Hi Nilsa! I have to say I’ve never lived in a state that requires reporting like that. I do know other families who submit their hours and “final grade” for the school year when the state requires, even though they aren’t quite done. You could also plan to start your school year a full year before the report is due. I definitely understand the struggle of working at home and homeschooling – we are relying on the small income generated by this blog, which means I get up at 4am and work until 9am, then work again during the kids’ nap time and on weekends. I am working towards at least cutting down a few hours a day, though, so I can get more sleep!

I hope you get to make school choices that benefit your family the most. ❤️ I do recommend Plan Your Year at pambarnhill.com – it helped me to organize our school year and reporting for a lot less stress!

All I have to say is I admire their easiness in adapting to anything new.
Now, we live in the sate of NY. The one year I home-schooled, my biggest source of stress stemmed from two sources: regulations and paperwork, on the one hand, and on the other, my inability to balance schooling and work. I wish I didn’t need to seek to provide an income to supplement my husband’s but that’s not realistic right now. However, I’m hopeful and pray I can go back to do it next year…
How do I reconcile homeschooling year round with the type of reports I must submit annually to the state?

I stress when I have my year all planned out and life happens. We are moving to a more year-round schedule starting this June. I am already feeling better about it. 😉

Like you, I like to plan for a few weeks at a time but leave some wiggle room for the unexpected. We school year round, taking chunks of time off when the weather is best here in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing. ~Blessings~
