The Homeschool Lesson Planner is a type of V Planner. This planner manages lesson plans but it does not manage grades. If you do not keep grade records or if you use something else for grade records, then this is the right V Planner for you. Without the grade system, the Homeschool Lesson Planner is the easiest V Planner to set up and to use.

Set up the Homeschool Lesson Planner
Setting up the Homeschool Lesson Planner is very much like the V Planner with a few exceptions and so when using the V Planner V4 setup article as your guide, ignore the parts that are related to other courses, grades, terms, and split s-sheets because this planner does not have those items.
- Fill out Data, and then the necessary Data# worksheets (Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4). A formula attempts to let you know which ones to fill out
- Set up the School Calendar at the Days worksheet
- Enter lesson plans at the subject sheets (s-sheets).
See this video – How Lesson Plan Columns are Handled in the Planners

Using the Lesson Planners
In order to take full advantage of any V Planner, one needs to understand how the two lesson plan fetching systems work. Below I have linked three videos that show how to use the Number System and Date System.

Because the Homeschool Lesson Planner V4 is based on the V Planner V4 , then some V Planner V3 and non-grade related V4 help files apply. Ignore the parts that are either absent or different.
