What Texas asks for

3 obligations. We handle each.

Leeper v. Arlington ISD (1994) · TX Sup. Ct.

Reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship. No specific provider required.

→ Lyceumly covers all five areas in our default plan — automatically.
● RECORDS · Always

Keep your own records

TEC §29.916 · best practice

No filing required, but recommended in case of college admissions, return to school, or rare district inquiry.

→ Your dashboard auto-keeps an attendance log, hours by subject, and work samples. Export anytime.
● WITHDRAWAL LETTER · Once · before October

Letter of withdrawal (only if leaving public school)

TEA guidance

A signed letter to the child's current school stating they are now homeschooled. No reply required.
