How do I turn off the automatic emails like the Daily Digest?
You can control which family members receive the Daily Digest or the Weekly Digest in their profiles. Just click on their picture in the “My Family” bar on the left, and click the “Edit profile” link at the top of the window that appears. On the “Basic Info” tab of the “Manage Family” dialog that appears, there are two check boxes, right below the field for the email address, one for the Daily Digest and one for the Weekly Digest. Checked means that family member will receive that Digest; un-checked means they won’t.
How can I see the full text of my assignments without having to click on the class?
In the Calendar view of your schedule, we try to keep it looking like, well, a calendar. That means we often have to truncate the text of assignments, and it’s why we provide the Planner view. Just click the “Planner” button near the top of the page, and you’ll get a view of your schedule in which all the details are always visible. This will often be the best display to use for printing, and also for your kids to use when they log in on their own.
How To: Display the Weekends
You can control whether or not Saturday and Sunday are displayed on the Calendar or Planner by clicking either of the “S” buttons near the top of the display. The weekends will also print if they are visible when you choose Print from the menu.
You can also control whether the weekends are positioned at the left or right side of the calendar, or even split with Sunday on the left and Saturday on the right. Use the “Settings” menu, and choose “General”. In the Account Settings dialog that appears, change the “Week starts on:” setting:
- Monday – weekends will be on the right
- Saturday – weekends will be on the left
- Sunday – weekends will be split
Choose “Save” at the bottom of the dialog to save your choice.

Note regarding Printing
Getting the layout for printing to be just right on all browsers and operating systems continues to be a challenge. We have completely replaced the system we use for Color Print, which eliminates some of the existing problems, but probably introduces new ones. Please let us know of any printing problems (or any other problem, really) by sending an email to betatest@homeschool-planner.com.
