Instructional Days Tracker
Most states require homeschool students to study for a certain number of instructional days. For 30 of the states, that number of days is 180, but the number of days for the rest of the states varies between a little under 170 to 181 days, and in a few states, the regulation doesn’t apply at all. Respecting this law is important, because breaking it can mean penalties, fines, or sentences.
Fortunately, tracking our number of school days is much easier than actually getting through them, right? While I do use a planner/calendar to keep track of our daily and monthly responsibilities, I prefer to keep our number of instructional days on a separate paper that I can easily slip into my “Master Binder” at the end of the year. My “Master Binder,” as I refer to it, is where I keep important and legal documentation related to our home school.
Do you need an easy way to track (or plan) your number of school days?
- Because the sheet does not include specific dates, you can print it off again each year to mark your days.
- Lines at the bottom allow for tallying each month.
- July is included on both ends for the purpose of schedule flexibility.
