Free Printable Assignment Tracker for Students + Grade & Due Date Log

This free printable assignment tracker is designed for one class at a time. Track every assignment, due date, points earned, points possible, and final grade — across all four marking periods — on one page.

Print one per class, put them in your binder, and actually know where you stand.

Forgetting an assignment is one thing. Not knowing your grade is another. But getting to the end of the quarter and realizing you have no idea where your grade stands? That’s a whole different kind of stress. 📋

What’s Included

The free download includes:

• 1-page portrait assignment tracker, 8.5 x 11″
• Space for your class name and subject at the top
• 4 quarterly sections — Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 (or first and second semester)
• For each assignment: task/assignment name, due date, points earned, points possible, and grade/percentage
• Checkbox column to mark assignments as turned in
• Margin space for hole punching — fits right in a binder
• PDF and editable Canva template

Print one copy per class. Keep them all in your student binder behind each subject divider.

How to Use It

1. Print one assignment tracker for each class at the start of the school year
2. Write the class name and teacher at the top
3. As assignments are given, write them in the corresponding quarter section with the due date
4. When you get a grade back, fill in the points earned and points possible
5. Calculate your percentage (points earned ÷ points possible x 100) and write it in the grade column
6. Check the checkbox when the assignment is turned in — not just finished
7. Use the running data to calculate your approximate grade before report cards

Pro Tip: Most teachers use total points grading. Add up all your “points earned” and divide by all your “points possible” for an accurate running grade. No guessing, no surprises at report card time.

Why Track by Class Instead of by Week?

Weekly planners show you what’s due this week. That’s great for avoiding late assignments. But they don’t show you patterns across a whole semester. A per-class assignment tracker shows you:

• Which class is dragging your GPA down
• Whether your grade is trending up or down heading into finals
• How many points you need on the final exam to hit your goal grade
• Which types of assignments (quizzes vs. tests vs. homework) you consistently struggle with

A homework planner tells you what to do this week. This assignment tracker tells you where you stand for the year.

Who This Is For

• Middle school students starting to manage multiple classes with different grading systems
• High school students in classes where assignments, quizzes, and tests are all weighted differently
• College students tracking a syllabus with a complex points system
• Parents who want a paper record of their child’s assignments and grades throughout the year
• Teachers who want to hand students a personal grade-tracking tool at the start of each quarter

What to Track in Each Column

Here’s how to use each column to get the most out of this tracker:

• Assignment/Task: Write the full assignment name. “Math HW” isn’t specific enough. “Section 4.3 problems 1-20” is.
• Due Date: The date it’s due — not the date it was assigned. This is what you’re racing against.
• Points Earned: Leave blank until you get the graded assignment back. Fill it in the same day.
• Points Possible: Write this when the assignment is given — you usually know the max points before you turn it in.
• Grade: Calculate and write your percentage after every few assignments so you always have a recent running grade.
• Checkbox: Mark it when you turn it in — not when you finish it. “Finished but sitting in my backpack” is not turned in.

Pair This With Your Full Student Planning System

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a printable assignment tracker?

A printable assignment tracker is a one-page sheet where students record every assignment for a specific class — the name, due date, points earned, points possible, and grade. It’s used to keep track of work throughout the semester and calculate a running grade without relying on the teacher’s online gradebook (which isn’t always up to date).

Is this assignment tracker free?

Yes. Free PDF and Canva template. Click the download button above. No email required.

How many classes can I use this for?

Print one tracker per class. If you have 6 classes, print 6 trackers. One class per page keeps everything organized and easy to reference without scrolling through a combined list.

What do the 4 quarters mean?

The tracker divides the page into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 — the four marking periods of a standard school year. If your school runs on semesters instead of quarters, use Q1 and Q2 for your two semesters and leave Q3 and Q4 blank, or use them for midterms and finals tracking.

How is this different from the homework planner?

The homework planner is a weekly tool — it shows this week’s assignments and helps you manage your time day by day. The assignment tracker is a semester-long record — it shows every assignment in a class, your points, and your running grade over time. Use both for full coverage.

Can parents use this to track their child’s grades?

Absolutely. Print one per class, keep them in a home binder, and have your student fill them in after each graded assignment comes home. Gives parents a real-time view of academic progress without having to log into the school’s grading portal.
