Next to the subjects that your student completed during the past semester only, put the number grade earned and choose the amount of credit. (We will know the letter grade by the number you give.)
Grading Scale: A 93-100 / B 85-92 / C 75-84 / D 70-74
Choose 0.5 credit if student completed half of the year’s work. Only choose 1 credit if student completed the entire credit in one semester. If you give 0.5 credits each semester, we will average the two grades together to reach the final grade for that subject.
DO NOT report 0.5 credits first semester and then full credits the second semester as that make it looks as if the student earned 1.5 credits for the year.
DO NOT report any credits smaller than 0.5. Wait until the semester when the student has completed at least half the credit and then report it. Any credits earned during the summer may be turned in separately or included on the 1st semester report.
DUAL ENROLLMENT CREDITS – D1A assigns full credits to a semester of college courses. A letter grade is sufficient for a dual-enrollment credit. To have any subjects designated as dual enrollment on the transcript, D1A must receive adequate documentation from the college showing the completed grade for that subject. Parent or student is responsible for asking the college to send this documentation to D1A.
High school students may earn a maximum of 8 credits per year unless they have prior permission from D1A.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fall semester reports due January 30. Spring semester reports due June 30.
Because of the diversity of home education, many families start on different dates, take time off for holidays and vacations, do some school work even during the summer. We recognize this as one of the major benefits of home education but for recordkeeping purposes here at Daniel 1 it can be a real head-ache. For students in grades K-8 please go ahead and fill out the form for whatever your student has completed so far and turn it in to us. For students working on high school credits, turn it in once the student has completed at least 1/2 credits in his subjects. Any work completed during last summer may be reported as part of the 1st semester. Home schooled children are required to complete a minimum of 180 days in a school year but the number of days per semester can be different from 90 so long as the two semesters add up to at least 180.
The answer to this question depends on the grade level of the child. For Kindergarten through 3rd grade you can choose to give grades mainly based on participation and overall improvement. You can use letters like E, S and G as shown on the report form. For students in grades 4-8, it looks better to use an A, B, C grading scale. You don’t have to report number grades; letter grades are good enough. For high school students or any 7th and 8th graders who are earning high school credits, you must give a number grade and an indication of the amount of credit earned. This makes it easier to average the two semesters together to get a final grade for each subject. There is more explanation on the Semester Report form itself. For even more information on earning high school credits and how to keep high school records, attend one of our Teaching High School workshops or call for an appointment with someone at Daniel 1 to explain it to you. We will be glad to help.
In times past we have seen many problems arise when parents do not ‘get around to it.’ Many students who quit homeschooling and transferred to a public school have had to repeat a grade level since there were no reports in their file. It is also very difficult to create complete high school transcripts to send to colleges if parents did not turn in reports or did not complete them correctly. Therefore, one way we are trying to hold parents responsible is by not allowing your student to re-enroll the next school year unless those grade reports are in the student’s file. We also will not give a driver’s permit letter or work permit unless we have a current semester report on file.
