Every school uses all types of forms, both for recordkeeping and school assignments. CHEA has provided school and student record forms through our publications An Introduction to Home Education and The High School Handbook. We’re happy to get your started with forms and samples from An Introduction to Home Education manual. You are welcome to download and duplicate these forms for your personal use.
School Records
While some school records are required, you can keep them in whatever format works well for you. The samples included here are just for ideas. Feel free to make copies of any blank forms for your own family’s personal use, or design your own. Also note that there are several different samples for many of the records. You certainly don’t need all of these.

Teaching Records
None of the records depicted in this section’s samples are legally required ones. But you’ll need some way to keep track of what you want to do each week and what you’ve completed. As with the school records section, choose what looks easy for you to use and go with that. You can always change things as you go.

Pupil Records
Like teaching records, none of these forms are required. The samples in this section only show a couple of ways to keep records. There are actually many ways that fit your family and style.

Using Fillable PDF Forms

- Save the original forms before using them for your recordkeeping.

- As you record on each form, be sure to save it.
- You may wish to transfer these records to a CD or DVD at the end of the semester or school year, as appropriate.
You will be able to view and download the forms in your browser, but in order to manipulate the content Adobe Reader is needed. The basic version of the software is free to use.
