The always-on classroom reference binder for K-5 teachers. 17 fully editable templates organized into 4 sections - welcome & critical info (about-this-binder, roster, class at-a-glance, allergy alerts, IEP/504, emergency contacts), schedule & routine (daily, weekly specials, birthday calendar), procedures & protocols (classroom procedures, expectations & behavior, lunch & dismissal, classroom jobs), and emergency & safety (sick/injured protocol, emergency procedures, tech protocols, substitute quick-reference). Fill in once at the start of the year. Place at the front of the room. Update as needed. Replace annually. The companion to your Sub Plan Binder + Sub Tub.

Every September, you rebuild the same information from scratch - the roster, the allergies, the schedule, the parent contacts, the dismissal code, the substitute cheat sheet. Handwritten on a clipboard. Post-it notes on the cabinet. Loose papers in the desk drawer. By October, it’s a mess.

This binder fixes that. 17 fully editable templates that you fill in ONCE at the start of each year and update as you go. Designed to be placed at the FRONT of your classroom - visible, current, accessible to substitutes, specialists, the front office, new students mid-year, and anyone covering your class.

Critical pages (allergies, IEP/504 accommodations) are red-coded as confidential - designed for the seriousness those topics demand. The substitute quick-reference page directs sub teachers to your Sub Plan Binder + Sub Tub Companion Pack for full coverage when you’re out.

This is the third pillar in the DeskMade 3-binder system: Sub Plan Binder runs the lesson day, Sub Tub Companion handles recognition extras, Class Information Binder is the always-on operating manual. Together they cover everything around being a K-5 classroom teacher.
