I-Attend is a smart attendance system targeted at secondary school administrators and teachers. The purpose of this project is to develop a smart attendance system integrated with RFID technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of attendance tracking. The research problems investigated include the challenges associated with the traditional method of attendance systems, such as time consumption, proneness to error, and difficulties in data retrieval due to the size of the student population. The study seeks to address these issues by proposing a technological solution that enhances the attendance process for administrators and teachers. This project design involves the development of a web-based attendance tracking system that utilises RFID technology and cloud computing. The I-Attend employs functionality testing and usability testing, revealing a mean score of 4.57, indicating a high level of satisfaction, and achieving a score of 4.71 for its ease of use. To conclude, the I-Attend effectively addresses the limitations of traditional attendance tracking methods. The positive feedback and high satisfaction from users show that the system not only meets the specific needs of administrators and teachers but also enhances the efficiency of overall attendance management in secondary schools
