How to choose what families see from your lesson plans

  1. 1Click Classes in the Learning section of the sidebar and open your class
  2. 2Scroll to the Lesson planner card
  3. 3Under "Families see", pick a level: "Nothing — plans stay private", "This week's topics (titles only)", "Full plans (published weeks)", or "Home-day plans only (published weeks)" — it saves the moment you pick it
  4. 4Topics shows a "What we're learning this week" card in the family portal — titles only, never your notes
  5. 5The published-week levels share family-facing sections, checklists, attachments, and photos on the family's This Week page — "Home-day plans only" keeps campus-day plans completely private
  6. 6Whatever you pick, drafts, staff-only sections, and differentiation groups never appear on the portal
  7. 7If your school sets one answer for every class (an admin chooses it in Settings → Planner & families), the dropdown is locked and says so

Part of Lesson planning & Home Days
