Greetingshomeschool-placer. It is not required by law for homeschooled students in Texas to maintain records ,notwithstanding this, it is deemed highly appropriate and valuable to keep a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress year to year. This information is crucial 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 down the road.

As a parent, you may want to consider things worth maintaining a record of. A couple of ideas for you:

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

• The grades by subject received by the children

• The subject topics covered at each grade level

• Other achievements of the children including extracurricular activities the children participated in

• Any volunteer work the student spent while homeschooling

Homeschool recordkeeping in Texas is not a requirement by law.

It is not an obligation by Texas law, but it is considered considerably helpful and beneficial to create a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress year to year. You probably may want to have a look at the following page which contains specific information on Texas homeschool laws and regulations:
