Our academic planners are designed for anyone who prefers their planner to follow the U.S. school year—including educators, parents, and families who plan around the school calendar rather than the calendar year.
When do academic planners launch?
Our 2026–2027 Academic Collection launches on May 13 at 10 am ET, with a preview going live on May 1 at 10 am ET.
We release our academic collection each spring to give teachers, students, and families who prefer to follow the school year plenty of time to prepare.
Looking for a different launch timeline? You can find all upcoming releases our releases page.
What dates do academic planners cover?
Our academic planners follow the traditional U.S. school year and are dated from July through June. Date ranges are always listed on the product page at the time of release.
Which planners are part of the academic collection?
The academic collection includes the following layouts, dated to follow the U.S. school year:
The Scout, The Anne, The Nancy, The Rose, The Jo, The Kristy, The Carmen, and The Valerie, a favorite among educators.
Is The Valerie available now?
The Valerie layout is part of our academic collection, and the next launch is currently planned for Spring 2026. We’ll be sure to update our releases page with more details as they become available.
If you’re looking for something sooner, some educators choose to use one of our other layouts and customize it with our teacher inserts, depending on what works best for their planning needs. We have a blog post that highlights how educators use our layouts, and we also offer teacher inserts such as block planning and lesson planning inserts. Scout size block planning and lesson planning inserts will be available in our 2026 collection.
Is The Mae planner returning?
Unfortunately, The Mae will not be returning at this time. We know this layout was well loved, and this was a tough decision, but one made to ensure we can continue offering planners at the pricing and quality you expect. Thank you so much for your understanding!
