Q1 Progress Reports: Due Oct 15
Tips & Helpful Info - Raven Homeschool
First Quarter Progress Reports are due Oct 15. Let us help!
The hardest thing about the progress report process is getting around to it. With that in mind, we have compiled some helpful tips and a walkthrough to make this process as easy as possible.
- Students should be 25% complete with their 2026-27 classes by this date.
- For each course your student is enrolled in, you need to provide a grade, a short progress summary, and a work sample.
- If these three items are not provided, your teacher will reach out to get them completed or they will enter an "incomplete" placeholder while they are waiting for your submission.
If you need help with your progress reports or would like to discuss anything with your advisory teacher, please contact our office! We do know that some of you did not get your curriculum until later or may have extenuating circumstances, please reach out to your teacher to discuss those if they are a concern to having first quarter grades turned in.

What to Include for a Successful Progress Report:
- Grade - Letter grade that the student has earned during that quarter.
- Progress Summary - Should include on average the number of hours per day and number of days per week student spends on the subject. It should also include topics covered. As a great reminder of what your student learned each quarter, you should be able to pull the main topics right from the curriculum. You may want to include the % grade they earned. Parents can include any supplementary materials being used for a specific course. Example: If a student reads 20 minutes 4-5 times a week, completes workbook pages, or receives and completes a subscription box, etc.
- Work Samples - One work sample per subject is required. An example of their best work (a paper, test, quiz) is suggested. A certificate of completion is another good work sample. Elective classes (non-high school) - photos of the student participating is acceptable. High school electives should include the class "journal" and log of documented hours.
- Parent Comments - This is a great place to record those learning opportunities that don't fit under any one particular subject. Examples: Participated in a chili cook-off and won 3rd place or volunteered at Special Olympics.
Your student's progress report is written documentation of what they learned during that time period. Think of it as an educational portfolio.

Save & Submit

- After you have entered grades, progress summaries, and work samples you can SUBMIT your student's progress report to your advisory teacher for approval.
- It is also helpful if you send your teacher a quick email to let them know once you have gotten them submitted so they can go in to review/approve them for you.
