Build your room, set the rules — keep these two apart, front row for this one, never seated alone — and shuffle. Then take attendance, cold-call fairly, make groups, and print a whole-day sub packet from the same chart.

Keep-apart, sit-together, front row, near the teacher, near the door, must sit alone. Private IEP/504-style flags generate the rules for you — and no student is ever seated with zero neighbors unless flagged.
Honors every rule, flags what can't be satisfied, keeps pinned students put, and leans the class toward the front, back, or either side of the room. Undo covers every big change.
Tap a name: blue here, yellow tardy, red absent. Print or export a day or week log with P / T / A per student — straight from the chart you already have open.
A projector-friendly view with a Pick button that spins the room like a prize wheel — nobody gets picked twice until everyone's been picked once, and nobody looks singled out on screen.
Random pairs or groups of 3–5 that remember past pairings and avoid repeats, honor your rules, save under a name, and print as a one-page handout.
Fill in your schedule and lessons once; print or download a packet — a typeset plans page plus every class's seating chart, charts in landscape, faces included if you want them.
Fold-in-half desk cards for back-to-school week, and a grab-and-go class list with check-off boxes for drills — one click each.
Paste names straight from PowerSchool or a spreadsheet, upload CSV/XLSX, or import eTac PDFs — including the picture seating chart, so student faces appear right on the desks.
Save a roster per period and reuse it across charts. Share a chart, roster, or room layout with a colleague as a plain link. Back everything up to a file, restore anywhere.
No sign-up, no download, nothing to install — the whole tool loads as a single page and keeps working even on locked-down school networks.
