Hslda is the definite source for us homeschool laws by state.

Use the notice of intent form.  Indicate your choice (home instruction, religious exemption, certified tutor, private school umbrella).  If option 1, indicate your credentials (hs diploma or higher, va teacher license, prepackaged curriculum or program, or other evidence that you can adequately educate the child).  Provide a description of the curriculum (just a list of subjects).

By the end of the year (August 1 next summer), provide an evaluation (for a second grader: nationally-normed standardized test, evaluation letter from a licensed teacher, any other option enable to you AND the superintendent) to prove progress (note, this does not require a certain level attained, only progress over the previous year).

Hslda recommends that you withdraw your child.  But please note that it is not required.

Virginia law requires schools to withdraw children absent for 15 days.  Combined with your noi, that may be sufficient.

In the current situation, children are only being conditionally registered online, or the parents have to drop off their documents.  Given that situation, I’d suggest emailing the teacher and principal informally, then send the noi certified mail with return receipt and send a letter withdrawing your child to the school.
