** If you are in a particularly difficult district, they may ask for more info. You can also list your individual subjects and give a letter grade for each (ABCD or EGSN) and/or a very brief description as to what was covered over the quarter. This sample quarterly was inspired by D. Bennink.

Hi,
Is this all that is required in a quarterly report? What about the attendance sheet and the sheet for grades and material covered?
I would like to know, are we expected to tell exactly what we have covered, or can we just simplify and say that we have covered x amount in each subject.
Thanks!
I have been sending this exact letter for almost 3 years with no problem whatsoever. It states everything that is asked for in the regulations. I never use the forms they send. We aren't required to. I say it's always better to send as little as possible. If your district requires more, they'll request it. The short, but very detailed IHIP I send is probably what allows for such a brief quarterly. If there comes a time a new director asks for more from me, I would send them the "learning log" that I keep for each child. I keep this for my own records, but it can come in handy if ever needed.
That makes sense. Thanks!
Wow. On Quarterlies, I've always listed details of the topics that we've covered, but I'm going to see if we can get away with this next year. Our school district hasn't responded at all to homeschooler's paperwork for the last three years, so I'm going to try this and count on them remaining silent!
Where you said, "We have covered at least 80% of the planned material for this quarter." Does this imply that you are 80% through the curriculum for the year or that you only completed 80% of what you planned to do in the quarter?
I always get confused by this.
The IHIP my school district sent to me is so small that I would never be able to list all of my subjects into the area they provided.
I think I will follow your IHIP format instead.
Thanks.
The reason I mention the 80% thing is that in the regs (part g, #4) it states that the quarterly report should contain the following: "a written explanation in the event that less than 80 percent of the amount of the course materials as set forth in the IHIP planned for that quarter has been covered in any subject."
I prefer to let them know that we did, in fact, cover around 1/4 of what I listed in the IHIP. Since my quarterly is so minimal, an extra clarifying sentence or 2 can't hurt. :)
Thanks so much for this very helpful info! We have successfully used this twice now in a not-so-homeschool-friendly district. Also have sent friends to your blog. Happy homeschooling! :)
It is November 16 2010. I am getting the 1st Quarterly report ready. Your information was so helpful to me, last year, I had no problems. We are planning to move to Kentucky God permits by 2011-12? Homeschool friendly, and regulations aren't like NYS. If it was up to the liberals, they will ban Home schooling. God bless everyone!

For the last four years I have sweated quarterly reports. They tended to be just as long and detailed as my IHIPs. This year I have all three of my boys in grades 1,3, and 5. I can't do that detailed a quarterly report for all three anymore.
This year I'm using your form. I just sent them in and, hopefully, they are enough. If they are accepted without question, I will breathe a big sigh of relief because all three reports only took about ten minutes to edit and send off.
Thanks,
Cathy
I actually had the opportunity to speak with the Principal of the school about doing the report. She had told me what she would like to see in the report. Ex. words learned in Spanish, etc. So I have given the detailed list. I took the IHIP and from it just copied and pasted what was covered so far. The most work I had to do is the Spanish since the syllabus was in Spanish to begin with. It would have been very nice if she would have just accepted this letter though. lol
will this work for buffalo ny
This should work anywhere. If you are in a particularly difficult district, then you may have to add more information if asked.
Do the Board of Education in NYC still take the quarter reports like this ?? And if they do can you just email me letting me know that they do at LarissaHernandez7850@gmail.com & Do you also happen to have an example of the annual report report??
Do you happen to know if the Board of Education still takes the quarter reports like this?? And if they still happen to accept it like this .. can you please email me and let me know? . I also was wondering if you had an example of the annual reports?? I would appreciate it. if you can help me out with this thank you so much 😁
Yes the DOE still takes these quarterly reports. In fact, I still send them myself. A sample of the annual assessment narrative I send is in the sidebar.
Would the wording need to be changed on the 4th quarter report? "Is progressing" just doesn't sound right to me since it is the end of the year.
Can we still do this in NYC Can we use this report for all the grades? I appreciate your advice
Hi! Yes, you can still use it. I used this same template every quarter since 2005. I added slightly more details when ds got to high school grades, but it's fine to use it as it is.
Okay so what would I put if we have been deschooling since 11/1? He hasn’t been doing much of anything really. I took him out of high school of fashion and I really have no idea what to do for quarterly report due in January. HELP!
Good evening, I just want to thank you for this amazing website it truly helps.i started homeschooling my kids grade 1 and grade 3rd on February 28 2019, can I still give the 3rd quarterly report for April 15 2019 ? Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Hi! Yes, you can submit this for your 3rd quarterly. I would just add a sentence that the first 2 quarterlies were completed at their elementary school.
Hi I wanted to know if this still is okay to send in the quarterly reports like this. This will be my first time sending in the quarterly report and I have filled out the form in detail. But this would be much easier to do it this way. Please email at dimplez854@gmail.com thanks
Is this info here still good since its now 2020-21 s school year?
I've used this quarterly as recently as 2018. It should still be ok. If not, use it as a base and add things to it.
