Quarter reports

Step 3: Based on NYS. These are due roughly every 10 weeks. You may choose your own dates however they have to be spaced in even and logical segments. They suggest November 15th, January 30th, April 15th, and June 30th. Each quarter report will need the number of instructional hours, a description of what was covered in each subject, a grade or narrative for each area and a written explanation if less than 80% of the materials planned for that quarter have been covered in any subject. There are attendance requirements of 180 days with the cumulative hours of instruction for grades 1-6 with 900 hours per year. The cumulative hours of instructions for grades 7-12 with 990 hours per year. You are required to maintain attendance records which must be made available to the school district upon request. They'll let you know if something is wrong. 

I keep a notebook exclusively for homeschool purposes. For what the day covered and when the quarters end. It makes it much more simple when filling out the quarterly.
