Plan Your School Year Before the Semester Gets Busy

Build the school year before it begins

The summer isn't over yet, but it's close.

This is the key window to plan the school year before classes start.

A little time now creates more time later. You'll head into the semester knowing where your classes, deadlines, breaks, and personal goals fit instead of figuring it out as you go.

Whether you're starting college, sending kids back to school, or planning another academic year, get your academic wall calendar on the wall.

Set It Up

• Hang it where you'll see it every day. Kitchen, bedroom, dorm room, wherever you spend the most time.
• Add every date you already know. . First day of school, holidays, breaks, birthdays, and finals.
• Use color to organize your schedule. Our color code stickers help you coordinate to visualize and track toward exciting goals.
• Use the dry erase marker. When schedules and plans change, you can just wipe and rewrite.
• Add one personal goal per quarter. Something challenging you want to do, build, or experience between now and June.
• Leave room for life. Trips, concerts, birthdays, and weekends deserve space on your calendar too.

Add color code stickers to it

Here's what you can map out adding colors to make it fun.

🟡 Yellow - first day of class, exams, finals, and deadlines.

🟢 Green - family/friends trips and mini adventures.

🟣 Purple - lectures, labs, and recurring classes.

🟠 Orange - semester goals and habits you're building.

The Bigger Picture

The semester will fill up faster than you think.

Seeing the whole school year at once makes it easier to protect time for the things you'll remember after it's over.

The Big Class Calendar holds all of it, school and life, side by side.
