For my 8th grade tech class, i want to build an arduino attendance program for the tech class. There are 6 classes each day, and I want to find a way to log all of them. I want the kids to type in their student ID, and them the arduino will log them in. Then the teacher can just look at a computer that was hooked up nearby, and know who is absent. Is there a possible way to do this?

Of course it is possible. The question should be is it practical for you to begin this project and complete it in the few months you have left.
Be aware, you will need to ensure your classmates are totally honest and never type in another student's id.
How much experience do you have with Arduino and programming and electronics?

What about a RFID reader where you have to scan something like your school pass, which will be data logged to a SD card or even better to an online web server?
