Keep the records
What the state wants on file, and where each one lives.
1. Day log (your choice)
2. Progress records and work samples
3. Copy of your note to the school (if you send one)
4. Shot record or exemption form
One page that shows what you did, in case anyone ever asks. It fills in from your ticks.
This is a summary of public law, not legal advice. Requirements change, so always confirm with your state before you file.
