If you have work that your students need to complete at some point over the course of the week, but at their discretion and not on any specific day, you can set that up this way. First, create a class or activity called “Weekly Work” (or whatever name works best for you), scheduled for every day of the week. Then add the things that need to be done each week as assignments on the first day of that week. Each day, use the Rescheduling Helper to carry forward any that don’t get marked complete.

If you have a task that must be completed 2 or 3 times a week, simply enter that task more than once on the first day of the week.  For example, if you want your child to practice piano 3 times a week, you might put “Practice Piano (1)”, “Practice Piano (2)”, and “Practice Piano (3)” as separate assignments on Mondays.

With Homeschool Planet, you are free to use any grading scale you want with each individual assignment. When you set up grading for a class, you select all of the grading categories that you will use in the class (such as Homework, Tests, etc.) and give a weight for each of them. These weights are used only to calculate a total grade for the class (for example, 30% Homework and 70% Tests). Regardless of what values you enter there, you can still grade each individual assignment using your choice of a percentage, a letter grade, or a fraction (like 18 out of 20).
