Getting started
Create your family from Homeroom's welcome screen. Use the parent's email and choose a family name and password. Keep the parent sign-in for adults.
- Open Settings → Students and add each student. Choose an avatar and, if useful on a shared device, a four-digit student PIN.
- Open Settings → School year. Set the year dates, your school days and family timezone. Add breaks and holidays in Settings.
- Open Settings → Subjects. Add subjects for each student, choose their weekdays and colors, and enable a grading scale where you want grades.
- Open Add to enter lessons. Quick add handles individual lessons; Generator creates a numbered sequence; Import previews pasted spreadsheet or CSV content.
- Open Today to see each student's work. Switch to student view when you hand over the device. Students see their own schedule and can mark lessons complete.
- Open Reports at the end of the week. Review progress, export a CSV or print the report.
Use the same subject colors across students when that makes your calendar easier to read. Green is reserved for completed work; Science's suggested color is teal.
Who uses each view
Parents plan, edit and manage records. Students use their own profile for daily work. A co-teacher can be invited from Settings → Teachers with their own sign-in; the family owner retains billing and teacher management.
A parent can sign in on a shared device or the student’s own device and open that student’s profile. A child’s optional PIN protects profile switching. Students do not have independent email sign-ins or parent controls; returning to parent mode requires the adult’s password.
Plan with a connected assistant
Family owners can open Connections to set up ChatGPT or hosted Claude. Choose the child privately in Homeroom, discuss the proposal, and review a saved draft before preparing a preview and confirming Apply. Built-in helpers remain separate from these connections. Start with the MCP guide.
