This attendance sheet template can serve as a key tool used in schools, workplaces, and event management to track attendance over a week.
It helps track student attendance, which is often needed for reports to school administration, communicating with parents, or for students to monitor their own attendance.
Teachers can use this template to record attendance online over a Google Sheet or have a printed version for manual attendance sheets.
The template is designed for accurate and efficient record-keeping with a simple layout for entering data:
- Professor Name: If you’re the teacher for this course, enter your name here. This helps with organization.
- Course Title: Enter the course or subject name. This is helpful when tracking attendance for multiple courses.
- Time/Class Period: Record the time of the class. This is useful if there are multiple sections of the same course.
- Week Starting: Enter the date the week begins (typically Monday). This helps with organizing records by week.
- Status: The sheet includes a key for status codes like Present, Unexcused Absence, Excused Absence, and Tardy. You can customize these codes on a linked sheet, and any changes will automatically update in the main attendance sheet.
- Student Name & ID: Enter each student’s name and ID. The ID is important to differentiate between students with the same name.
- Monday to Friday: There is a column for each weekday to mark attendance. This suits the typical school week.
- Total: This section automatically calculates the totals for each attendance category using formulas like COUNTIF. For example, the formula =COUNTIF(A12:H12, “P”) counts the number of days a student was marked present.
This attendance template is adaptable and easy to use. It’s available in formats like Excel, ODS, and Google Sheets for automated tracking, as well as Word and DOCX for manual entry. This flexibility allows it to meet different needs and preferences.
