Every template on this page was designed and is maintained in-house by uiCookies, so these are our own school management system front ends rather than a list of links. There are three dashboards, each for a different group of users: Registrar for the school office, Homeroom for students and parents, and Gradebook for teachers. Between them they cover the office, family and classroom sides of a school system.
A school management system is mostly about records and routines: who is enrolled, who is in today, who has paid, what is on the timetable and how each student is doing. A good interface makes those daily jobs quick, such as taking a register in a minute or finding a student in a few keystrokes, and shows each person only what they need. The office wants directories and fee balances, teachers want marks and lesson plans, and families want homework, grades and messages in one place, on a phone as much as on a desktop.
Be clear about what you are downloading. These are HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript templates on Bootstrap 5, with no jQuery, filled with a fictional school's demo data. There is no backend, database or login system: forms validate in the browser, some edits are kept in the browser's local storage, and nothing is sent to or stored on a server. A developer connects them to a real backend or API. They are free for personal and commercial use, including client work and student projects, and attribution is optional but always welcome; the full terms are at uicookies.com/license.
The templates
Registrar
Registrar is a seven-page admin dashboard for the people who run a school office, filled with the fictional Harbourview Academy's 652 students in 24 classes. The dashboard shows enrolment, attendance today, fees collected and staff present, with attendance and fee charts, notices, recent admissions and upcoming exams. Around it sit a student directory with filters, sorting, pagination and CSV export, student profiles with guardians, an attendance heatmap, grades and a fee ledger, a morning attendance register, fee invoices, a weekly timetable by class or teacher and a staff sign-in screen.
The register marks each student Present, Absent or Late with reasons and a live summary, and the record-payment modal updates invoice balances. Charts are inline SVG with keyboard tooltips and a table view, and there is a light and dark mode. Built on Bootstrap 5 with vanilla JavaScript and no jQuery. The sign-in page is a screen only, not a working login.
Homeroom
Homeroom covers the side of a school system that students and families use, rather than the back office. Its six pages are a student home with an attendance ring, recent grades, announcements, upcoming events and today's lessons on a timeline; assignments with To do, Submitted and Graded tabs; a report card with term tabs, teacher comments and a grade-trend chart; a weekly timetable; a two-pane messages inbox; and a parent view with a two-child switcher, fees with a pay dialog, permission slips and attendance alerts.
The timetable reads the device clock to mark done, current and next lessons, and each assignment opens in a drawer with a rubric and a drag-and-drop submission area, though nothing is uploaded, sent or charged. Phones get a bottom tab bar. Built on Bootstrap 5 with vanilla JavaScript and no jQuery, with light and dark themes.
Gradebook
Gradebook is a six-page teacher dashboard for a school management system, LMS or tutoring platform, shown for a science teacher with seven classes. It includes a daily dashboard with the timetable, a marking queue, a class averages chart and a quick register; class cards with averages and next lessons; the markbook itself; an assignments page with a rubric builder; a Monday to Friday lesson plan board; and a class performance report with a grade distribution histogram, top and at-risk students and a comparison across classes.
The markbook works like a spreadsheet: type marks into cells, move with the arrow keys, Enter and Tab, undo with Ctrl+Z, and watch the averages recalculate. Edits are kept in the browser and the current class exports to CSV. Built on Bootstrap 5 with vanilla JavaScript and no jQuery, with a light and dark theme.

| Template | Best for | Pages | Standout feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registrar | School offices and registrars | 7 | Attendance register, fee invoices and student records |

How to choose
Pick by the person who will spend the most time in it. If you are building for administrators, start with Registrar: student records, attendance, fees and timetables are the core of most school management systems, and it has all four. For the portal that students and parents see, Homeroom already separates the two views and handles assignments, grades, messages and fees due. For the classroom, Gradebook covers marking, lesson planning and class reports. For a college project or a proposal to a school you can combine them, since all three share the same stack and structure: one stylesheet and one vanilla JavaScript file each, though each has its own look.
There is no landing page for school management software here. If you are selling a school management product, these dashboards are what you would demo or screenshot, but the marketing page that sells it is a separate job and needs its own template. Likewise, if you want a public website for a school, with admissions, courses and events, that is a different kind of site from a management dashboard; the premium WordPress themes listed below are built for that. If your brief asks for a free Bootstrap 5 school management system template, all three here are Bootstrap 5 and download directly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a school management system template and a school website theme?
A school management system template is the internal tool that staff, students and parents use after signing in: records, attendance, fees, marks and timetables. A school website theme is the public site for prospective families, with admissions, courses, news and events. Our three templates are the first kind; the WordPress themes listed below are the second, often with LMS and event plugins, and many schools need both.
Do these templates include a backend or database?
No. They are HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript filled with fictional demo data, and there is no server, database or login system. Forms validate in the browser, while Registrar's saved registers and Gradebook's marks are kept only in the browser's local storage. A developer replaces the demo data with responses from a real backend or API and connects the forms to it.
Can I use these for a student or college project?
Yes. They are free for personal and commercial use, and the realistic demo data makes them a solid front end for a school management project or a presentation to a school. If your brief requires a working system, you still need to build the backend, database and sign-in yourself and connect the pages to it, so be clear in your write-up about which parts came from the template. Attribution is optional but always welcome; the full terms are at uicookies.com/license.
Can parents or the school office take fee payments through these dashboards?
Not as they ship. Registrar's record-payment modal updates invoice balances in the open tab, and Homeroom's parent view has a pay dialog, but nothing is charged. To take real payments, connect them through your backend to a payment provider.
How do I load my own school's students, classes and marks?
Registrar and Gradebook generate their demo school, classes, students and marks from small arrays at the top of js/main.js, so you can edit those for a demo or replace them with calls to your API. Homeroom keeps its assignment briefs, rubrics and message threads in data objects in js/main.js, with the rest of its content in the HTML pages. Registrar's pages only read the student, invoice, class and teacher lists, so swapping those builders is enough to start.
