School Attendance Tracker for 500 Students
A school attendance tracker for up to 500 students with an absence log built in: tick who is here each day, log why the others were not, and attendance percentages, absence counts and per-student reports fill themselves in. It opens in Microsoft Excel, has no macros and nothing to install, and is yours to reuse as often as you like.
What you get
- Up to 500 students and a full school year, one tick box per school day, grouped by week
- JUMP TO lands on this week, and an ALL PRESENT row marks the whole day so you only tick the exceptions
- Absence Entry: date, student, type (Sick, Excused, Unexcused, Tardy, Other), reason and note, with a NOT LOGGED YET list
- Attendance Report and Absence Report per student, with monthly tables and the most recent absences
- Holidays, breaks and days outside your dates are never counted, and percentages count only school days up to today
- Opens in Excel

Every tab in the workbook
These are the actual sheet names in the file, not a feature list.

- Attendance Report
Works in

Honest scope
This is an organizational template. It reports the data you enter. It does not determine mastery, eligibility or compliance, and it does not replace your district documentation system — those stay your professional judgement.
