Guide to Work Samples and Monthly Reports

There are two separate areas of evidence for families to complete each month - student Work Samples, and their Monthly Report.  These are reviewed and combined with school participation by the WSLP coordinator, used to determine Satisfactory progress, and recorded for the state.  If you have any questions along the way, please do not hesitate to ask!

If your child is taking PE, Music, Art, or Science with us at the HEE, you may copy/paste your instructor’s monthly e-mail into the corresponding boxes.  With these classes, the material and time covered is equivalent to what happens at a traditional school.

For the remaining areas - Reading, Writing, Math, Social Studies - our classes do not equate to the course load at a traditional school.  Please provide information on the work being done at home in each of these areas!

Please provide work samples of assignments from home, using approved district curriculum.  Only one sample is needed in each of the four areas, each month.

If your child is taking Science with us, you may use an artifact from class (or make a video recording of what they have learned) as their work sample.  For English/Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies, please make sure you provide work samples of learning at home.
