What New York asks

In plain words, each quarterly report under 8 NYCRR 100.10(g) holds (8 NYCRR 100.10, Home instruction (New York Codes, Rules and Regulations)):

• the hours of instruction during that quarter;
• a description of the material covered in each subject;
• a grade in each subject, or a written narrative of the child's progress;
• a written explanation if less than 80 percent of the material planned for the quarter was covered in any subject.
• The annual assessment goes in with the fourth quarterly report.
