School Messenger/Safe Arrvial
We are using an absence reporting system called SafeArrival. This system is available 24/7 so if your student is up in the middle of the night sick and you know they are not going to be coming to school, simply report their absence at that time and allow everyone to get some sleep the next morning. When you book an appointment, you can also enter it into the system right away and you won't have to remember to excuse your student when the appointment day roles around.
With SafeArrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:
1. Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store go.schoolmessenger.ca (CANADA). The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
2. Use the SafeArrival website, go.schoolmessenger.ca (CANADA). The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
3. Call the toll-free number 833-657-6535 to report an absence using the automated phone system.
These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. Future absences can be reported at any time.
In addition, we will use the SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system to contact parents whose child is absent when the absence was not reported in advance. The automated notification system will attempt to contact parents at multiple contact points until a reason is submitted for the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designated contacts, office staff will follow up (for students in K-6).
If you report your child’s absence in advance using the SafeArrival toll-free number, website or mobile app, you will NOT receive these notifications.
