What a few states ask for, and how the year is counted for each.
| State | What the law asks | How we count it |
|---|---|---|
| Pennsylvania | 180 days, or 900 hours (elementary) or 990 hours (secondary). A portfolio with a log that names reading materials by title, work samples and test results in grades 3, 5 and 8, reviewed by an evaluator each year. | Days and hours; the grade picks 900 or 990. |
| New York | 900 hours in grades 1 to 6 and 990 in grades 7 to 12, attendance for the equivalent of 180 days, and a quarterly report of hours and material covered in each subject. | Hours for the grade, and days. |
| Missouri | 1,000 hours a year, 600 of them in reading, language arts, math, social studies and science (400 of those at your regular homeschool location). | Hours, and hours in the core subjects. |
| Georgia | The equivalent of 180 school days a year, each at least 4.5 hours, and a yearly progress report. Georgia no longer collects attendance reports, so your own record shows the days. | School days of 4.5 hours or more. |
| Ohio | No hours requirement since October 2023. You notify your district each year. | Days and hours for your own records. |
| Any other state | Pick 180 school days, set your own days and hours, or simply count. | Whatever target you choose. |

What homeschool parents ask us
Does this replace my state’s forms?
No. It keeps the daily log, hours and work samples many states ask you to keep, and prints them in one record. File what your state or district asks for, like a notice of intent or a quarterly report, the way they ask.
Can I use it for all my children?
Yes. The Family plan ($29.99 a year) covers up to 6 children on one account, and every child gets their own year record. Plus ($9.99 a year) covers one child. During your first 30 days everything is included.
What grades does it work for?
Any grade, from kindergarten to 12th. Add the graduation year so the right hours apply in Pennsylvania and New York.
Are the state rules up to date?
They summarize each state’s homeschool law as of November 2026. Laws change and districts differ, so check your state’s current rules. HSLDA keeps a guide for every state.
Is there a phone app?
Yes. My Award Tracker installs from the browser on iPhone and Android and opens like an app from the home screen. App Store and Google Play versions are on our list.
