There are many ways of keeping track of your homeschool. I have tried several methods, and still prefer using a 3-ring binder and a pen. Others prefer to use an online homeschooling planner, like Homeschool Skedtrack.
Homeschool Skedtrack is a schedule creator and tracker, especially useful for homeschooling teachers and private tutors. It has been on the internet for a long time and has been used by many of our readers over the years.
Here is a description from the site owners:

Awesome find, thank you, it’s on my to do list to check out tomorrow!
How cool! Thanks!
Looks pretty easy. Sign me up.
this looks interesting going to check it out:)
I tried to register, but it says it won’t allow my E-MAIL address and to try another. Well, I don’t HAVE another 🙁 That’s ridiculous.
Hi, Becky…I’ll look for a contact email and ask them to help you. Thanks for the feedback. Has anyone else had problems?
Hi BeckyT,
Please send us an email thru the Contact Us link on our webpage and we will help you.
Kind regards.
That's awesome! Thank you for offering to help her (and whoever has problems!) and for being so quick about it.
p.s. to everyone, I didn't get around to emailing HomeschoolSkedTrack yet…they must be on top of things over there!
LOVE the SkedTracker. I have next year all lined out and ready to go. Best feature – it moves items to the next day if you don’t get them done!
Be sure to check the import feature – lots of curriculum are already there and just need to be tweaked!
Thank you taking the time to let us know what you think!

I started using this for the first time this summer and I LOVE it! The set up is time consuming, but well worth it. (Watch the videos-it does help!) No more Sunday night panic-planning and my son (12) also likes that he can see his schedule, including field trips, in advance. I like that if we don’t finish something it automatically shifts everything back a day. Printing out the completed activities is also a lot neater to keep for my records, instead of the annual notebooks I normally keep.
Thank you so much for that review, Pam. I should probably dust off my account and give it a try again!
I’ve used it for 3 years and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Awesome!
I just started using this and love it also!
Does it come with a human to keep me on track? 😉
