Recurring Activities/ Copying Weeks

At this time, HomeTrail does not support recurring activities in the traditional sense. Instead of setting a lesson to repeat automatically each week, we offer the ability to copy full weeks.

Weekly Planning Made Simple with HomeTrail’s “Copy Week” Feature

At HomeTrail, we believe flexibility is key to successful homeschooling. That’s why our platform is built around weekly planning, rather than rigid, long-term schedules. While we don’t currently support recurring activities in the traditional sense, we’ve built an intuitive feature to make your week-to-week planning fast and seamless using the “Copy Week” button.

Why Weekly Planning?

Every homeschooling family is different. Children progress at their own pace, and unexpected life events can shift your plans. HomeTrail encourages taking things one week at a time, allowing you to reflect, adjust, and stay responsive to your child’s learning needs.

How “Copy Week” Works

Instead of setting up recurring activities that may not always align with your real-life week, HomeTrail’s Copy Week feature gives you control and speed. With just one click, you can duplicate an entire week’s worth of planned activities into a new week, then make any edits needed.

Where to Find It:

Go to the Planner in the web version of HomeTrail
Navigate to the week you want to copy
Click the “Copy Week” button at the top
Choose the target week you want to copy the activities to
Review and adjust as needed

Use Cases:

Want to reuse a well-balanced weekly schedule? Copy it forward!
Have recurring subjects like math or language arts each day? Copy your base week and tweak the details.
Taking a break but want to keep the same rhythm when you return? Just duplicate the last full week.

This feature provides the efficiency of recurrence without locking you into a rigid pattern. It’s perfect for homeschooling parents who want structure, but also flexibility.

We’re always looking to improve, so if recurring activities are important to your homeschool flow, let us know! For now, give the Copy Week tool a try and see how it can simplify your weekly planning.
