Keys used:
studentSubmissionsuserNotificationsteacherNotificationsassignmentDraftscompletedAssignments
Login 🎓👨🏫
Choosing whether you're a Student or Teacher. Teachers need a PIN.

Prompt Format 💻
The standard way to write prompts for Claude Code. Conceptual descriptions, not exact code.
Personal Best 👨🏫
The best value Lucas has ever recorded for a drill, across every logged day. Drills scored by time or attempts count the lowest number as best. Drills scored by makes or points count the highest. Week view outlines those cells in amber and tags them PB.
Plan Documents 👨🏫
The strip of plan PDFs in the Today card header. They open in a viewer over the page rather than a new tab, and are drawn from the Plan category of Program Links.
Program Link 👨🏫

Q
Quill 💻
The rich text editor library used for Writing assignments. Supports bold, italic, lists.
R
Resume 🎓👨🏫💻
The app reopens on whatever page you were last on rather than always starting at the student picker. If there is nothing recorded yet, a teacher lands on the family picker and a student on their dashboard.
Developer note: the breadcrumb is hlmsLastPage in localStorage, written by session-auth.js and cleared by Log Out. The manifest start_url is unchanged; the start page routes on the breadcrumb instead.
Reflection 🎓👨🏫
Three questions you answer after finishing an assignment:
- What was interesting?
- What was hard?
- Do you have questions?
Review 👨🏫
When the teacher looks at submitted work to give feedback and grades.
Risk Score 💻
A 1-10 rating of how likely code changes are to break things. Higher = more testing needed.
S
Switch Student 🎓👨🏫
The button on the student dashboard that opens the picker so a different child can be chosen. It always shows the picker, even though a normal app launch resumes to the last page instead.
Session 🎓👨🏫💻
The record that says who is signed in on this device. It is created when you log in and lasts until you click Log Out. Closing the browser, closing the installed app, and leaving a page open all the way overnight do not end it.
Each device keeps its own session, so signing in on the laptop does not sign you in on the phone.
Developer note: stored in localStorage under homeschoolSession and read and written only through session-auth.js (HLMSAuth.getSession, setSession, clearSession). It carries no expiry field and no page enforces one.
Subject 🎓👨🏫
A type of schoolwork. The five subjects are:
- ✍️ Writing
- 🔢 Math
- 📖 Reading
- 🔬 Science
- 📝 Spelling
Submit 🎓👨🏫

Try Again 🎓
Work the teacher sent back for you to fix. Shows as a red stat card.
Total Makes 👨🏫
Every shot Lucas made in one training day. A completed workout banks the make targets for the drills scored by attempts (25 each for Hop Touch, Five Spot, and Forward Hop) and adds the Lateral Hop Mikan, Around the Horn, and X Out makes, the Twos and Twos points halved, and his free throw makes. Kneeling makes are not counted. Days before August 20 2026 bank a flat 20 for Mikan, which is what that drill's older format was worth. It is recalculated on every read rather than stored.
V
Vitamins 👨🏫
The daily mechanical work done at home, away from a hoop: Ball Raises, Kneeling Single Hand, and the Tennis Ball Workout. They run before the shooting workout on the Today card.
W
Week 👨🏫💻
A 5-day period (Monday-Friday) in the curriculum. There are 24 weeks total.
Workout Card 👨🏫
