Hi and welcome to Android Forums.
To start with, have a read through this thread, which contains some useful information for beginners to Android

If you haven't used Java before, then your first step would be to learn this programming language.
Then download the Android development tools and familiarise yourself with these.

That should keep you busy for a while. Once you grasp the basics, you should start thinking about how to implement the student information system. Questions you should ask yourself are:-

1. Do I need an app? As the current system is a website, would you be better implementing mobile friendly web pages?
2. If you do decide on an app, how will it it communicate with the server back end? I presume the existing system has a database.
3. Related to 2), look into RESTful web services

But it really depends on the requirements of your app, so it's important to get this clear at an early stage.
