Hi, will there be a 2023-2024 planner?
Sorry, just saw I made a istake with the year!
I love your work. How can I download it?
Hi Rita! You’ll want to click the blue DOWNLOAD button just above these comments. It will pop-up with a new page that you can enter your information and download the planner. ? Fingers crossed that helps!
Thank you for this beautiful planner. Though I have downloaded the font pack, when I fill in my own names on the pages, they always revert to a default font, and I can’t seem to get it in the font or size I want. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Hi Sadie!
I would check to make sure you’re using the latest version of Adobe. You also want to be sure that you are working with the file that has been downloaded and saved to your computer – not the initial “preview file” that pops up. Let me know if I can be of any help!

Hello thanks for this beautiful planner. I´ve downloaded the file but now is asking me for a password to edit on pdf, help please!
Hi Jessica,
You will be able to edit the planner by typing directly in any of the boxes that turn purple as you hover over them. If you would like the fonts to match, there is information about downloading a free font on page 4 of the PDF. Please let me know if I can be of further help!

This doesn’t address the password issue. Can you please tell me how to unlock the password problem?
Hi Michelle,
In order to protect the copyright status of the fonts and graphics we have used, we have the document password protected. Any of the areas of the planner that are editable are able to be changed without a password. Please let me know if you’re having trouble with those!

Would love the calendars for January-May 2024 – I’m a crazy person and trying to map our next school year a bit more while I’m still fresh about what is and isn’t working!
Hi Rebecca,
Making plans for next year while you still remember details is a great idea! The update for next school year is on our to do list!

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this planner. It’s lovely and generous of you! I have 22 students this year and the lists go to 16. Is there a way to add more rows that you can suggest? Again, many thanks for sharing!
Hi Dede!
I’m SO glad you like the planner! To add more student pages, we suggest filling and printing the lists twice. Enter students 1-16 on p.24, and then print all the pages pre-filled with their names that you’d like. Then go back to p.24, enter students 17-22, and print the pages you’d like again. I hope that helps!
Warmly,
Sarah
I love the teacher planner but I noticed that the dates are not correct on the monthly calendars. I am not able to edit them so, I wonder if you would correct them and I will download them again.
Thanks
Hi Marilyn!
July 2023 is all fixed! Please let us know if there are any other issues you see.
