Records you must keep
none required.
Testing / evaluation
none.
Parent qualifications
none.
Where Letters & Devotion fits in Alaska
Whatever Alaska asks you to keep, keeping it should not be a job. Letters & Devotion logs instructional hours automatically while your child works, tracks mastery per skill as a ready-made portfolio record, and prints a transcript in one click, so notices, portfolios and evaluations start from records that already exist. The curriculum itself covers every core subject, K through 12.

HSLDA also publishes a plain-language summary of Alaska's law, at hslda.org/legal/alaska, and sells a paid legal-defense membership built on top of it. It is an advocacy organization, not a legal authority: its leadership is explicitly Christian, and it lobbies on homeschool legislation, positions a family may or may not share.
