I make a school calendar and student attendance sheets each year to use in our homeschool, and this year I realized I could share them with all of you.

The sheets today are for the calendar year that starts with August 2016 and runs through July 2017 (just because that is the schedule we follow).
If you would like a different start or end date for the calendar and attendance sheets, just let me know in the comments section below and I will crank it off and post it up here.
Our attendance sheets are designed to minimize fuss and bother, since I am busy enough with my day to actually write down a “present” mark for each of my kids each morning. (If they weren’t “present” my husband would be scouring the neighborhood with a bat and a shovel and I would be down at the local police station calling up the national guard to find them) So I do my attendance sheets backwards – if we miss a day of school, I mark it down as absent. If we do school on a school day, I mark nothing. It is a much easier way of tracking attendance and I only wish I had figured it out those first few years that I dutifully marked “present” for each of my kids every morning.
