Parents play vital roles in contributing to students’ achievement. They need to be actively involved in monitoring their children’s daily performance in school. This thesis focused on the design and implementation of a web-based system for engaging teachers and parents in monitoring students’ performance. It is aimed at providing a well-designed platform for real-time communication between teachers and parents with respect to children’s daily performance in school. A discussion on the analysis of the existing system was made, and a proposed system was designed. The new system designed will go a long way in reducing the time it takes for parents to access their children’s reports in school. It creates a community-like environment where teachers and parents can interact based on the activities of the students in school. The methodology adopted for this thesis was Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Methodology (OOHDM). It was implemented using the Python programming language and Django Framework was used as the database tool.
