The Church does not say we must pray it every day.

My family do not say the Fatima prayer added by Pius the XII.
We do add the expansion on the Holy Name of Jesus in the Hail Mary’s during the mysteries. From my experience, not many people know of this practice. We love it because it brings an extra dimension to the mysteries and deepens our focus. Essentially, the person praying says “and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus, who (insert expansion). Holy Mary….
The expansions go like this for the Joyful mysteries… you can find them all on iBreviary.

- The Annunciation - …Jesus, who humbled himself and became man for our salvation.
- The Visitation - …Jesus, who sanctifies all things and causes them to rejoice.
- The Birth of the Lord - …Jesus, born for us
- The Presentation - …Jesus, dedicated to the will of God.
- The Finding of Jesus in the Temple - …Jesus, who teaches us the will of the Father.

I’m new to Catholicism, but I’ve become very enthusiastic about the rosary.
I don’t say the Fatima prayer, which was awkward, because I prayed the rosary at a vigil outside an abortion clinic last Saturday and couldn’t remember how to say the Fatima prayer when they said it. I suppose I ought to memorise it for the next vigil.
I always say the Hail Holy Queen at the end; that has become very dear to me.
When I’m praying the rosary at home, I like to follow it with the Litany of Loreto.

Must? No. Ought to? Yes.
Putting a Fatima prayer after the 3 Hail Mary’s in the beginning I see as a mistake. A lot of people do it, but it just seems to be a habit of putting one after every Glory Be.
When I was a child (back in the early 1960s) the only prayers that were listed in our catechisms, religious instruction books, etc. for the Rosary were the Apostles Creed, the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. The mysteries for the day (or all of them if this was to be a fifteen decade rosary) were announced prior to the Our Father at the beginning of each decade.
Other prayers were sometimes inserted depending on the devotion those saying the rosary had to specific apparitions of Mary and those saying the Rosary certainly seemed to consider those prayers to be standard. Some of those prayers may have been adopted by our Popes as favorites such that they have more or less become “standard”.
But to the best of my knowledge there are traditionally only four basic prayers that make up the Rosary.

Since you have found that several different conventions are in use, why not explain that to your students. By all means choose one way and teach that to your students, but also tell them that other Catholics might use another convention.
