Free Homeschool Attendance & Instructional Day Log (Printable PDF)
Most states set a minimum number of instructional days or hours per year, and expect families to be able to show what was actually logged if asked. This printable gives you one page per month to record whether school was in session, hours, and a note on subjects covered — the same basic record Homeschool Owl tracks automatically once you're logging digitally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many instructional days does my state require?+
It varies — commonly 175-180 days, but check your state's exact requirement rather than assuming. You can look it up on your state's requirements page.
Do I need to log every single day, even holidays or sick days?+
You only need to log days school was actually in session. Most states care about the total instructional days/hours met, not a record of every calendar day off.
