Privacy tip: first names or initials work well. The app never needs anything else about a student.
Class lists
One class list works in every Sandbox tool. Export it here and import it anywhere, or import a spreadsheet saved as CSV (columns: Class, Student). Names already on a roster are skipped.
Students
Uncheck anyone who's absent today. Absences reset automatically tomorrow. Click a name to fix a typo.
No students yet. Paste some names on the left.
