I keep homeschool planning calendars for reference, appointment keepers or two pages per month calendars and the holiday reference pages on this step.
STEP 2.
Choose Calendar/Appointment Keepers
On this step I keep 2 of the 3 calendars here which I create each year.
You need ALL 3 different types of calendars in your 7 Step Homeschool Planner.
Important Update: All of my forms begin July to June..
- The first set of calendars here on STEP 2 are regular calendars (reference calendars) for reference purposes.
- The second set of calendars here on STEP 2 are the 2 pages per month Appointment Keepers which have bigger boxes for writing dates.
- The third set of calendars are on STEP 5A which are the calendars for planning your school year.
Curriculum Pages for Planner
When finished here on STEP 2, click on the graphic to go to the next STEP 3.
If you print now, remember to print double sided or front/back. There are special instructions for printing the 1 month per 2 page spread Appointment Calendar.
4 Options. Choose one or more!
Option 1A.
Reference Calendar. Academic Year.
Important Note: ALL of my academic calendars begin in July and end in June.
This doesn’t mean you have to school that way or that you begin and end your year then either. It does mean that you can pick up on my forms at anytime you begin your year. Please see my post 7 Step Free Homeschool Planner – Top 5 Questions Asked Are Answered about questions you may have.

Option 2A.
Two-Page Per Month Calendar.
Academic Year.
Purpose: More room For Tracking Important Dates.
I use classical fonts on the calendar. Too, if I am going to use a calendar for the year, I want a calendar that inspires me each day, i.e. I have to have color. If you do not track school weeks, {which is real easy record keeping even for states or countries that don’t require it} then use those areas to either write notes, special events for that month or a to-do list.
Tracking weeks that you are in school is the easiest or the very basics of record keeping. Though I don’t have to do anything here in Texas, I feel it’s important to be accountable because as your children grow and enter high school, it becomes important. So I went ahead and added a box for that because I want to reflect my experience in my forms which helps you to be better organized.
Important All of my forms for the academic calendar begin July and end June. So this is a full 12 year.
July, 2023 to June, 2024 – Two pages Per Month Calendar. Dawn Color.
July, 2023 to June, 2024 – Two pages Per Month Calendar. Orchid Color.
Option 2B.
Two-Page Monthly Calendar. PHYSICAL Year
*Note physical year calendar, and at the top of January, it has a place for noting when you start school and end school.
If you want to read more about how I am using it, you can read my blog post here: Physical Year Calendar –2 Pages Per Month At A Glance
Like my academic 2 page spread calendars, you get a full year with this download too.
You can use this calendar to add to your diy home management binder, my DIY Unit Study Planner or to your 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner.
January, 2024 to December, 2024 – Two Page Monthly Calendar. Two Beaches Color
Option 3.
Long Range Planning.
Purpose: To note future studies, objectives, important dates, purchase of products, upcoming events, etc. Provides a place to check off as done.
*Note: This page can be used on one of your blank pages that you may have if you used the two page monthly calendar spread. This is also a black and white document if you want to not use your color ink.
Another version of long range planning is to plan by the year. This is for you if are a color lover and prefer a two page spread for the year.
Subscriber freebie.
Option 4.
Major U.S. Holidays 5 Year on One Reference Page
Purpose: To help you fill out your calendars and notate holidays you wish to observe or to note for planning purposes.
Two color choices!
5 Years on ONE reference page.
Years 2022 to 2025
*Note: This is not all of the holidays but I have listed major ones. Also, this page can be used on one of the blank pages you may have if you used the two page monthly calendar spread.
Since multiple years are listed in column forms on one page, this is also a great reference tool for long-range planning.
You may want to print one of each color and put at the back and front inside covers for easy reference.

Hey girl,
They were already out in December on my blog posts..lol but I didn’t bring them over here to my page. So, thanks for giving me the heads up. I always release them first on my blog, then bring them here. Thanks again for letting me know. They’re here now.♥♥
Penny says
When does the calendar usually get updated for the next year? We school from June to May as well, and I’m trying to get a little more organized than last year! 😉
Tina Robertson says
Hey Penny,
Glad to have you you… I only did a trial run last year for forms going from June to May.
For most of the time all 3 types of my calendars were prepared July to June. I took a poll on my site and a majority had still wanted to keep the July to June rotation. My calendars are all updated now with the July to June rotation. I hope you’ll be able to use them since you still get all 12 months for any of my forms…♥
