Our plan for school for our sons will be transferring to a local junior/high school by 7th grade. I was hearing that it requires a transcript of some kind.

My first thought was "Oh no, I'll need to enroll in a program to get this and have accountability."

But then thought there must be a way. I'm going to find out more details from the school of what is needed, and obviously at 2nd grade I don't need to fret too much, but I'd love to hear a way to keep a "transcript" if you're using a CM or living books approach to education.

I'm not 100% familiar with what is meant by a transcript, but why can't you write up an official looking document listing what ds has covered.

Transcripts are usually just course titles with grades.

You could keep a few pieces of his work around, and some booklists, just in case they wanted to see them. But I really doubt if many schools are that interested. If they really care about what level a kid is at on entrance they would do a placement exam, so maybe you could find out what classes the kids usually take before entering that jr high, and then spend a bit of time covering that material just so your kid doesn't feel overwhelmed by the transition.
