Feature
A homeschool attendance tracker that counts for you
Updated June 2026
Homeschoolio's attendance tracker counts your days and instructional hours as you log, so you can see exactly where you stand against your state's requirement without adding anything up by hand. When the year ends, the record is already done.
It counts as you go
Every day you record in the log counts toward attendance automatically, so you keep one record instead of two. You can also use a month calendar to mark days directly.
- Days and hours totaled for you, overall and per subject.
- A progress meter such as "142 of 180 days" with a projected finish date.
- Holiday and break marking, including bulk-marking a whole week off.
Built around your state's rule
States count differently. Some require a number of days, some a number of hours, and some neither. When you pick your state in Homeschoolio, the tracker measures against the right target and shows how close you are. See the exact requirement on your state's page.
A clean sheet when you need one
For your files, an evaluator, or a district request, export a tidy attendance record as a PDF in a tap. Prefer paper? Use the free printable attendance sheet and keep the running count by hand.
How Homeschoolio helps
The attendance tracker is part of the same fast record everything else builds on: a tap-to-log log book, a gradebook, and the filings your state expects. It works offline and exports free, any time.
Common questions
How many days does homeschool attendance have to cover?
It depends on your state. Many set a number such as 180 days, some count instructional hours instead, and others set no number at all. Your state page lists the exact requirement, and Homeschoolio tracks your progress against it.
How do homeschoolers track attendance?
You can mark each day present, absent, or a holiday, or let it count automatically from the days you log learning. Homeschoolio does the second: when you record a day in the log, it counts toward your attendance, so you are not keeping two records.
Do I need to count instructional hours too?
Some states and most high-school credit rules count by hours rather than days. Homeschoolio totals both, overall and per subject, so you can show whichever your state asks for.
Can I print a homeschool attendance sheet?
Yes. You can export a clean attendance record as a PDF for your files or your district, and there is a free printable attendance sheet here if you prefer to keep it by hand.
