Hello, What type of records are required of homeschooled children in California? By the way, any comments on the Lernsys program? Thanks in advance for any homeschool advice you can offer.

Welcome! It is an obligation by law for homeschooled children in California to keep some records such as the completed private school affidavit, records of immunization or waivers, faculty qualifications as well as their addresses, courses taught, and student attendance. It is also recommended and deemed beneficial to create a homeschooling record of your child’s progress over time. This information is very important when it comes to developing a high school transcript for universities or career needs or in the event the homeschooler needs to return to school in the future.

As a parent, you might want to consider keeping record of these:

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

• The subject materials studied at each grade level

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

• Any volunteer work the student performed while homeschooling

• The grades by subject received by the child

I suggest you take a look at this page which lists specific details on what is required to homeschool in California:

It is not only mandated by law, but it is also considered appropriate and valuable to keep a homeschooling record of your child’s progress year to year.
