Are you looking for a monthly planning calendar that you can use yourself and also share with your students? If so, my School Year Calendar might be exactly what you need! The 8 1/2 x 11 inch portrait-style pages fit perfectly in a 3-ring binder, and the blocks are large enough for adding due dates and special events. Unlike traditional calendars, this calendar starts with July of the current year and ends with June of the next year. If this sounds like a calendar you might like to use, sign up here and I’ll send it to you!
Suggestions for Using the School Year Calendar

Need an Editable School Year Calendar?
The free School Year Calendar is a printable PDF document, but you can’t type on it, nor can you edit it. However, I do have an editable version that includes Google Slides and PowerPoint pages to customize. You can change the clipart and fonts, type in the calendar blocks, resize the calendar, and so on. My Editable School Year Calendar pack isn’t free, but it’s worth every penny if you’re looking for a resource you can customize.
