Homeschool High School: Grades

Worried about homeschooling a high schooler? Let me decrease your stress and increase your confidence in this 3 part series on homeschooling high school. This last video in the Homeschool High School series covers grading. You are going to need some grades to put on that high school transcript!
Make sure to watch all the videos in the series and check out all the helpful resources listed below.

[@rachel4687]

Thank you so much for breaking grading down! I am one of those who has had major anxiety about how to grade my son's high school work and didn't know where to start. This video helps tremendously!

[@adriennebal5450]

I know this is an old video but this was so helpful even how you paced it for those that need a more detailed explanation, thank you very much.

[@JanelleKnutson]

I’m glad it was helpful to you! 😊

[@KayeMaria]

This was amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! I feel like a huge weight was just lifted off of my shoulders. My son is starting his 2nd year of high school and this past school year was kind of chaotic. Thank you Janelle for sharing your homeschool wisdom.

[@JanelleKnutson]

I am so happy to hear that these videos helped you! Enjoy the high school years!

[@LillyReads450]

I am so glad you explained it in a very detailed way because I’ve tried to understand this several times, but this was the first time I got it. Thank you very much!

[@karendeweerd8146]

I appreciate your thorough explanations! Thank you for sharing what you have learned.

[@ashleybruce8014]

So thankful for this video and the resources on your site!

[@JanelleKnutson]

Glad they have helped you in your homeschool journey.

[@KS-xd5qu]

Thank you so much!!! Your video completely eased my mind. I had no clue how the grading system worked, and no other video explains it as well as you do! Thank you for taking the time to teach us beginners!!

[@breanne2117]

This is exactly the video I needed for figuring out grading and portfolios. I have my first high schooler next year and I want our portfolios to be on point starting this year. I just picked up your form pack, which is saving me hours of time. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of this element of homeschooling. I was scared and overwhelmed. Now I can breathe a deep sigh of relief and get to work. May God bless you in your endeavors. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@JanelleKnutson]

Yay! So glad it helped.

[@mamabenzing5872]

I'm just so blessed finding you on KZbin!! I've learned so much from all of your videos. When you feel like this KZbin job is not your calling, know that it has helped and blessed so many homeschoolers and please keep the videos coming. I'd seriously would watch you watch paint dry if I knew I would learn something from it. 💖

[@JanelleKnutson]

Homeschool Mama of 12 thank you for the words of encouragement. 💕

[@mountainmamashome]

This is SO helpful. I purchased your high school sheets pack. Thank you so much for sharing all of this information.

[@latina200111]

Thank you so much for this video!! You did such a great job explaining how to do grades!! Thank you again it was such a blessing to finally find a video that explained in such great detail!!

[@jenniferbonutti2158]

Thank you SO much for this video series. It is so very informative. I have one son in 10th grade I want to pull from public school and one in 8th grade that will be in high school next year. Every bit of information is great!

[@homeschoolmomof2707]

Thank you for these videos! My son will be in high school next year and I want to be ready and not stressed! Thanks! :-)

[@glendaverrett439]

Thank so much for explaining this in a very simple way for me to understand! I’ve been stressing over figuring weighted grades and now I can breathe.

[@JanelleKnutson]

Glenda Verrett yay! That’s what I was hoping for. That I could explain it well enough to take the stress out of homeschooling high school.

[@toniagermany6422]

Such a helpful video series! Thank you so much, this is a life saver along with your homeschool worksheet packet I just purchased!

[@JanelleKnutson]

You are so welcome! I hope your homeschool high school journey is filled with wonderful memories and less stress. :)

[@lisagriffin3739]

This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@JanelleKnutson]

You are so welcome!

[@jadejones6512]

Good day I truly appreciate all the information you have provided. I have also been searching and inquiring information about grading, transcripts etc. Somehow when I signed out of KZbin and went on as a guest your channel popped up on the guest feed. I am so excited for the 2020/2021 homeschool year for my three younger children. Respectful Thanks, Jade Jones

[@JanelleKnutson]

So glad you found my channel! I hope you have a wonderful homeschool year.

[@jadejones6512]

@@JanelleKnutson Thank you again. It had to be God who led me. God bless and Chow for now

[@tammy2143]

Janelle, thank you so much for doing this video. I have an upcoming 9th grader. This so just what I needed!

[@JanelleKnutson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindamsmith3302]

i needed a new job which i was asked to bring my high school diploma and transcript which got me stressed out until i got mine from someone my sister told about and thats DEELSCAFE💯..

[@laudelininfante3735]

Excellent thanks… Can you make a video on grading middle schoolers with 4 quarter criteria or can we use the same principles that you explain for High schoolers ?? Thanks

[@JanelleKnutson]

Use the same principles for middle schoolers. Middle school is a great time to "practice" with grading and record keeping before your child gets to the high school years.

[@vzero_snexfur885]

Hi thanks for video my son is in 9th grade .He did home schooling can you please recommend me a home school online thankyou

[@barbaraoldrati5987]

I am so happy I found your channel. You are wonderful! My daughter does all her courses through FLVS in florida except math. We just started Math U See Algebra 2. I saw in this video how you did weighted grades. Are the 5 points for assignments 5 points for one chapter or 5 points for everyday your student does problems? Also the quizs are 15 problems so I guess you grade a point each? For tests do you take the amount of problems and divide by 100 to get the grade?

[@JanelleKnutson]

I give 5 points each day towards participation for watching the instruction and/or doing worksheets.

[@carmenoliver8147]

This is so helpful but I have a questions. Do you use these grade sheets when using BJU DLO? Thank you for sharing.

[@JanelleKnutson]

Carmen Oliver I prefer pencil and paper so I will be using them with BJU DL but you don’t need to. BJU has it set up so nice for those who want less paper. 😊

[@nancyhansen7103]

My son is leaving the brick and mortar and is a sophomore. He also has an IEP and at an 8th grade level. How would I apply a grade(s) to his work?

[@JanelleKnutson]

I would think the person working with you on the IEP would know how to handle that. Another great resource is HSLDA. If you are a member then you can talk with one of their consultants. I believe they have a special education consultant and high school consultants, all of which are a great help!

[@KS-xd5qu]

Thank you so much!!! Your video completely eased my mind. I had no clue how the grading system worked, and no other video explains it as well as you do! Thank you for taking the time to teach us beginners!!
