Quiver0f10 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 how long do you save these? I still have the ones from NH and we have moved to two different states since then :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You can put everything in a notebook but I don't really worry more than a year back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You mean the one I send, or the reply? I save the format for the one I send on my computer in Word. I print it out with changes every year, and I don't save the previous version. I save the one they send for about 5 minutes before I toss it in the trash.

We have to fill out a pre-formatted form every year. We don't receive anything back but we have to test inthe spring. I have kept copies of this form and the testing results. I also have copies of the forms I made and sent in NH and Maine as well as any replies, copies of their portfolios and any replies. LOL. The file is getting a wee bit thick :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think I have most if not all of them. If I looked for a long time, I could probably find the one from Ohio which was when my next week 21 year old was 6. I probably also have the paperwork from CA, NM, and know I do have the paperwork from FL and VA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in AR Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I still have copies of all the ones I've filed. This year, the local school district made a copy of the form I took in, stamped it, and gave it to me. I have that copy stuck in my file, too. I guess I'll keep all of them until all the dc are in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm pretty sure you can toss the ones from NH. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVA Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have a small 2-drawer file cabinet next to my school desk so I've got enough room to save them.....dating back to 1989 when my twins turned 7- compulsory age for that state at that time.... I've also kept all 5 kids' test scores. Not a big deal- they don't take up much room. I guess there is no legal reason to keep them all......maybe I'll show them to the kids one day..... :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 how long do you save these? I still have the ones from NH and we have moved to two different states since then :blush: I've heard that for kids applying to the service academies, it can sometimes be useful to have *all* of the paperwork from past years. Perhaps Margaret or someone else with experience could comment? I *think* I have all of ours so far, but I can't swear I could put my hands on them easily...

elegantlion Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 We file a LOI and we get a form letter back from the state. I keep copies of both in our permanent file for the year. I carry the letter we get from the state as my proof of homeschooling for discounts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbeach Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have a homeschool binder for important paperwork like my intent to homeschool, follow-up reports, etc. This year I signed up under an umbrella school just to keep all bases covered and even at that the district still didn't "get it."

Quiver0f10 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks everyone. I am glad that I am not alone in saving all this paperwork and will keep my file going. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I have copies from every year I have hs'd. I couldn't find one year's due to to an accidental delete. I contacted the school dept, and they had everything I had ever emailed them on file. I've never sent them anything in the mail or on actual paper. ;) Good they never had a system failure in all those years. lol I don't have to save them, but I like a record...
