ID Cards for Homeschool Families: Having a student id card for your homeschooled child can be helpful for receiving discounts at museums and other child-oriented activities. It gives some parents comfort to have an id for their child when out and about in public. This is especially helpful if your driving age child is driving alone to class and gets pulled over by a police officer. The Homeschool id provides proof that your child has the legal right to be out in public during school hours.

What is a Report Card? A typed assessment of a student’s work/progress/conduct. A typical yearly report card can include but not limited to grades, extracurricular activities, volunteering work, reading lists, curriculum used, and achievements. As homeschool parents, it’s best to be proactive, protected, and organized by documenting our kids’ progress.
Are Report Cards Required? Though Texas law does not require us to test or grade our child/student, many homeschool parents can use report cards/transcripts to keep track of milestones, academic achievements, and extracurricular activities for documentation or keepsakes. Typically, transcripts will be required for: a graduate entering college or trade school, for high school dual credit, and likely, for returning the child to public or private school if desired.
Report Card options:
- Elementary/Middle School $5.00 plus tax
- High School $5.00 plus tax

What is a Transcript
A more formal form of record-keeping, the majority of homeschooling families, use transcripts for college enrollment for grades 9-12. Transcripts typically include but are not limited to classes you completed, when you completed them, and grades for each class completed, along with a grade point average (GPA), extracurricular activities, accomplishments, standardized testing scores, and volunteer work. The transcript becomes a legal document in the state of Texas once the parent/guardian who is homeschooling the child signs and dates the transcript. It is recommended that you have the transcript notarized after the completion of the 12th grade and store it in a safe place.
Are Transcript Required?
For children in 8th grade and younger, transcripts may be needed if returning the child to public/private school, it depends on the school. For children 9th grade and older a transcript will be required for: a graduated student entering college or trade school, for high school dual credit with college, and likely, for returning the child to public/private school.
