Homeschool Tracker

Once in awhile there comes a great software program that is a must have for my homeschool. Such is the case with the program Homeschool Tracker. I just absolutely love this program. It allows me to keep organized records and track of my son’s progress through the school year. It also allows me to keep all of the records that I am required to keep by my state in one place, including attendance records.

I think that perhaps one of my very favorite functions of the Homeschool Tracker is that I can generate a report card for my child. This makes him feel like he is accountable for his grades and it ensures that I am doing what I need to do also. I can also generate a transcript for my child when necessary.

The program takes a little bit to get used to, but there are several helps all along the way. The user manual is put together very well and their site offers step by step guides with screen shots if you really want to have your hand held. There is also a forum that you can register for and ask other homeschool parents any questions that you may have.

The basic edition of the Homeschool Tracker is free and includes any updates that you may need forever. It has many useful functions and many people find they are able to accomplish all that they need to with this version.

I upgraded this year to the Homeschool Tracker Plus version which is a paid version. I wanted to try out the other functions that are included with this version and I am now wondering why I didn’t upgrade sooner. I absolutely love all of the little extra’s that are included for what I consider to be a rather nominal and extremely reasonable price. Again, any future upgrades are included in the price forever.

I know that this school year will be organized and I will be able to generate just about any kind of report that I can possibly think of with ease. I will be able to motivate my child and account for his studies. If you are looking for a great organizational tool for your homeschool, I highly suggest this great product.
