What about saying class representative or secretary? I �d use one of them but in all probability native speakers know it better.

Duties of a Class Monitor

  1. If you are a class monitor, your duties are to help keep your fellow students in line during the school day, help your teacher maintain a neat and organized classroom and assist the teacher with special projects. Class monitors may volunteer for the position or may be elected. The term "class monitor" is used primarily in Asia and Europe. Schools in the United States may prefer the term "hall monitor" and primarily use monitors to ensure that students get to class safely.
  2. Set Up

  3. You may be asked to help set up the classroom just as the teacher wants it, moving any chairs or tables as needed. Occasionally, you may need to sweep the classroom and wipe the desks and chairs down with a rag or dust cloth.
  4. Help New Students

  5. You may serve as the liaison for new students, helping to acclimate them to the layout of the school and the school �s social climate. You may also take work to sick or injured students who have missed class.
  6. Lists

  7. You may help create a class telephone and email list and may use an attendance list to take daily attendance. You may also help recruit people into elective classes if there are empty spaces.
  8. Discipline

  9. As class monitor, you may also help the teacher promote discipline and peace in the classroom. You may be given the power to send students to the principal, to detention or to another authority within the school when students misbehave. You will also be given a school policy book so that you can help enforce the school rules.
