No, no, you're not going to break that spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets are wonderfully helpful organizers for the classroom and your professional life.


Tracking attendance, calculating grades, monitoring student progress over time, creating seating charts, organizing lesson plan timelines, mapping curriculum standards to activities, scheduling parent–teacher conferences, tracking behavior incidents, managing classroom inventory, planning unit pacing guides, logging professional development hours, tracking intervention or MTSS data.


Alright, I repped off use cases. Doing the most.
