INTRODUCTION

Attendance is the act or fact of attending (being present at) work. Also, it is used to define the number of persons present on a particular day at work (Heartfield, n.d.). Currently, the system of getting the attendance is manual the teacher calls the name of a student either raises his/her hand or signifies presence in class. After that, the teacher marks the student as either present or absent. In using the manual system, schools have limited responsibility in providing a security among their students. Moreover, guardians are not updated of their child’s attendance in school.
According to Lucido (2011), an attendance monitoring system serves as a time log that is set up as a computerized database. An attendance monitoring system maintains a daily time record of a person’s arrival and departure from work or school. Due to lack of security in schools, students are not afraid to cut their classes or sometimes go home late as their guardians are not informed of their schedules.
The researchers developed Attendance Monitoring System using Biometrics and SMS Technology for Private High School to solve problems in the manual system. Furthermore, it can organize and give an accurate attendance of students. It can also inform guardians about the arrival and departure of their child in school through SMS.

Objectives of the study
The general objective of the study was to develop the attendance monitoring system using biometrics and SMS technology for private high school.
Specifically, it aimed to:
1. design an attendance monitoring system of private high school with the following features:
a. biometrics utilization for attendance monitoring system;
b. SMS technology for giving information to guardian about the time of arrival and departure from school of their child;
c. system could store, retrieve
