Message From the Principal
We are excited to announce that our 2 new portables have arrived! Over the next 2-3 weeks they will be set-up for occupancy, and we hope to be able to use them before the end of November. Our Grade 4s and our Empower program have been very patiently waiting for this moment to arrive!
Please remember, Monday, November 1st is a PA Day. Staff will be engaged in professional learning and planning.
Lastly, Happy Diwali on Thursday to those of you who celebrate!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Aaron West
Principal

Siblings At School With COVID Symptoms

How to report a student absence using SafeArrival
There are three ways you can report your student’s absence in advance:
1. Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger blue app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or from School Messenger website or you can select it from within the LDSB mobile app. The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Make sure you use the same email address your child’s school has on file. If you do not use that same email address, you will not be able to create an account. You may have already created an account when we introduced the Communicate broadcast system. Select Attendance, then Report an Absence.
2. Use the School Messenger website. The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account. Please ensure you use the same email address your student’s school has on file. If you do not use that same email address, you will not be able to create an account. You may have already created an account when we introduced the Communicate broadcast system. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
3. Call 1-855-257-9349 toll-free to report an absence using the automated phone system.
***Please do not call the school directly to report your student's absence***
