Attendance

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.

Technologies used

• Flask
• Mailgun (for FORGET password)
• v1 only technologies
  • Pyrebase (Firebase Realtime Database + Authentication)
• v2 only technologies
  • MySQL
  • Flask_Admin
  • SQL Alchemy
  • OpenPyXL

v1 Screenshots

• v1 Screenshots are avaliable at my website

v2 Improvements

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.
