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 1B.
Reference Calendar. Physical Year.

Option 2A.
Two-Page Per Month Calendar.
Academic Year. 12 months

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.

Academic Year 2026 to 2027

Important All of my forms for the academic calendar begin July and end June. So this is a full 12 months.

Since multiple years are listed in column forms on one page, this is also a great reference tool for long-range planning.
