All year
Teach the subjects Nevada names: English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies (history, geography, economics, government).
Source: NRS chapter 388D Alternative School Choices (Nevada Legislature)The law names no records to keep. The parent must be prepared to present the educational plan of instruction and proof of the child's identity to a court if the court requires it. The district keeps a copy of the written acknowledgment for not less than 15 years.

Good habits (not in the law)
-
Keep a copy of everything you send, and of any acknowledgement you get back, with the date.
-
Start simple records on day one: the days you teach, the books you read and a few samples of work in each subject. They help if you move, return to school or apply to college.
