We all know that while driving, the driver must not attend calls or texts but with our app, they don't have to attend calls from parents as it automatically sends all the necessary information to them.

Now, let us take a look at the numerous features of this app: 1) Mark Attendance - Through this parent app, you can mark attendance to inform the drivers whether your kid is coming to school or not.
