This is the attendance system I made for my school. It was used for about half a semester stably but was later dropped because the school's IT department decided the services this utilized was not suitable to our school's infrastructure.
I also created a much more robust version 2 with MySQL, but was never presented.
- Flask
- Mailgun (for FORGET password)
- v1 only technologies
- Pyrebase (Firebase Realtime Database + Authentication)
- v2 only technologies
- MySQL
- Flask_Admin
- SQL Alchemy
- OpenPyXL
- v1 Screenshots are avaliable at my website
This is a link to the slides I used to present the system to our teachers
After collecting feedback on v1, I created v2 with the intention of making teachers' lives easier. It's a shame v2 did not make it to production.
Main improvements include:
- Din-Shin (This is our school's special grading system, where every teacher can give a score on a scale of 1-5 depending on how the students behave in that period)
- This can save another piece of paper
- Pre-recorded absence
- The student's affairs office can record absence ahead of time
- Different absent types
- A student will have many reasons for their absence: sick, official, etc.
- A robust database manager powered by Flask-Admin
- Everyone has their individual note area (not share a big area)
- Substitute class
- Sometimes even teachers have things to deal with. They can switch classes with other teachers, and the attendance system will still work fine.
- Student have their own account for checking their records and make sure everything is correct.
- Group classes are "grouped" into one button instead of appearing separately in the dropdown.
