Everything
you need.

Built specifically for teachers. Every feature solves a real classroom problem — nothing more, nothing less.

01
Multiple Classrooms & Periods
Organize with a two-level hierarchy: physical rooms containing named periods — 1st Period, Block A, Homeroom. Each period gets its own student roster and fully independent seating chart.
Organization
02
Smart Auto-Assign
Fill the room in one click. Choose from random shuffle, alphabetical by first name, or alphabetical by last name. IEP/504 students automatically land in accessible front-row or side-column seats.
Automation
03
Per-Student Seating Rules
Set constraints per student: front row, back row, left column, right column, must sit next to, or must not sit next to a specific peer. Violations are flagged in real time as you build the chart.
Rules Engine
04
Drag & Drop Everything
Seat students by dragging from the roster onto any desk. Swap students between seats instantly. Drag entire periods between classrooms. Add or remove rows and columns with one click.
Interactions
05
Cold-Call Random Picker
One click randomly highlights an occupied seat for class participation. Fair, instant, and hard to argue with. Perfect for equitable discussion or surprise quizzes.
Classroom Tools
06
Notes, Nicknames & Seat Locking
Store private per-student notes visible only to you. Set preferred names that display on desk tiles. Lock specific seats to keep certain students in place across auto-assign reshuffles.
Privacy & Control

Questions, answered.

Do my students' names sync from my school system?
Not yet — school-system sync is on the roadmap. Today, you type or paste your roster into Chalkspace directly. This is by design: we don't connect to school systems on your behalf.
Is my students' PII safe?
Yes. Your account owns your data — the student names, notes, and seating charts you create belong to you. We don't sell, share, or aggregate it with anyone. Student notes are private to you and aren't visible to other users. You can export or delete everything at any time.
What happens to my charts if I cancel Pro?
You keep them — they stay in your account on the free plan. If you have more than one classroom, we'll lock the extras until you re-subscribe; your one primary classroom stays free.
Is there a school / district plan?
Yes — Chalkspace School is $35 per teacher per year with a 10-teacher minimum. To find out more, email [email protected].
Does it work offline?
Not yet. The site is serverless on Cloudflare's edge and designed to load in under a second on school Wi-Fi. An installable PWA with offline mode is on the roadmap.
Can I import my old spreadsheet?
Spreadsheet import is on the roadmap — currently you'll add students one-by-one or copy a list in. We're working on a paste-a-spreadsheet flow and will announce it when it's ready.
