Quizzes, tests, grades, Oh My! is right!  How do you keep track of it all?

Homeschool requirements and reporting vary from state to state.  For example, in Georgia, parents are required to “write an annual progress assessment report in each required subject area for each student. These reports shall be retained for at least three years.”  This assessment could just be a description without grades, or it could be formal.  However, if you are planning to send your child back to public school or your state has additional requirements, here are some options to help you meet your requirements.
