How to fill it in without guessing

Start from marked work.Look at the term’s sheets and tests. A score such as 12 of 15 is more honest than a feeling.
Write one sentence per subject.What your child can do now, in plain words: “Adds within 100 and is starting to regroup.”
Name one strength and one next step.These two lines are the part children and grandparents read.
Sign and file it.Keep the card with the term’s work samples and your attendance sheet.

What goes on a report card for your state?

Most states we have checked do not name a report card at all. Some ask for quarterly or semiannual reports, with hours or attendance and a grade or a short narrative for each subject. Read what yours asks in homeschool records by state, and ask your district or evaluator if they have a form. These templates are a starting point, not a state form.

Skip the ticking

PencilGo keeps the mark behind every scanned sheet, as N of M with the date and the skill, so the grade you write on the card is based on real work. At year end you can also see a sample K-5 portfolio with dated work samples.

About five minutes a day for you. No screen time for your child.

Questions parents ask

Does a homeschool need report cards?

It depends on your state. Some states ask for grades or a written progress report, some for an evaluation, and many for neither. A report card is also a handy summary for your own file or for an evaluator. See what each state asks for.

What grading scale should I use in elementary?

For kindergarten to grade 2, a three-step scale (Not yet, Getting there, Got it) says what matters without a letter. For grades 3 to 5, many families use letters or percentages, and the sheet prints a scale you can change.

How often should I make one?

Most families make one a term or a quarter, or twice a year. If your state or district names report dates, use those. The sheet has a term box, so you can print one for each term.

What if my child is behind?

Write it plainly and kindly: what your child can do now, what comes next, and how you will help. “Not yet” is an honest answer and it points forward. A report card is a snapshot of one term, not a verdict on your child.

Can I get one with no typing?

These are paper sheets, so you write by hand. If your child works on PencilGo sheets, each scan keeps its mark as N of M, so the numbers you write on the card come from real, dated work.

Print. Scan. The record fills itself.

Print a sheet, your child works in pencil, and you scan it when it’s done. PencilGo marks it, picks the next sheet and keeps the record. Free, about five minutes a day, and your child never touches a screen.
