How to make a monthly attendance sheet

  1. Type a title and a second line, like the class name and your name.

  2. Pick the month and the days your class meets, like Mon–Fri or Tue/Thu. Only those dates get a column. For a club or course without set dates, switch to numbered sessions and set how many.

  3. Paste your class list with one name per line, or leave it empty and write the names in by hand. If you saved a roster in Im Here!, one click adds it.

  4. Choose Letter or A4. Landscape gives each day a wider column, which helps with a full month.

  5. Press print, or save it as a PDF. Long lists continue onto more pages, and every page repeats the title and the dates.

Grid or sign-in

When a monthly grid fits better than a sign-in sheet

  • The same people every time

    A class, a team, or a weekly group. You write the names down the side once and use the sheet all month.

  • More than one meeting

    One page covers every session, so you can spot someone who missed three Fridays in a row.

  • You do the marking

    The teacher or coach fills in the grid. Nobody has to pass a clipboard around the room.

  • You need a total

    Count each row into the Days present column for report cards, payroll, or a club’s records.

For a one-off event or a group that changes every time, people should write their own names. The sign-in sheet maker makes that kind of sheet.

Tips

Tips for keeping attendance on paper

  • Mark every box, including absences. An empty box could mean absent or could mean you forgot. A letter leaves no doubt.

  • Take attendance at the same point in every session, such as right after the bell, so late arrivals get marked the same way each time.

  • Cross out holidays before the month starts. A line down the whole column keeps a day off from being counted as an absence.

  • Sort the names A–Z so they match your gradebook. Copying marks over goes faster when both lists are in the same order.

  • Add up the totals on the last day of the month, while the sheet is still in front of you and the marks are fresh.

  • Keep last month’s sheet. Parents and schools sometimes ask about attendance long after the month is over.

Or take attendance from phones

If your students have phones, Im Here! can take attendance at the start of class. You open a room and put the four-digit PIN or the QR code on the board. Everyone types their name on their own phone, and the names show up on your screen as they come in. Add your class roster and the room shows who's missing.

When you're done, copy the list or download it as a text file. It's free, and nobody needs an account. Keep a printed sheet in your bag for days without Wi-Fi.
