Our state doesn't require any kind of record keeping or proof of homeschooling. For my own peace of mind, however, I have kept the lessons plans on which I mark off every single thing we accomplish in a day. I didn't keep any grades until high school nor did we do any assessments so I felt like that was my only proof should it be called into question. For high school, HSLDA had me document one year (for good student discount insurance purposes) the scope of each subject which I thought was a good idea. One of my friends had to include that info for her child when he transferred to a public high school so they could determine his level. Of course I kept official ACT scores and the official transcript plus transcripts from concurrent classes at the community college. In full disclosure, I have kept probably most of the work my children have done during homeschooling in boxes in the garage, but I definitely don't think it is necessary at all and in all likelihood will toss quite a bit of it except for some special things.
