It �s "take the roll" or "take attendance".

Isn �t the register a book where you keep attendance and assessment records? Here �s what you can find in the Oxford Advanced Learner �s Dictionary: (British English) The teacher called the register (= checked who was present at school). Sophia |

In British English �take the register � is fine. It �s when you call out all the names and note down who �s there. That �s what I say when I start a lesson �ok guys, let �s take the register � :) |

Roll-call is what I�ve always used, which means "a process of calling out a list of names to establish who is present."
Happy dreams.
