homeroom

Daily attendance spot

Homeroom is a classroom where students report at the start of the school day for attendance, announcements, and administrative tasks before dispersing to subject classes.

The teacher assigned to this room is the homeroom teacher: My homeroom teacher signed my permission slip.

By extension, homeroom refers to this daily period itself: We have a test right after homeroom.
