Online Reporting If registered and paid before March 2, 2018
One step in the process is to setup / update your HOMESCHOOL REPORTING ONLINE (HSRO) account . We understand it is extremely easy to put off mundane tasks such as this when exciting learning activities beckon your participation but please strive to setup / update your account within a week or two of enrollment. If you enroll after July 1 please use your enrollment date or a later date as the beginning /start date for your school year. ( i.e. do not use a date prior to your enrollment date as your beginning /start date.)
Returning Family
Please login to HSRO, click edit family info at the top of the page and from the drop-down menu select THE FARM SCHOOL’S SATELLITE CAMPUSES PROGRAM as your school and then update Umbrella / Cover Account #: with your 2017/2018 family ID#. (Family ID # is found in your Parent Dashboard).
If you are a new family, then your next step is to create your online account to track attendance and grades. We use Homeschool Reporting Online (HSRO) to house this information. Please create your HSRO account as soon as possible (instructions below). After you create your account with HSRO, they will email your username & password to you, then the program office will be notified to activate your account. Once activated, you will receive an email from the program office, and you can begin tracking attendance starting with the enrollment date in your confirmation email.

Attendance & Progress/Grade Reports
During any one school year, the attendance requirement is at least 180 days. On HSRO, you may use either a semester or quarter system (but not both). The 2016/2017 school year should not begin BEFORE July 1, 2016 or your child(ren)’s enrollment date in our program. The 2016/2017 school year must end on or before June 30, 2017. You may count holidays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Please do not use the Shortcut: t0 pre-fill all weekday boxes with a “Y” (which means “Attended”). You may use it to post-fill (at the end of your school year) but do not use it pre-fill.
Below is an example for the 2016/2017 school year. For the 2017/2018 school year, use the same month and day but change the year to 2017 or 2018.
