The Behavior Log with six incidents, each showing the date, student initials, category, severity, trigger, intervention and flags for parent contact, admin referral and follow-up.

Why teachers keep this one open

Three weeks after an incident, nobody can reconstruct what set it off or what you tried. But that is exactly when the referral gets written, the parent asks, or the meeting happens.

A behavior log is only worth keeping if it captures the part that matters: not just that something happened, but what came before it, what you did, and whether it worked.

How it works

📋 Log

One row per incident: date, time, student initials, period, category and severity, then the three boxes that carry the weight later: Trigger / Context, Intervention Used, and Outcome. Tick Parent Contacted, Admin Referral or Follow-Up Needed as they apply. Twelve categories run from Off-task and Disruption through Aggression and Unsafe Behavior, plus Positive Behavior Noted.

📊 Summary

The pattern, not the incident. Five counters across the top, then By Category and By Student bars that show where the behavior actually sits. The Student Breakdown gives one card per student, with flags for parent contact, admin referral and open follow-up.

🔔 Follow-Up

The promises you made. Every entry marked Follow-Up Needed lands here, soonest first, open ones above completed. Mark one Done and it stays visible as Complete.

🔍 Find it again

Filter by student, category, severity, date range or flag. The count above the table reads "3 of 24 entries", so a filtered view always reconciles against the whole log, and that line prints too.

See where the behavior actually sits

Usually not where it feels like it sits. The Summary turns a stack of incidents into something a referral can use: how many, which categories, which students, and which follow-ups are still open.

The Behavior Log summary: counters for total entries, high severity, parent contacts, open follow-ups and admin referrals, bars by category and by student, and a card per student.
An incident entry form with date, time, student initials, period, category, severity, trigger, intervention used, outcome, and checkboxes for parent contact, admin referral and follow-up.

What you can hand over

Print the tab you are on (the filtered log, the summary, or the follow-up list) and the buttons, filters and row controls come off the paper. Filter to one student first and you walk into a conference with dates, what was tried, and what happened, instead of an impression.

Export writes every entry to a spreadsheet, including whether each follow-up is still open or already closed.

Your data stays on your device

Behavior records never touch a server, because there is no server. Everything saves in your browser, and you can save a backup file to your own computer and load it back any time. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared, and there is no account.

The app prompts you to use student initials rather than full names, which keeps identifying detail out of a file that lives on your own device. Follow your school or district's records policy for anything you share or submit.
