The daily journal
The daily journal is the hour-by-hour plan on Today (the school destination, not the classroom tab). It is the day's grid: huddles, planning, and timed moments. The daily summary is a separate narrative you write from Classroom Tools.
Adding an entry
- Open Today in the top bar.
- Find Daily Journal.
- Click Add to Journal.
- Write what happened and set the time. It defaults to now.
- Save. The entry lands on the grid at that hour.
Naps, meals, and diapers are not journal entries. Log those from Classroom Tools → Daily Tracking.
Editing or deleting an entry
Click an existing entry to change its text or time. Delete only when you are sure; there is no undo.
Moving between days
Use the previous / today / next controls beside Add to Journal to step to another day.
Choosing what families see
Each entry can be shared or kept as a staff note. Shared entries can appear on the parent's view of the day. Decide per entry.
Tips
- Log moments as they happen so the time is right.
- Use the journal for the day's grid and the daily summary for the wrap-up.
- Keep shared entries warm and specific.
