Attendance Reporting
SafeArrival – Reporting Student Absences
To enhance our existing absence-checking procedure, we are introducing a new, more efficient student absence reporting system called SafeArrival. This new system will reduce the time it takes to verify student attendance, make it easy for you to report your child’s absence and easy for staff to respond to unexplained student absences.
TIPS & TRICKS for smooth account set up:
When creating your account, make sure you are using the email address that we have on file for you. It is recommended that you create your account on the School Messenger website (top right hand corner) before downloading the app. You can't be logged into the website and the app at the same time while creating your account. If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact the school office at 780-986-5991 or [email protected]
With SafeArrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:
1) On your mobile device:
a) Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger Home app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Download the app with the icon above.
b) The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account.
c) Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
2) Use the SchoolMessenger website:
a) Go to the SchoolMessenger website. The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account.
b) Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
3) By telephone:
a) Call the toll-free number 780-955-4526 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.
The automated notification system will attempt to contact parents at multiple contact points (email, text, push notification & phone call) until a reason is submitted for the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designated contacts, office staff will follow up.
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.
