Recordkeeping

 

Keeping good records is essential not only to comply with state law but also to keep track of what your child has learned. Most states requires that you keep tract of 180 days of school in a log book. Other states have more stringent requirements. Check with your local support group or HSLDA for more information.

I also strongly recommend that you keep a portfolio for each child. You may need any or all of these records for college admissions, job applications, and/or problems with Department of Human Services. Another good reason to keep them is so that you can go back and see that you actually have accomplished something!
