Transcripts

So, it has come to my attention that my son will need an amazing high school transcript if he wants to go to a good college. I found a wonderful gradebook program that puts everything into a transcript form that works great for yearly reviews and will be great for college applications. It was free, which makes it all the better!! It's called Gradebook + and I found it on FiveJs.com , a site with a ton of free homeschool resources. These are the features as listed on the site:

• Summary Overview: lists credits and current grades in all courses as well as overall grade (according to weight and credits); includes customizable grading scale
• Attendance Record: not year-specific, so it does not have to be altered from year to year
• Course Sheets: up to 12 courses; includes space for up to five different types of grades (daily, quizzes, tests, etc.); includes an area to record a course description and a listing of all curriculum/resources used in each course
• Reading Book List: printable record of all books read throughout the year
• Extra-Curricular Activities Record: printable record of all extra activities
• Field Trip List: printable record of all field trips
• Grade Report: automatically generated final report card, formatted for printing
• Course List: lists all courses, course descriptions, and curriculum/resources used; automatically generated from the Course sheets
• Detailed directions about how to use the spreadsheet template
