Class Roster Template (Printable PDF & GoodNotes)

A class roster with five columns: number, student, parent or guardian, contact and notes. It's the one page with every student and their family contact, for teachers, coaches, tutors and group leaders.

Shown for iPad in the Ivory Minimal theme. Printable downloads use white paper; the e-ink version is black and white.

What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for #, student, parent / guardian, contact and notes
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Teachers at the start of a school year, coaches building a team list, Sunday school and youth leaders, tutors with several students, and scout and club volunteers.

How to use it

Getting the most from a class roster.

  1. Number students alphabetically

    Give each student a number and use it on attendance sheets, gradebooks and handed-in work. It's faster than names and keeps everything in the same order.

  2. Note the best contact

    Write which parent or guardian to contact first, and whether they prefer a call, text or email.

  3. Use notes for key information

    Allergies, pick-up arrangements, learning support and medical needs. Keep it short and follow your school's privacy rules.

  4. Keep it private

    Store the roster in your planner or a secure folder, not on a wall. It holds personal contact details.

  5. Update after every change

    New students, address changes and new contacts: update the roster the same day so your other sheets stay in sync.

  6. Use it on the first day

    Fill in names before the first lesson and add parent details as forms come back. Having the roster ready makes the first week calmer, especially for registration and seating.
