Abstract. The progress of an educational institution is highly influenced by the quality of the systems it implements, one of which is the student attendance system. Currently, geofencing technology has become an innovative solution to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of attendance systems, especially with the integration of notifications to parents. However, SMK Islamic Center Baiturrahman Semarang still uses a conventional attendance system that has not yet adopted this technology. Therefore, this research aims to design and implement a Geofencing-based Student Attendance System integrated with parents to improve transparency and accuracy in student attendance. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), which includes stages of needs analysis, system design, development, and product effectiveness testing. The results of this research are expected to provide an effective technological solution for SMK Islamic Center Baiturrahman Semarang in improving the quality of student attendance management and strengthening collaboration between the school and parents. With the implementation of this system, it is hoped that a more transparent, efficient, and technology-responsive educational environment can be created.
