How to plan a home day with a family checklist

  1. 1In the Planner, click "Add" in a class cell, or "Add home-day plan" on a day the class doesn't meet.
  2. 2Under "Where it happens", a non-meeting day starts on Home Day; on a meeting day click "Home Day" instead of "Campus".
  3. 3Type a title and write the plan addressed to the co-teaching parent.
  4. 4In "Family checklist", click "Add item" and enter the task, minutes, materials, and an optional link.
  5. 5Set each item to "Parent checks" or "Teacher grades".
  6. 6Check "Ready to teach" and click "Add lesson".
  7. 7On the week, click "More", then "Publish to families"; the dialog counts the families it will email, and publishing cannot be undone. "Family view" shows the plan as a family reads it.
