Cakes Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I pulled my DD out of traditional school last year. We played around with various curriculim (loosely) for most of the year but opted for a more unschooling type transitional year. Next year she will be going to an accredited home study program where she will attend two days per week. They are asking for her transcripts for last school year which I don't have. How do I handle this? Any advice would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 What grade? If it was before high school, I might just list subjects: science, geography, language arts, however you would classify the areas she pursued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 She will be going into 8th grade, just finished a very loose 7th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I agree, maybe get on the Donna Young website to find a form that might fit your needs and just fill in subjects that were covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Would I be looking for a lesson plan, to sort of re-create what we did? Sorry, I am feeling a little lost. I knew this would be a challenge and unfortunately didn't plan for it very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No, you don't need lesson plans. A transcript is just going to be a list of what classes were taken and the grades received if any. You can think of it as what subjects she studied. So, it might say something like: English 7 American History Pre-Algebra Life Science Home Ec ... Think of the main subject areas and what your main focus in those areas was. You could have "General Science" or "History" if you bounced around a lot in those subjects and can't narrow it to a more focused title. ETA: You are just looking for a sample transcript. Transcript is your keyword. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneStepAtATime Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Since they are only asking for a transcript for this last year, most standard transcript forms probably won't fit what you need terribly well. You will probably have to create your own. They don't seem to be asking for details. Transcripts are basically just a list of course titles. Create some course titles that sort of describe what was covered and put them in a list. I would include elective type things, too, such as learning a musical instrument or typing etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 As always, the best policy is to ask the school exactly what they want. :) My guess is that the school is mostly likely looking for a list of classes, with possibly a grade for each class, and possibly the major curriculum for each class. A typed document, one page, on one side of one page is all the depth of a typical transcript. This would be a very thorough example of a middle school transcript: Transcript for Courses Completed in Grade 7 student __________________________________ date of birth _______________________________ entering grade __8__ for school year __2015-16__ address __________________________________ phone __________________________________ parent/homeschool administrator _________________ ----------------------- course . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . grade . . . . . . . . . curriculum Math/Science: Math: Pre-Algebra . . . .
