I wrote several weeks ago to request that your household complete a brief survey about the child listed

below. This child was selected based on an earlier survey that your household completed.

Name:

Age:

Sex:

Grade:

Unfortunately, we have not yet received your completed survey. You were invited to take that survey

because your household completed a short survey that the U.S. Census Bureau administered for the

U.S. Department of Education. In that short survey, you told us this child lived here, and we have

randomly selected that child to ask about in this follow-up survey.

We have mailed this survey using rush delivery because of the importance of your response.

 It should only take 20 minutes or less to fill out the survey.

As mentioned before, this survey is the final step in a study that provides important information on

homeschooling practices and resources. Your response to this survey will help provide a clear picture of

children’s educational experiences in the United States.

Please fill out the enclosed survey and mail it back in the postage-paid envelope as soon as possible.

If you have questions or need assistance we will be happy to help and can be reached toll-free at 1–888–

840–8353. More details about the study are provided on the back of the enclosed survey and online at
