Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan sistem absensi siswa berbasis teknologi Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) yang terintegrasi dengan notifikasi WhatsApp secara otomatis kepada orang tua. Program ini dilaksanakan di SMK Negeri 5 Gorontalo sebagai upaya modernisasi sistem administrasi sekolah dan peningkatan keterlibatan orang tua dalam memantau kehadiran siswa. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi survei kebutuhan, perancangan alat dan sistem, instalasi, pelatihan penggunaan, serta uji coba lapangan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa sistem RFID mampu mencatat kehadiran siswa secara cepat, akurat, dan real-time. Notifikasi WhatsApp berhasil dikirim otomatis setiap kali siswa melakukan absensi, sehingga orang tua dapat langsung mengetahui kehadiran anak di sekolah. Guru dan staf tata usaha menyatakan sistem ini sangat membantu dalam proses rekap data absensi serta mengurangi penggunaan kertas. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini memberikan solusi teknologi tepat guna yang efisien, ramah lingkungan, dan aplikatif, serta berpotensi untuk direplikasi di sekolah lain sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap transformasi digital di dunia pendidikan.
This community service program aims to implement a student attendance monitoring system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) integrated with automatic WhatsApp notifications to parents. The activity was conducted at SMK Negeri 5 Gorontalo as part of efforts to modernize school administration systems and enhance parental involvement in monitoring student attendance. The implementation method included needs assessment, system and device design, installation, user training, and field testing. The results showed that the RFID system successfully recorded student attendance quickly, accurately, and in real time. WhatsApp notifications were automatically sent each time a student checked in, allowing parents to instantly receive attendance updates. Teachers and administrative staff reported that the system significantly simplified the attendance recap process and reduced paper usage. Overall, this program provided an efficient, environmentally friendly, and applicable technological solution, supporting digital transformation in schools. The developed system has strong potential to be replicated in other educational institutions as an example of appropriate technology application in vocational education.
