Classroom seating chart maker
Put the roster on a desk map you can change later.
Classroom seating chart maker for rows, pairs, or groups — import your roster, place names on desks, and print a map for substitutes.
Moving two students should not mean redrawing the chart.
Paper maps and whiteboard photos go stale after week one. Keep desks on a chart, names on seats, and reprint when the roster changes.
A desk layout that matches your room
Rows, pairs, or groups, with aisles you actually walk during class.
- Place individual desks or tables in rows, pairs, or small groups
- Leave aisles wide enough for fire drills and lab equipment
- Mark the teacher desk and board so front-row choices are obvious
- Duplicate last term’s layout when the furniture stays the same
Roster import and seating rules
Put names on seats, instead of sticky notes on a photo of the whiteboard.
- Import CSV from your SIS or a simple name list
- Seat students who need front access or quiet partners first
- Keep conflicting pairs apart with a quick look at the chart
- Move one student without rebuilding the entire map
Print for substitutes and co-teachers
A clear map on a clipboard beats guessing desk numbers.
- Print a letter-size chart for the sub folder
- Export a list sorted by row for attendance checks
- Share a view link with co-teachers when you team-teach
- Update once after transfers and reprint
How to make a classroom seating chart
Lay out the desks
Place desks in rows, pairs, or groups so the map matches the room, including aisles and the teacher desk.
Import the roster
Upload a CSV or type names in. Seat students who need front access or quiet partners first.
Print and update
Print a copy for the sub folder. When someone moves, drag them to a new desk and print again.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import a student roster?
Yes. Import CSV from your SIS or a simple name list, then drag students onto desks or assign them in batches.
Can I rearrange desks without starting over?
Yes. Move a desk or a student independently. The rest of the room stays put, so a mid-term change is a drag, not a redraw.
Can I print a chart for substitutes?
Yes. Export a letter-size chart for the sub folder, plus a list sorted by row for attendance checks.
Can co-teachers see the same chart?
Yes. Share a view link so a co-teacher or specialist can open the same seating map without editing it.
