School Management System

A SaaS platform for schools to manage students, attendance, exams, communication, and role based dashboards. It solves the daily admin problem by putting school operations into one structured system.

Building a school management system that actually works for schools — not just looks good in a demo — required deeply understanding the operational reality of how schools function day to day. Attendance has to be taken class by class, period by period. Grades need to support different grading systems. Parents need a portal that shows them exactly what they care about — their child's attendance, marks, and upcoming exams — without overwhelming them with administrative noise. Getting role-based access right was critical: an admin sees everything, a teacher sees only their classes, a student sees only their own data, and a parent sees only their child.

I designed the system around four distinct user roles — Admin, Teacher, Student, and Parent — each with a completely separate dashboard and permission scope. Auth.js v4 handles secure role-based authentication. The backend is built on Node.js with Express.js, using MongoDB for flexible schema design that accommodates different school structures. The frontend is Next.js with Tailwind CSS — fast, responsive, and clean enough for non-technical school staff to use without training.

• Multi-tenant architecture — multiple schools, isolated data
• Student enrollment and comprehensive profile management
• Daily attendance tracking — class and subject level
• Grade and marks management with configurable grading
• Exam scheduling and academic timetable management
• Automated report card generation
• Parent communication portal
• Role-based access — Admin, Teacher, Student, Parent
• Auth.js v4 secure authentication and session management
• Responsive design for desktop and mobile access

The School Management System is a fully functional, production-ready SaaS platform that demonstrates my ability to design and build complex, multi-tenant software products from scratch. The platform is available for deployment by individual schools or as a white-labeled solution for education technology companies.
