Companion: A Convenient Mobile Application For School Students Attendance, Registration, Notice, Bus Schedule, Complaint, and Parent Alert Services

By educating students and preparing them for the future job market, schools play a crucial role in their lives. Attendance taking, course registration, fee collection, class schedules, notices, exam results publication, parent alerts, midday meals, and complaint inspection services are among the fundamental school-related tasks. The existing work on school-related services is provided offline, which is costly in terms of both time and money. By considering issues like attendance, registration, school fee payment, notification, class schedule, bus schedule publication, parent alert, and complaint services, there is a lack of practical online-based assistance systems and applications for school children in Bangladesh. The research problem of how to assist schoolchildren by developing a mobile app with multiple features is missing in the literature. This paper delivers a convenient mobile app for aiding schoolchildren in resolving these current challenges. The proposed online-based mobile application includes features like attendance taking and checking, course registration, school fee payment, daily parent alerts, bus schedules, exam/class schedule notifications, exam result checking, and compliant facilities. The application rating analysis revealed that more than 62% of reviewers are satisfied with the app's design, and more than 65% of reviewers gave commendable comments regarding the planned app features.
