Attendance Chart Editable

About this resource

Roll call on a clipboard, a sticky note for who was late, and a pile of work for the child who was away. This puts the whole attendance routine for a class on paper in one file: charts you type your class list into, a yearly roll-up, a make-up work log, and pages the children use themselves.

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 20 pages

Most attendance charts are one grid. This one also gives you the weekly count, the year at a glance, the make-up log, the note home and the pages children use to check in and count their own class.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the charts, logs and note, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Slides, Google Docs or PowerPoint file, and it does not add up the chart for you. You cannot drag the boxes around or restyle the pages.

It is the working paper for a classroom attendance routine. It does not say what counts as a day here, what is excused, or what happens after a number of days. That is your school's rule, and it gets a blank line. The charts count days; they do not score a child. No health information is filled in. The example students are invented and say so on the page. The only cutting is the 16 name cards and the 8 binder tabs.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten through 8th grade classroom teachers, special education teachers, paraprofessionals and substitutes who take attendance for a class, and the children who check in each morning.
