Keeping Records of Grades

Keeping grade records is a part of required homeschooling records for some of us. On this page are some forms that you may print for your homeschool grade records. If you have a spreadsheet program such as Excel or the free OpenOffice Calc, be sure to also look at Grades and Attendance. I designed grades and attendance especially for those homeschoolers, like myself, who have to keep track of grades and attendance.

The image above shows a close-up of the form. This is a suggestion of how to use the form. Lines 1-6 are for ONE subject. There are 10 rows of these groups of numbered lines. The subjects are written again on the second page of the form.
REFERENCING THE GRADES: As shown above, the first subject is Math. Notice that the letter "m" has been written next to each number and numbers have been written across the top. These are for referencing grades. Example... the red grades are in: m1-5 and sp1-5. Referencing grades is done if you need to make a note of the source of the grade.

with projects

This form has space for 6 notes/projects/other as well as tests and daily work. Add the grades in the days which the graded work was done. That means you will leave some of the cells empty.. which is fine. The cells are keyed by week and day. The days are noted with Roman numerals. Example.. the first Monday is 1I, the second Monday is 2I.

If you can, it is better to use the RTF or DOC format of the report card.
These two files have the same layout, they are just different formats.
