How to make a classroom seating chart
- Paste names or upload a CSV roster.
- Pick rows, pods, U-shape, or horseshoe — not just a spreadsheet grid.
- Add keep-apart pairs, front-row students, and chatty students to separate.
- Shuffle, drag to fine-tune, then Print → Save as PDF.
Built for talkative classes
Use the chatty list so talkative students are never adjacent after a shuffle. Combine with keep-apart for IEP-style separation needs. Everything stays free after the randomizer — including drag edits competitors often lock behind Pro.
Privacy. This is a teacher tool — no student accounts or logins. Your roster is saved only in this browser (localStorage). We do not upload names, and the seating editor never shows third-party ads. Clearing site data deletes the roster from this device.
