Ohio hours or days context

At least 900 hours of home education each school year.

Records to update during the week

Keep a copy of your annual notification and the superintendent’s acknowledgment. Families also commonly keep attendance records, work samples, and transcripts even though routine submission is no longer required.

Testing or evaluation reminder

No statewide testing, portfolio review, or assessment submission is required under Ohio’s main homeschool statute.

Parent sanity rule

Start smaller than you think. A consistent two-hour routine that actually happens beats an ideal six-hour schedule that burns everyone out.
