Planning, Tracking & Daily Use

Really want to start all over fresh but can’t figure out how? HomeTrail has no single reset or erase button. Use these steps to clear your Rhythm, delete activities, remove a student, and build your new plan.

Planning, Tracking & Daily Use

Edit a Rhythm activity per day with its own notes and lesson number, skip a day, rearrange the order of your Rhythm, and print your Rhythm on a calendar.

Planning, Tracking & Daily Use

Edit or delete a planned or recorded activity, remove a duplicate, and archive old activities without losing their learning records.

Tracking Progress & Reporting

Update a student’s grade from Home, keep earlier attendance and learning records, and look back at last year.

Planning, Tracking & Daily Use

Change the subjects your family uses: add a new subject, rename or delete one, and change the subject on a Rhythm activity or a single activity.

HomeTrail Plus

Kids do not have separate logins, so there is no student login to create. Sign in to the Nest app on your child’s device with your own HomeTrail email and password, and your child picks their name to see their own day. Children check off their work, but you manage their schedule.

FAQs

The HomeTrail app and website do not integrate or sync with other platforms like Google Calendar, IXL, or Google Drive. Here is what to do instead with your calendars, IXL lessons, and photos.
