What’s Included in the Homeschool Attendance Record
You will find the following simple features of this year’s homeschool attendance record:
- Full-year calendar from July to June for 2025-2026
- One-page printable PDF
- Simple checkboxes for each school day
- Room to write short notes (sickness, field trip, etc.)
I am required by my state to keep an attendance record, so I make sure this is a priority. I still school three children and have many, many balls in the air.
This school year, I will have an 11th grader, 9th grader, and 3rd Grader. My oldest is taking a semester off to work full-time and pay for his next round of schooling, and my newest graduate is still discerning and praying about what to do in her next season of life.
Because of my many responsibilities inside and outside of the home, I want to make sure my state requirements are on auto-pilot so I can think about it just one time, and then not have to deal with it again.
In fact, much of my homeschool and my home in general is run this way – put a system in place so I don’t have to keep thinking about a particular task. Set it and go.
Thirteen years ago I brainstormed this idea to put the attendance on one sheet of paper and haven’t looked back!
I keep my record in the front of my homeschool mom binder that is almost always open on the school table. It contains all of the schedules, plans, and miscellaneous things that I use each day to keep me on track.
Even though I have a lot of children, I still only use one check mark each day to mark a school day as in session. If one of my children is not in school for some reason (sickness, etc.), I just mark that on the side.
I also keep track of days and weeks we take off, any camps or major academic events, our outside class calendar, and field trips on this one sheet of paper.
How I Plan Our School Year on the Calendar
First, I brainstorm our whole school year on a Month-At-A-Glance Split Year Calendar (that’s the exact one I use every year – Template 4). After consolidating all of the schedules with various activities, I create a final copy of the Split Year Calendar.
Then I block out those weeks off on this Homeschool Attendance Calendar.
Here’s a step-by-step simplistic guide of how to implement this Attendance Tracker in your own homeschool setting:
1️⃣ Print the copies you will need
Print a separate sheet for each child if your state requires individual records. For relaxed states, one family sheet may suffice.
2️⃣ Add to your homeschool binder
Keep the sheet in a front pocket or tabbed section of your main homeschool planner so it’s easy to mark each day.
3️⃣ Track each day of school
Use a checkmark, dot, or highlight for every instructional day.
4️⃣ Write in notes as needed
Keep track of out-of-the-ordinary days like field trips, sick time, or co-op participation.
How to Use this Homeschool Attendance Record
At the end of each month, you’ll see two slots. Here is how to fill them in:
→ Beside Total Days: Write the total school days completed for the month.
→ Beside Cumulative: Keep a running tally of the total school days completed for the year. Just add on the days completed each month.
Super easy!
Here’s a look at my attendance calendar this previous school year.
This calendar runs with July-December 2025 on one side and January-June 2026 on the other.
Make sure you print it double-sided so you only have to keep up with one piece of paper!
