The Students sheet keeps weekly reading minutes, promised donations and money received together. The Summary sheet adds up school and classroom progress automatically.
Outstanding donations are calculated for each student: a $50 promise with $20 received leaves $30 to collect. Extra money received for one student won't reduce another student's outstanding balance.
Set up your campaign in three steps.
Add your school and classrooms
Save a copy for your campaign. Enter your school, campaign and classroom names on Summary, then add each student once on Students. Match classroom names on both sheets so the totals line up.
Enter reading minutes
Fill in the amber cells with each week's minutes. Leave unused weeks blank. The totals update as you go: 45 minutes in week one and 60 in week two add up to 105.
Record donations
Enter commitments under Promised and confirmed payments under Received. For a gift paid immediately, enter it in both columns. Update the existing row when a promise is paid.
Keep your records easy to manage.
Choose one organizer to maintain the workbook. Each week, check for duplicate entries and compare received donations with the school's payment records. Share classroom or school totals with families; keep the student-level file with your organizing team.
The formulas cover 300 students and 20 classroom summaries. Extend the formulas and summary ranges before adding more rows. Keep expenses, fees and gifts not assigned to a student in your school's separate records. The workbook tracks donations; payments and per-minute pledge calculations happen separately.
FAQ
Is the readathon tracker free?
Yes. Download and adapt it for your school without signing up or buying PagePledge.
Can I use it in Google Sheets?
Yes. Use File → Import to upload the XLSX workbook, then check the 45 + 60 = 105 example above. Keep the workbook format: CSV won't preserve its sheets and formatting.
