What is Classroom Attendance Wheel?

Classroom Attendance Wheel is a free browser-based classroom attendance and turn-order randomizer that can call each current student once. Edit the sample entries, confirm the eligible list, choose the mode that matches the activity, and spin for a visible random result. Use the current class list, protect student information, respect approved accommodations, and keep official attendance records in the school system rather than in the wheel.

Keep official attendance separate

The wheel can choose which prepared section is checked next, but it should not replace the school register or approved attendance system. Do not type health information, contact details, identification numbers, or other sensitive student data into a public display.

Useful for visible groups

Use table labels, rows, class sections, or remote groups so the wheel supports the check-in without exposing a full personal roster.

Not an attendance database

Record attendance in the institution’s authorized system and follow local procedures for late arrivals and absences.

A simple classroom check-in flow

Prepare neutral labels

Add group or seating labels that students can identify quickly.

Spin through every group

No-repeat mode removes each checked group until all sections are complete.

Complete the official record

Transfer confirmed information only through the approved attendance process.

Classroom Attendance Wheel FAQs

Can I use student names?

You can, but neutral group labels are often better for a shared screen. Never add unnecessary personal information.

Does the wheel save attendance?

No. It only selects an entry in the browser and is not an official register.

Can each group be checked once?

Yes. No-repeat mode removes each selected group until reset.
