Homeschools are required to take and maintain annual attendance. The law does not mandate that a particular form be used for student attendance recordkeeping however the NC DNPE does provide a standardized attendance form and encourages each school to use this form. 
Testing
Homeschool students are required in the state of North Carolina to take a standardized test annually. The NC DNPE handbook further explains the legal requirement. Triangle Education Assessments (TEA) is a local (Apex, NC) business that provides K-12 academic achievement tests to homeschoolers across the country. They also specialize in cognitive and career assessment as well. They are very informative and helpful. If you have any questions or concerns about testing, you can contact them at (919) 387-7004.
