We have begun work on our project! We are starting off by creating attendance sheets that can be exported by PDF from the webpage. We found a tool called pdfkit that is open source to aid us in this task. Our primary goals coming up are to work with the database to extract the exact attendance information, and then we will go from there!

EDIT: After careful consideration, we switched to wkhtmltopdf as it better suits our needs.
