ACTION NEEDED BY 9/22: The document you submitted was INCORRECT or INCOMPLETE.

Deadline Approaching: Documentation needed by

11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, new students in first grade and above who are in a Scholarship Choice Confirmed status and have not yet been presented for Quarter 1 funding must upload an approved document in EMA confirming withdrawal from public school.

You are receiving this email because the document(s) submitted for your student(s), listed below, did not meet the requirements, as it was either incomplete or did not contain the required information needed to verify public school withdrawal.

To be presented for funding consideration for Quarter 1 and/or Quarter 2, you have one more chance to resubmit one of the approved documents confirming your student's withdrawal from public school by Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Additional documentation will not be accepted after the deadline, and incomplete or incorrect submissions will not be processed. Students without approved proof of withdrawal documentation by the deadline will not be presented for Quarter 1 and/or Quarter 2 funding and will not receive funding for those quarters.

Student Name(s): Name(s)

Please review the requirements and submit an acceptable document as outlined below.

How to Resubmit Documentation

When you are ready to resubmit, you will need to delete the previously submitted document from EMA before you are able to upload the new one.

To do this, you will simply click the "Delete" button next to your previously submitted "Standard Withdrawal Form (2026-27)" document on your Student Profile in EMA. Once deleted, you will be able to select "Standard Withdrawal Form" again from the dropdown in EMA.
