Trendy Transcript

If you have teenagers in your homeschool, then you realize the value of a transcript of their high school years. A transcript is a summation of your child's high school years - 9th-12th grades.

Over the last five years, my husband and I operated a home for troubled girls at which time I had three high school students enrolled.

Staying organized was a requirement in my opinion!!

I ordered a copy of my own transcript record from my graduating high school to use as a guide. I then "recreated" the format of the transcript in Microsoft Excel.

This made it easier to input information for each of the four years of high school. There is a place for grades, attendance, awards received, achievement test scores and personal achievements.

I didn't stop there!

I arranged this transcript, along with copies of achievement tests, attendance records, a scope and sequence of the curriculum used and any awards received into a three-hole folder with tabulation.

Now all the important records and documents for my daughter's high school years are neatly located in one place!
