This year I redesigned our student planners and got rid of the color options.

Not only will this save you money on ink but it gives kids the opportunity to style their planners in the colors they prefer as you will see below.

I also created a student deluxe version for those of you who prefer to have dated pages, record-keeping pages, resource pages that cover a range of subjects, and more.

To learn more scroll down and check these out. {please read the latest update below}

Also, continue scrolling down to find some tips for printing out your planner and other best practices to follow as you put this planner together for your kid(s).

As I said, our planners come in two different designs.

One has a circuit board design and the other has flowers.

As of right now, all my planners come in standard size: 8陆” x 11″ (21.59 cm x 27.94 cm).

The free student planners have 11 pages:

Feel free to print both design versions for your own household as many times as you like.

Teachers: Please provide parents with this post’s web address so that they can download these printables if you require them for your students.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected].

If you are looking for a more functional planner, then check out our student planner deluxe and all that comes with it.

The Student Planner Deluxe comes with 197 pages and includes all the following:

Phew! That’s about all that I have right about now. I’m hoping to add more pages.

If you’d like to see a certain page in this planner, please let me know in the comments below.

If I add your suggestion, I will send you a free copy of next year’s planner.

Below is a list of items that will help you put your student’s binder together.

If you homeschool you probably already have some of these.

Some of the items are optional but will help put you put your planners together faster and easier:

Before printing your pages, I suggest going through each page first.

Decide on which pages you’d like to print multiple times such as the note-taking pages.

Next, look for pages you’d like to pair up so that you can print these back to back and save on paper.

For pages that may get some wear as the year goes by as well as the resource pages that they will use often, I suggest doing one of the following:

For the stickers, you can use sticker paper or you can simply have your child color the markers, cut them out, and just glue them into their planner.

Also, when printing your planner make sure your printer settings are set to “actual” size.

This will optimize your pages.

If you use the other settings, it tends to shrink the pages by adding wider margins.

If you prefer to use the bookmarks at the end of the planners, you’ll want to print them on separate pages.

I suggest printing them on cardstock, having them laminated, or using reinforcement labels so that they don’t tear out.

In the pics below, I cut out the name portion of the bookmarks so that it could stick out even more.

I also made sure to hole punch each bookmark at least 2 inches above where the hole punch normally would go.

I suggest marking the holes first before hole punching just to make sure they stick out above the pages.

Prefer to use index tabs? I get it. Below I used index tabs on the top and side.

For the free version, you will want to pair up the first monthly spread page with either the graph paper or the oodles of doodles page.

You’ll also want to do the same for the second weekly page of the last week of the month.

Since your pages are dated, you don’t have to worry about making multiples of those pages.

However, you may want to make multiple pages of the reading log, grade recorder, note-taking sheet, and brain dump pages as needed.

Again, go through the pages and see if you really need to print every page.

Some may be too advanced for your student’s grade level and others may be too basic.

Naturally, most of the sheets are self-explanatory, but I want to share with you different ways you can use your sheets as well as some best practices.

Each day on the weekly sheet has a small column to the left and an even smaller column to the right. You can use the left boxes to enter the hour of the day or to just number each activity.

Use the right column for symbols such as a checkmark for those activities that are completed and an X for those that are not finished.

Kids can use this sheet for notes, calculations, and doodling. I personally like using the graph page to help keep numbers straight when calculating math problems.

We use colored highlighters on our attendance recorder.

Yellow for holidays, green for school days, pink for weekends, etc.

If your student is not homeschooled, then please be careful when filling out the web resources page.

Instead of entering the actual password, I would fill in a hint for that password.

This way, if they misplace their planner, then you don’t have to worry about someone getting a hold of their internet information.

I created my version of the Cornell note-taking system that we use in our homeschool.

To learn more about this system if you are unfamiliar with it and so that you can apply it to the note-taking page, check out the video below.

Don’t forget to fill out the form at the end of this post to get your free version.

No matter which planner you get, please go through the pages first to see how best to put it together.

You may or may not need every page saving you both paper and ink.

I hope that your student(s) find their planners helpful as they get through this school year.
