class book
A class book (also called a class diary ) is a school document in which the subject matter covered , the absenteeism of a student and special incidents are recorded for each lesson . The pages of the class register are printed as appropriate forms for these daily entries . Due to daily use, the cover of the class register is usually particularly stable. The class register can, however, also be kept digitally.
A class register also contains a student directory (usually with the address and other contact details of the parents), timetables , teacher overviews and an overview of the class offices, such as B. Class President .
In the upper level , this documentation is made in the course book or course book of the respective subject teacher (not in Austria).
The type of class bookkeeping is usually regulated in the school laws. In primary schools , the class register is usually kept and kept by the class teacher . In secondary schools, a student who has been appointed as a class book keeper is usually responsible for the class book. He must present the class register to the subject teacher punctually for each lesson and have the homework and a summary of the subject matter from this lesson entered for the current lesson. If this does not happen, the teacher is obliged to add it in the next lesson. Outside of lessons, the class registers are usually stored centrally (e.g. in the school secretariat), and one of the duties of the class register keeper is often to pick up the book there in the morning before the first lesson and to bring it back at the end of the lesson.
At the end of each school year, at some schools also weekly, the entries are checked and managed by the school management . Class registers usually have a term of one year, ie with each school year a new one is created for the relevant class and the previous one is archived .

Digital class register
Nowadays there are numerous offers of digital class books. Insofar as it is clearly defined in a federal state what a class register must contain, every student needs a consent - which can be revoked at any time for the future in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR - to expand the class register beyond these functions . Privately owned schools can generally regulate such approval in the school contract.
