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. Just in case, if your kid is not attending the school on some day then mark absent in this application so that the driver does not miss the pick-up of your kid.
