Nest is the student-facing HomeTrail experience for Plus families. Students see only the learning and messages intended for them.
In Nest, students can:
- Open daily learning cards and generated packs
- Read Trail Mail from a parent
- See student-facing planned activities
- Mark cards as viewed, complete, or skipped when supported
- Open interactive activities and printable resources
Turn on Nest access
- Open Plus Hub → Nest.
- Review the child-facing data notice and choose I understand, enable Nest.
- Choose Set Parental PIN. The PIN protects settings, logout, external links, and Grown-up Guides; students do not normally use it to sign in.
- In Trailhead, use Student App Access to choose which students may use Nest.
- Install Nest from the App Store or Google Play, then follow the displayed family sign-in instructions.
Parents control access separately for each student. Turning off access removes that student's ability to enter Nest without deleting the family's HomeTrail records.
Student Skip is not the same as a parent removing a generated card. Use the parent pack controls for available management actions.
How Nest work appears in learning records
HomeTrail saves a generated pack to Nest immediately, but it does not count that pack as completed learning yet. The pack becomes eligible to appear in Journey, Journey exports, and Progress, Grade, and Year-End Reports only after the student finishes it in Nest or a parent marks it complete. A Grade Report also requires a recorded grade.
Unopened, unfinished, and skipped packs stay out of those completed-learning records. When a pack is completed, HomeTrail records it on its completion date. In Year-End Report options, use Nest Packs to include or exclude completed packs.
Masterpieces saved from Nest are completed learning records and can also appear in Journey and reports.
