Daily, Weekly, Yearly, and Custom Date-Range Reports

Attendance Connected to Shared Rosters
Use the same roster data from Seating Charts so attendance does not require a separate student list.
Shared Rosters
Build Each Roster Once. Use It Everywhere.
Multiple Rosters for Different Classes or Ensembles
Create separate rosters for each class, ensemble, section, or group you conduct.

Use each roster across connected tools instead of rebuilding the same list multiple times.

Import student rosters from Google Classroom to speed up setup for classes already managed there.
CSV Roster Import
Bring in existing rosters from spreadsheets or other systems using a CSV file.
Class and Ensemble Organization
Keep concert band, jazz band, orchestra, percussion, choir, and other groups organized separately.
Fewer Duplicate Updates
Update student information in one roster instead of changing it in several spreadsheets, charts, and documents.
Foundation for Connected Tools
Use roster data as the starting point for Seating Charts, Attendance, and future Ensemble Helper modules.
