sledzic co robia, sledzic ich losy, sledzic ich poczynania


Explanation:
sledzic is a good word for "keep track" but you can then specify what you want to be "sledzone."

Explanation:
you want to keep track of them so you could organize a reunion of the class of '96 some years from now. If you suspect mischief and want to keep track of say potential hijackers, I'd go for Robert's śledzenie. Śledzenie smacks a bit of Big Brother watching, doesn't it? So, yes, context IS important.
