Does anyone have a nice template for quarterly reports they can share?

I've been hand-writing dd's because I like the form I have-has boxes so I don't have to write too much inside! But I need to move to doing my forms on the computer; ds hits first grade in the fall and I can't do TWO handwritten forms each quarter.

I don't want to do Word because I was hoping to have boxes. So I thought Excel would be nice, but it doesn't have to be. I am not familiar enough with Excel (that's an understatement :lol:) to make one myself. Even if yours is for a different state than mine, I can modify it to show our state's requirements. Thanks!

I'm in NY. We have to do quarterly reports.

I set up my quarterly much like my IHIP (individualized home instruction plan). I list the subjects. Under each I describe what we plan to do. Usually I just list a book and a few buzz words (topics). Then come quarterly report time I write 2 lines at the top (after the demographic stuff: name, address, etc). I write: " Hours of instruction: 225+ hours of instruction were provided" and " Assessment: CHILD'S NAME is progressing at a satisfactory level or above in all subject matter."

Then under each subject (as listed on the IHIP) I list the topics we covered. So, for example, under spelling I would write: " Spelling: spelling list words covering the following rules: consonant blends sm, sp, st, fr, cr, br, bl, fl, pl, tr, dr, nd, lt; y as a vowel, long o and u, long e; proofreading, word usage, alphabetizing, syllables"

That is all I do. It satisfies the regulations. I state the number of hours, what we did, and an indication of the child's progress.

So for the next quarter, I just open up that file, change the topics covered, and save as a new file. I chose my dates to be evenly spaced based on a year round schedule. So each month I add to the form. It takes a few minutes to add in my info each month. Then come time to submit it is done. For some subjects it doesn't change much.

That works well for me.

I have used the template here (http://www.geocities.com/gpielstick/Homeschooling_Forms.html). If you scroll down, you can open them in Word document format and save to your computer.

just got back, sorry. I will probably end up doing like Wendy, so I don't have to give grades, etc. I had hoped for little boxes so I wouldn't have to write much in the content section, but what Wendy is doing is what I figured I'd have to end up doing. It will definitely make it easier to have it made up on the computer and just type the things in! I already do my IHIPs on the computer.
Thanks!
