Rows of 1 to 3 seats, a U open towards the board, table groups of 4 or 6, or desks placed freely to match your room.
Seat your students
Drag a name onto a seat, or let the tool seat the class: at random, or keeping students apart, seating them together and putting students who need it at the front.

FAQ
Seating chart questions
- Are student names sent anywhere?
No. The class list, the chart and your saved classes stay in your browser, on this device. No name is sent to our servers, with or without an account. The PDF is built on your computer. Clearing the site’s data in your browser deletes the chart.
- How does seating by rules work?
Choose students to keep apart or to seat together, and tick “Front” for a student with preferential seating in an IEP or 504 plan, or who has trouble seeing or hearing. The tool looks for a chart that meets every rule. Keep apart means: not side by side, not directly in front or behind, not across the aisle. A rule that can’t be met is listed under the chart.
- What’s in the sub version?
A first page with the chart seen from the teacher’s desk (board at the bottom), names and seat numbers, then a second page with the alphabetical class list, each student’s seat and group, and lines for the day’s notes. “Front” is only printed if you choose to.
- Can a student keep their seat when I reseat the class?
Yes: tick “Locked” in the student list. The student keeps their seat when you seat the class again at random or by your rules, and “Clear all seats” leaves them in place.
- Do I need an account?
No. The chart, seating, printing and PDF are free and need no account, and the current chart is kept in your browser. A free account lets you save several classes and reopen them in one click.
