Homeschool Trellis
A planner for homeschool families

Give your homeschool something sturdy to climb.

A trellis doesn't make the garden grow — it holds things up so growing is all that's left to do. Trellis plans your whole school year, runs each day from one calendar, and turns every checked-off lesson into the records you'll need later.

The Trellis week calendar: three children's assignments across a school week, most marked Done with completion times, today highlighted.
1
Plan the year
Import any curriculum and spread it across your school months — in an evening.
2
Run the day
One calendar for every kid. Drag things when life happens. Kids check off their own work.
3
Prove it happened
Hours, grades, and learning logs build themselves from the work your kids finish.
1 · Plan the year

A year of lessons in an evening, not a weekend of data entry.

Start from whatever you already have — Trellis turns it into a full year of scheduled work, spaced around your breaks and co-op days.

  • "Saxon Math has 120 lessons" is enough — paste a lesson count or table of contents
  • Chapters and units become a task plan for the whole year
  • Already in a spreadsheet? Paste the rows or upload a CSV
  • Lessons skip your planned time off automatically
  • Imported the wrong thing? One-click undo
homeschooltrellis.com/assignments/import
The Import Your Curriculum page with three starting points: a lesson count or table of contents, chapters or units to plan, or a spreadsheet of assignments.
2 · Run the day

One calendar for the whole family.

Day, week, and month views of every child's work, color-coded by kid and subject. When the week goes sideways, drag the pieces to where they belong.

  • Drag and drop to reschedule; drag edges to stretch multi-day work
  • Catch Up re-spreads overdue work onto coming school days
  • Mark work complete — or unmark it — right from the calendar
  • Field trips, co-op days, and time off live on the same calendar
  • A phone view for checking the day from the kitchen

The month calendar filled with color-coded assignment cards for three children, most marked Done, two stretched across multiple days, with a side panel for curriculum still waiting to be scheduled.
Kids own their day

Each child gets a login, a list, and a satisfying check-off.

No grades, no clutter, no parent controls — just "here's your day." Kids see today's work on any tablet or computer, mark it done, and watch their streak grow.

  • A simple tablet-friendly list of today's assignments
  • Streaks and a small celebration when the day is finished
  • Built-in timers for "20 minutes of math" tasks
  • Age-appropriate celebration styles — garden, sparks, or calm
  • Kids see their own records: books read, work finished, days done

A child's view of Today's Assignments: 3 of 4 complete, a 12-days-in-a-row streak, and a big Mark Complete button on the next task.
3 · Prove it happened

The record-keeping does itself.

Every checked-off lesson becomes a learning-log entry with hours by subject. When you need to show your year — to the state, a co-op, or a future transcript — it's already written.

  • Learning log builds automatically from completed work
  • Field trips log once for every child who came along
  • A reading log that converts pages into estimated hours
  • Gradebook with per-subject averages and a printable report card
  • Year-at-a-glance view, ready to print for your records
homeschooltrellis.com/learning-log
The Learning Log grouped by subject, including a museum field trip logged for all three children at once.

The Gradebook overview: an overall average, per-subject grade cards, and a customizable grading scale.
