Class attendance sign in sheet
A page for each session of a class, workshop or training: students write their name and ID, and you have the record when it ends.
Saved designs
One page per session
Print the sheet fresh for each class. Put the course name in the subtitle and the date in the header, and the page can go straight into a folder afterward. With the default font the page holds around twenty students; pick two pages for a bigger group.
| Column | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|
| Name | Widest column, so full names fit. |
| ID | A student or employee number, which settles two people with the same name. |
| Time in | Shows who was late without you saying anything. |
| Signature | Turns the list into a record of attendance. |
Variations
Short on space? Make the ID column narrower with its width slider and give the room to the name. Running a long workshop with a break? Add a second time column of type time in and rename it “Back from break”.
Questions
Can I use this for workplace training?
Yes. Set the subtitle to the course name and add a column for employee ID or department. Keep the signature column if you need proof of attendance.
How do I make one sheet for the whole term?
Use the date column, leave the date field in the header empty, and print several pages. Each row is one student for one day.
Should students sign in or should I take attendance myself?
A sign in sheet saves you reading the roll aloud and gives you a written record. If cheating by signing for someone else is a worry, take attendance yourself too.
What if I only need a tick for present?
Change the signature column to the yes or no type. Students circle Y instead of signing.
Is it suitable for a school?
It makes a plain paper sheet. Whether it meets your school’s attendance rules is up to your school; this tool does not store student data.
