Hi! It is not an obligation by law for homeschoolers in Illinois to keep records , however, it is deemed considerably appropriate and beneficial to keep a homeschooling record for your child’s progress year to year. This information is very important when it comes to developing a high school transcript for future college or career needs or in case the homeschooler needs to return to school in the future.

As a parent, you might want to consider things worth maintaining a record of. A few pointers for you:

• For any standardized tests taken, keep record of the scores

• The subject topics undertaken at each grade level

• Other attainments of the child including extracurricular activities the child participated in

• Any volunteer service the student undertook while homeschooling

• The grades by subject gotten by the child
