Children are our most precious asset. As a duty, it becomes our responsibility to look after their good being in all
possible ways.
In today’s time, most of families have both the parents working and they have busy schedule starting from
morning till late in the evening.
Due to busy schedules parents are not able to get the information about their child.
Today most of parents are worried whether their child has reached the school or left the school in time & safely ?
Now no need to worry. Automatic Attendance comes with a technology , called ePass card.

11. the Technology…
ePass cards are prepared with a high end technology.
In ePass Technology, RFID & Global Positioning System & Wireless Wide Area Network. is used. In this system each student is
given an ID card with a microchip in which all details of the Student is stored.
When the Student enters or leave the school premises, the card will be detected by special scanner and system will send SMS
to parent’s mobile number, that your child is reached school.
Now parents can get updates about their child time to time. Which can reduce their worries.
Parents also get information like parent meeting, school result, school holiday, bus delay, homework, progress of student etc.
In India many schools are implementing this high-tech solution. This unique system has already been adopted by many
renowned schools and the process of adoption is still going on.
