Instead of a separate planner app or spreadsheet, Lumi Academy automatically tracks attendance, logs lessons by subject, and generates report cards from your child's real activity — no manual entry.
Paper planners and spreadsheets work, but they require you to remember to fill them in every day. A digital homeschool planner that updates itself removes that step — the record-keeping happens as a side effect of your kids doing their actual lessons.
What's Built Into Lumi Academy
✅
Automatic attendance logging — every completed lesson logs the date and subject for that child. No manual check-ins.
📊
Per-subject progress tracking — see exactly what's been covered in math, ELA, science, and social studies for each child.
📄
Printable report cards — generated from real lesson performance, organized by subject and grading period, ready to print or save.
👨👩👧
Separate records per child — up to 8 kids on one account, each with their own attendance log and report card.
📧
Weekly email digest — a summary of what got done each week, without opening the app to check.
💡 Planner vs. tracker — Lumi covers both differently. A weekly schedule template still helps you decide what subject happens when. Lumi's job is the record afterward — attendance, progress, and report cards — generated automatically instead of typed in.

What does a digital homeschool planner app actually do?
A digital homeschool planner typically helps track what's been taught, when, and to whom — attendance, subjects covered, and progress over time. Lumi Academy builds this in automatically: every completed lesson logs attendance and subject progress without any manual entry, and generates printable report cards from that real data.
Do I still need a separate planner if I use Lumi Academy?
Many families don't, for the tracking side — Lumi logs attendance and lesson completion automatically per child. Some families still keep a simple weekly schedule template for planning which subjects happen when, since that's a planning choice rather than a record-keeping one.
Can a digital planner replace paper attendance and report card records?
In most states, yes — a printed digital record works the same as a handwritten one for homeschool documentation purposes. Requirements vary by state, so it's worth confirming your state's specific rule on acceptable record formats.
