A huge time-saver for teachers!
Track attendance, calculate grades, and generate reports — all in one easy-to-use spreadsheet.
1. You will need an iPad, Android Tablet, or a Windows or Apple computer or laptop.
2. You will need a spreadsheet program or app to run this file that gets sent to you. (Like WPS Office or Excel)
3. Then you will need to purchase this spreadsheet, which is a file that gets sent to you by email.
UPDATE Aug 2025:
Limitations of using MS Office apps on an iPad or Tablet with a screen size larger than 10.1 inches.
The only Microsoft option is a Microsoft 365 subscription! Otherwise, functionality is restricted to opening and reviewing existing documents. You cannot create or edit documents without a subscription.
⚠ DO NOT USE Google Sheets or Apple’s Numbers App – they will corrupt the file.
Why not Google Sheets?
Google Sheets will NOT run this spreadsheet and does not seem to have the capabilities of some of the other common spreadsheet programs, especially conditional formatting. That makes this spreadsheet visually more appealing and more user-friendly.
Why Get “This” Grading Spreadsheet?
A special feature is the Summary page or sheet where the grades are averaged and the attendance is recorded. It’s arranged by a page of each student. You can selectively print a certain student’s page or print and/or email the pages to the schoolboard or yourself. It is a “live” total that is constantly updating with every grade entered. You can see student and class averages in several different ways. For report cards, there is the student average by quarter by subject. Then there’s a student average by subject for the whole year and a student average by term for all the subjects. There’s a class average by subject and also a class average by term for all the subjects, and then a class average for all the subjects for the whole year. (See the Summary picture on this website below). If you teach multiple grades and want to see averages by grade instead of the whole class, you will need a spreadsheet file for each grade. If at any time you want to download a fresh copy, go to the Datasheet and click on “Get A Fresh Copy” under the student name list.
The attendance page is easy to use – it automatically (saves time) fills in each student as present for that day. And then if you mark a student as absent, tardy, or requested a half-day, you simply change the corresponding code letter for that day for that student. As you do so, the cell turns to a different color so it’s easy to spot. Then for each student, you can write a note for each week for reference – maybe why they were late, or some happening you would like to record. If a student begins later in the year or leaves your school before the end of the year, you can record those dates and the attendance will begin or end the tracking accordingly. The price for the grading spreadsheet is $29.95. This is a one-time purchase and the succeeding years are free upgrades.
OneDrive Option (For Advanced Excel Users)
This spreadsheet will operate fine through OneDrive Online. (click the link and sign up if you do not have a Microsoft account). You will be able to share and/or open the spreadsheet on any device that’s connected to the internet, and from anywhere. (Only through a browser, Not the app)
What kind of tablet?
If you are considering whether to invest in a tablet or iPad, I would highly recommend an Android tablet. The file handling limitations of the iPad makes it more difficult to work with saving this spreadsheet file to the device and then running it with Excel. iPad attempts to run the spreadsheet with its own built-in program, but it does not work properly, and our support does not cover issues from using Apple’s Numbers app, or Google Sheets. If you already have an iPad or would like to purchase one, that is fine, just make sure you first open WPS Office or Excel and then open the grading spreadsheet from inside WPS Office or Excel.
In case I didn’t say this yet, DO NOT USE GOOGLE SHEETS!
Not Sure Yet?

We wish for you to have a splendid year teaching.

Just let me know.
Again, the price for the grading spreadsheet is $29.95. This is a one-time purchase and the succeeding years are free upgrades. To get a new spreadsheet for the next year, you will need to click the link that says, “Get A Fresh Copy” under the list of student names.
If you enter the email address that you used to purchase the Grading Sheet originally, you will not need to pay again. Just fill out the form and hit submit, even if there is a price showing. If you cannot remember the email address, or if you want to change the email address on file, go ahead and use your new email and pay and then email or Whatsapp me and I will refund your payment. Then you will be registered for future free upgrades.
