How Many Students You Can Add

There is no limit. Add every child in your family, and HomeTrail Plus covers all of them for one price.

Updated August 19, 2026

There is no limit on the number of students in a HomeTrail family. Add every child you are teaching, whether that is one or eight.

Add a student

  1. Open Home.
  2. In Your Rhythm, choose Add student. On a phone, choose the dashed Add circle in the student row.
  3. Enter their first name or nickname and the grade they would be in at school.
  4. Choose Add student.

The HomeTrail app works the same way from its Home screen. For full steps, including how to change a student later, see Add or Update a Student in HomeTrail.

What each student gets

Every student you add keeps their own:

  • Grade level and attendance criteria
  • Attendance days, learning sessions, and nature time
  • Progress reports, portfolios, and Journey records

You do not have to duplicate your planning to match. A Rhythm item can apply to everyone, to a few students, or to one, so a read-aloud you do together is recorded once for each child who took part.

Cost

Adding students is included with free HomeTrail accounts, and there is no per-student charge.

HomeTrail Plus is one subscription for your whole family. Upgrading covers every student you have added, and adding another student later does not change the price.
