Due to the inefficiency of the current manual system, the need arises to automate SIMS in order to efficiently handle student related matters. The main goal of the proposed system is to minimized the time wastage that occur in the current manual system as well as make the process more efficient with reduce work load to each person who interact with the system. This Web Based Student Information Management System (WBSIMS) allows users to maintain almost all of the students, staff and parents information electronically. The Web Based Student Information Management System (WBSIMS) is designed and developed to overcome some problems and inefficiencies of the current manual system. This system covers overall management processes of the school, such as: Maintain the information of Student, Parent and Staff, Keeping records of Attendance, Managing Payments, Sending Notifications to Parents/Students via the System and E-mail, Preparing Class, Exam and Teachers Timetable and Report Generation.

In addition Dia software used to draw Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams shown in this dissertation.
