A student attendance sheet for the whole visit.

The template has 18 blank rows, a date and center field, and columns for student name, arrival, departure, staff initials, and notes. Download the ready-to-print PDF, or open the browser version and print in landscape orientation. No signup required.

The blank template includes 18 rows, with room for your center name and date. Arrival and departure columns include AM/PM reminders; staff initials and notes help explain corrections.

1. Write the center name and date before the first arrival. Use a fresh sheet each day.
2. Record each student’s name and arrival time when they check in. Use the same time format throughout the sheet, including AM or PM.
3. Record the departure on the same row when the student leaves. An empty departure field means the visit still needs checking, not necessarily that the student is still present.
4. If a student returns later that day, start a new row so each visit has its own arrival and departure.
5. At closing, review incomplete entries. For a correction, preserve the original entry and add the reason and staff initials.

Choose who records arrivals and who reviews the sheet at the end of the day. Keep it in a staff-controlled location, and avoid putting sensitive information in the notes column. Store completed sheets according to your center’s record-handling practices.

If staff spend time looking through old sheets, combining records, or checking which copy is current, a shared attendance workspace may help. Classroom Check-In keeps arrivals, departures, student histories, and corrections together.
