What Oregon actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.

The ESD, and only if it asks for scores.
Within 10 days of withdrawing from public or private school
Goes to: Local Education Service District
One notice; not annual.
No later than 15 August of the relevant year
How often: at those grades
Goes to: KEPT BY THE PARENT, submitted only if the ESD requests it
Administered by a qualified neutral tester (a licensed teacher, a psychological examiner, or someone qualified to buy the test from the publisher). Testing begins 18 months after notification; if the child passes through a testing grade inside that window, it waits for the next one. The parent pays.
Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.
That is what this app is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the real curriculum for Oregon and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
