A Google Sheets and Excel workbook for the three records Missouri asks a home school or FPE school to keep: an hours log, a portfolio of work samples and a record of evaluations, plus high school credits.
Log a day in a minute. The workbook adds up total, core and at-home hours for each child, tells you who's on pace, and prints the pages you keep.
What’s inside
- Daily Log: one row per subject with a note on what you did. Pick "All students" for a family lesson and it counts for every child
- Dashboard: hours against 1,000 / 600 / 400, On pace or Behind, the hours a week each child needs, plus counts of work samples, evaluations and credits
- Missouri status from each birthdate, including the date a child turns 16 and the hours rules stop
- Monthly totals, a year-long Student Log, a printable Monthly Log and a one-page Year-End Report per child
- Credits tab: adds each course's hours from the log and marks a credit at 100 hours, Missouri's definition (RSMo 167.031.5)
- Portfolio index and Evaluations log, the other two Missouri records
- Resources tab with Missouri and neighboring-state links
- A filled-in example workbook and a 14-page parent guide
Who it’s for
Missouri families, home school or FPE, with one to six children who want all three records in one place, including a high schooler counting credits.

Common questions
Google Sheets or Excel? Both come with the download. Google Sheets is free and works on a phone or tablet: open the copy link in the guide and click Make a copy. Excel needs Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021 or newer. It won't run in Excel 2019 and older, or in Apple Numbers.
Does co-op count? Yes. Mark the row Away. Core co-op classes count toward the 1,000 and the 600, just not toward the 400 hours at your regular home school location.
