The Day Page in HomeTrail

The Day Page is one of the most important parts of HomeTrail. It is your daily homeschool dashboard and a place where everything for a specific day comes together in one clear view.

Whether you are planning ahead, logging learning afterward, or capturing spontaneous moments, the Day Page helps you stay organized without overcomplicating your routine.

What Is the Day Page?

The Day Page is a daily snapshot of your homeschool life. It shows what happened (or what is planned) on a specific date, including:

• Completed sessions and activities

• Custom Curriculum items to check off

• Attendance tracking

• Journal entries and reflections

• Spontaneous learning moments

Think of it as your homeschool daily record.

📍 How to Access the Day Page

You can open the Day Page from:

The Day Tab on both the App and Website

✅ What You Can Do on the Day Page

1. Check Off Custom Curriculum Items

At the bottom of the Day Page, you will find your student’s Custom Curriculum list.

From here, you can:

• Mark curriculum items as complete

• Add session details like duration or notes

This makes the Day Page a powerful tool for daily curriculum tracking.

2. Add or View Learning Sessions

Sessions represent the actual learning that took place, such as books read, lessons completed, field trips, art projects, and more.

On the Day Page you can:

• Add a new session

• View completed sessions

• Edit session details later

• Track optional duration and subject data for reporting

3. Mark Attendance for the Day

Attendance can be logged directly from the Day Page.

If attendance tracking is enabled, you can:

• Mark the student as attended

• Ensure your homeschool days are recorded for state requirements

• Back-fill attendance later through the web Planner if needed

4. Add a Journal Entry or Reflection

The Day Page also supports journaling.

You can use it to record:

• Daily highlights

• Challenges or breakthroughs

• Notes about behavior, motivation, or progress

• Memories you want to preserve

Journal entries help tell the story behind the data.

5. Capture Spontaneous Learning

Not all learning is planned, and HomeTrail is built for that.

The Day Page is a great place to log moments like:

• Baking together

• Nature walks

• Museum trips

• Board games

• Life skills and real-world learning

Spontaneous learning counts, and the Day Page helps you capture it easily.

Why the Day Page Matters

The Day Page is where planning and real life meet.

It helps you:

• Stay consistent without rigid schedules

• Keep daily records in one place

• Build meaningful documentation over time

• Track both structure and spontaneity

• Reflect on progress beyond checklists

Homeschooling is made up of days, not just semesters, and the Day Page is where those days come to life.
