I am looking for wonderful ways that you high school moms/dads have found to keep records of things your child has done.

I use SCMO (Simply Charlotte Mason's Organizer)for our daily books. I love it and it has worked well for us for years. So keeping those is not an issue. If they "read" it or I have it planned all year it's there and I can print an entire report at any time with what they have done or are doing.

What I am talking about is more the stuff that comes up and isn't "planned". Example - we watched a biography on Davy Crockett, and went to a class on Raising Healthy Families. I want to keep records of these type of things but need an effective way to do it.

Do you do find: 1. Just buying a calendar each year just for these things works well? Just making notes on the date? 2. Do you find a notebook with each child's name works best? OR 3. Have you found a more efficient way to keep track of this?
Suggestions and comments would be very appreciated.

This might depend on your states laws about record keeping - here in Texas there are NO laws about record keepin. I keep records I will need for college applications.    In high school I keep records so 1. I can have a transcript! 2. I write up course descriptions (general type description) and 3. my child can create a resume if needed. So the only extra things I might keep track of are volunteering, church activities, extra curricular stuff (sports, art class. . . ) and jobs. For each class I keep records of grades, books/materials used.

I find that keeping track of every little thing too time consuming. But maybe your state requires it

Each week I hand dd 14yrs a simple list of the weeks assignments. After that week - it gets thrown away. I even will delete it from my computer after a while.
