I have had several questions on submitting the NOI- Notice of Intent. The NOI should be mailed to the superintendent's office within the first week of school starting for your district. In the same envelope, the prior year's End of Year Assessment should be provided at that time.
My district will send a worksheet form to fill out for convenience. Some people use this, some people don't. I don't use it, I type up my own. I make sure to include what is required and nothing more; for example, email and phone number is optional so I do not include it.
Here is a link to the law and what is required:

Here is an example copy of the NOI that I submit.
