Homework planner

A one-week grid for school. Subjects run down the left side, the school days run across, and a small table below holds upcoming tests, quizzes and projects. You can type your own subjects and add a weekend column.

What prints

The heading says Homework Planner. Two lines below it are labeled Name and Week of. The main grid has a Subject column and then one column each for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Each cell is tall enough for a couple of lines of handwriting. If you switch on the weekend, a sixth column labeled Weekend is added.

Below the grid is a small table titled Tests, quizzes and projects coming up, with columns Date, Subject and What, and four empty rows. At the bottom, if there is room, a Reminders box with ruled space is printed.

The settings

  • Heading. Up to 40 characters.
  • Planner. Choose "Weekly homework planner". The other choice is the assignment tracker, a running list.
  • Subjects (one per line). Up to 200 characters and 8 lines. Leave it blank and the rows are Math, Reading, Writing, Science, Social studies and Other.
  • Include the weekend. A toggle that adds the Weekend column.
  • Rows applies to the list version only.

Setting it up

Take two minutes on Sunday evening or Monday morning. Type your real class list into the subjects box so the first column matches your schedule: for a middle schooler that might be English, Algebra, Biology, World History, Spanish and Art. With eight lines you can include electives.

During the week, write homework in the cell where the subject and the due day meet. Some students record it on the day it is assigned, others on the day it is due. Either works if you stay consistent. When it is finished, draw a check or a line through it. Leave the cells for days with no homework blank, which makes the heavy nights visible.

Fill the test table as dates become known, and copy items to the next week's page if a project spans more than one. Understood.org, linked above, offers practical ideas on time management for students, and the Department of Education site collects resources for families.

Worked example: a Monday setup

A sixth grader types five subjects: Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Spanish. The weekend toggle is off. On "Week of Nov 4" the cells fill in like this. Monday under Math: "p. 88, 1 to 15". Monday under English: "Journal entry". Tuesday under Science: "Finish lab sheet". Wednesday under Spanish: "Study 20 vocab words". Thursday under Social Studies: "Map worksheet".

In the table, the student writes: Nov 8, Spanish, vocabulary quiz; Nov 14, Science, ecosystem poster due. On Wednesday evening the grid shows two items on one night and none on the next, so the student starts the poster on the lighter night instead of waiting.

Tips for families

Review the sheet together once a week without grading it. Ask which night is heaviest and what could start earlier. Younger children may need an adult to read back what is written in each cell, while older students usually prefer to manage it alone.

Use the assignment tracker for a running list with grades. The weekly planner covers after-school activities, and the reading log takes care of nightly reading.
