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 Answeredabout 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.
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.

Hi ~ LOVE this planner. I used it last year too!!! 🙂 My question is, last year the one month in two page spread calendar when all the way through the whole year (Jan. – Dec) of each year and I LOVE that…this year it only when through June 🙁 Are you going to be adding July-Dec by any chance??? Pleeeease 😉
Thank you…great work otherwise!!!
It is an academic school year so it starts with July and goes through to June. July through December is included in that calendar so you have a whole 12 months.
I am not adding the yearly from Jan to Dec as of now, but maybe plans for later will allow me.

Do you have the long range planning calendar for 2013?
Janadean I am not sure I understand your question.
The long range planning page is undated. Did you mean something else? :o)
Hi! I LOVE your planner pages, thank you so much for offering this! I was wondering if you still had a holiday page including 2013?
Hey Kristin,
I normally take them down but have them sometimes stored on my server at my website and for you, I found it:

There you go and enjoy! Thank you for being here and you are so welcome!![My Profile](https://tinasdynamichomeschoolplus.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
