Reports

As stated in the Homeschool Application form, the Department of Education (DES) requires an annual reporting process. This means submitting a report at the end of the school year. The final report is due by the end of the school year, July 31st.


Many curriculum come with a grading rubric so you can keep track of how well your student is progressing. Online programs will also compile reports that you can submit to the Department of Education. The DES wants to see that your child is making progress and is completing work appropriate for their grade level. Reports can be written in a variety of formats. Many will use a report-card style, such as the example we have included below. Other reports can be written in narrative paragraph style, detailing what has been learned thus far and what the plans are for the second half of the year.


Report Samples


Here is a report sample written in more of an official school report card style. This is most effective when the student has been assigned a grade for their courses.
