  • I do really love your work but I wonder if it is possible for you to add the separate class period / section tab into the same worksheet. Most of the middle and high school teachers have several separate periods because each period have different roster.

      The present template does not have this feature. We will try to incorporate the same in our next release.

  • Hi:

    Thanks for this great template!. I’m a teacher in a Catholic School in Puerto Rico. Here we have another recess periods in the school year, like: Holy Week (1 week recess) and Christmas ( two to three weeks recess). How do we enter these periods if the template only have up to 20 holidays to register?

    • Hello,
      Thank you for using the template.
      You need to enter each day separately in the Holidays table. If we enter two dates and drag them down, Excel will fill automatically. This should help with data entry.

    • Hello

      In a report, a name seems more relevant as it gives the observer a quick recall about the student. Hence the name is used.

      Thanks

      The reports are designed to handle a maximum of 50 students.
      Hence extending the rows would affect the reports.

      Thanks

  • Hi,
    I have downloaded this template as we are a very small school. How do I customise the holiday dates to support holidays that are more than one day, e.g. half term (october, february and June) and 2 weeks at christmas/easter?
