Attendance tracker templates

An attendance tracker records who was present, absent, late or on leave over a period. Employers and schools use one to spot patterns and keep leave balances accurate.

Include names, dates across the period, present, absent or late codes, leave type, totals for each person, and leave balance. Use a short code for each status, such as P, A, L and H, so a whole month or term fits on one screen.

Start with the leave entitlement for the year, add any days carried over, then subtract the leave already taken and approved. Update the balance each time leave is booked.

Record the date, a reason category and whether the absence was approved or unplanned. Keep personal details to what you need, and limit who can open the sheet.

Take the register at the start of each session and mark each student present, absent or late. Review the totals weekly to spot students who need support.

Start with Class Attendance Sheet: Record pupil attendance for each school day with P, A and L codes and form-group counts. If that is not the right fit, compare it with Employee Attendance Tracker.
