The safety of students is a very great priority for any educational institution, more so when the students are young and in many ways vulnerable. Therefore, the leveraging of technology in the provision of a notification service for parents on their children’s whereabouts during transit to and from school will play a big part in assuring parents of their children’s safety.

The envisioned solution works with RFID cards, RFID readers in buses, GPS and GSM technologies to achieve the following broad objectives:
• Tracking of school buses in real-time whenever out of the school compound
• Providing on-demand and regular notifications to parents on children’s arrival at School and departure from school
• Maintaining an attendance record
