The academic success of a student and the school as a whole is significantly influenced by student

attendance. Most of the schools in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya are using a manual process to monitor the
student’s attendance (using paper sheets) is not efficient and it is also time consuming— the
researchers proposed to be developed and implemented a computerized system that will be named
Attendance Monitoring System Using Barcode with SMS notification project. The target of this system is
to monitor the daily student attendance and to inform parents about the attendance of their children.
This system will be fully computerized and also apply a new communication technology called SMS. All
of the daily students’ attendance will be saved in a specific database. When the students insert their IDs
into the barcode reader , the teacher will no longer have to worry about the monitoring attendance and
it will automatically generate a message that will be sent to the hand phone via SMS. This system, the
student discipline problems will be zero defects in attendance context and the parents will be informed
if the student escapes in school. This system also will make the school management system to be more
systematic, efficient and smoothly processed.
