Pick Missouri when you set up and the attendance report compares each child's days and hours to these numbers, with the school days still left in the year. You can change any value, choose Custom, or leave it Not tracked.
How Homeschool Up tracks it
How a day is counted
A school day counts as attended when a lesson was recorded on it, or when you logged learning that day: a museum, a nature walk, a read-aloud. It is a definition a parent can explain and show the record for.
How hours are counted
Each subject carries its usual minutes, and you can record the real minutes when you tick a lesson off. Recorded lessons and logged learning add their minutes to their area, so the total reconciles to the record.
Seeing the shortfall early
The report shows days attended, days required, and the school days still left in the year. If the days left cannot cover the days required, it says so in October, when there is still time.
Every value is yours to change
Pick a preset, choose Custom to enter what your state or umbrella school asks for, or leave it Not tracked. Attendance is recorded either way.
Let the attendance report keep count
Pick your state once. Every lesson you tick off after that is a day on the record.
