A printable homeschool attendance log for one child. Check off each school day, jot what you covered, and sign the year-end summary. 16 pages, undated, works in any state.
This is the pen-and-paper option. No setup, no formulas to learn. Print it, put it in a binder, and fill it in at the kitchen table.
Most attendance sheets are just checkboxes. That's fine until someone asks what you did in October. This one gives each day a short line for notes, so the record actually tells you something.
What's inside (16 pages, US Letter)
- Cover page: student, school name, school year, grade
- How to use it, plus a short note on state requirements
- Year at a Glance: one checkbox per school day, all 12 months on one page, with monthly and yearly totals
- 12 monthly pages: present, hours, and what you covered, days 1 to 31
- Year-end summary: totals, your state's requirement if you have one, and a signature line
It's undated. You write the months in yourself, so it works whether you start in July or January.
Which tracker do you need?
Get this one if you have one child, like paper, and want a clean record you can sign and file.
Get the Attendance & Hours Tracker ($6.99) instead if you're logging more than one child, your state or program counts hours or core hours, or you want the spreadsheet to tell you if you're on track. That one is a spreadsheet for up to six kids, with progress status, a count of school days left, and printable reports.
Homeschooling in Arkansas? The Arkansas Homeschool Record Book puts attendance, report cards, portfolio pages, and the EFA and Notice of Intent records in one book.
Who should skip it
If you want a dated planner with lesson boxes for every Tuesday, this isn't it. It records your school days. It doesn't plan them.
Requirements vary a lot from state to state. This log records what you did. Check your state's law or your program's rules for what you're required to keep.
