SMK Swasta Satria 1 Binjai is doing recording student's daily absence on paper. The recording of students' daily absences on paper has indeed been able to accommodate the needs of the school. However, the perceived difficulty is at the time will be done recap attendance students that require a long time. These daily attendance records also do not allow parents to monitor the presence of their children in school. A student's attendance will be notified monthly to the student's parents and this can be a problem when a student has not been to school for a long time, whereas the parents' knowledge, their child attends schooling. Considering the reason for the ease of recap of student attendance and to facilitate the parent in monitoring the presence of their child in school hence required a student attendance information system. Student absenteeism information systems are web-based so they can also be accessed by parents without having to go to school and parents can monitor their child's presence every day through telecommunication devices such as mobile phones connected to the internet. The research method used in this research is SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) method which is a very good design methodology because it identifies well the needs of the user. The results of the study are expected to answer the needs of the school will be easy to recap attendance of students and also the needs of the parents to monitor the presence of their children in the learning process.
