homeroom teacher

Morning attendance taker

A homeroom teacher is the teacher assigned to a particular group of students for administrative purposes—taking attendance, making announcements, and handling routine school business.

In American schools, students typically report to homeroom at the start of the day before dispersing to subject classes.

The homeroom teacher often serves as a primary point of contact between students and the school: My homeroom teacher signed my permission slip.
