Homeschool Planner

Keep your homeschool year organized in one simple spreadsheet. The Homeschool Planner & Attendance Tracker gives you one place for attendance, hours by subject, lessons and grades for up to 4 students. Mark attendance each day, log hours by subject, and track assignments. Each child's dashboard shows how many days they've attended toward your goal, how their subject hours compare with your weekly targets, and their average grade. WHAT'S INCLUDED • Student dashboard: pick a child to see days attended, days to go, attendance rate, total hours, lessons done, average grade and overdue lessons, plus a days-attended progress bar, hours by subject vs. target (with progress bars and an on-pace check), average grade by subject, and an hours-by-month chart • Attendance log: 200 day rows (a 180-day year plus room for make-up days) with date, day number and a status for each student: P present, F field trip / co-op, A absent, S sick. Daily hours fill in from the Hours Log • Hours log: one row per student per day, with hours for up to 12 subjects and notes on what you did • Lessons & assignments (400 rows): student, subject, assigned and due dates, status, score, % and letter grade.
