Most of the homeschooling law is in MN Statutes 120A.22, 120A.24, and 120A.26. The initial report to the superintendent and the letter of intent to continue to provide instruction must contain the required information, but are not required to use the forms provided by the Department of Education or the school district (which often ask for more information than the law requires).
Often the school district prefers that documentation be sent directly to their homeschool liaison, although the law says to send it to the superintendent.
"Immunization" requirements also apply to homeschoolers, MN Statute 121A.15 and administrative rule 4604 although there is a procedure to declare an exemption by submitting a notarized statement (your bank may offer notary services), and there is otherwise the option of a parent making a written statement about the vaccines the child has received. The Department of Health has an Immunization Record Form that includes an exemption section, which would still need to be notarized and which incorporates wording that exceeds the parent's legal requirement. Medical exemptions are also available.
