Archive management in elementary schools is still dominated by manual methods, which pose risks of inefficiency, document loss, and low traceability. This community service activity aims to enhance the competence of School Administrative Staff (TAS) in Elementary Schools (SD) across the Sukun District, Malang City, through the transformation of digital-based archive management. The methods employed included lectures, brainstorming, hands-on practice (learning by doing) using the System Tracking Archive Responsive (STAR) application, simulations, mentoring, as well as pre-test and post-test evaluations via Google Forms. The training spanned a total of 32 lesson hours, involving 70 participants, and commenced with partner coordination, followed by core activities including: material delivery, system development practice, follow-up actions, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The results of the community service demonstrated a significant increase in competence: the average score rose from 81.30 (SD 6.86) in the pre-test to 87.56 (SD 8.50) in the post-test, with 38.57% of participants achieving the "excellent" category after the training. Despite encountering challenges related to hardware infrastructure and school readiness, the majority of participants were able to operate the system effectively. It is concluded that archive digitalization strengthens the efficiency, security, and accountability of school administration and is worthy of sustainable adoption, supported by further training and infrastructure investment
