School Messenger / Safe Arrival

Parents, guardians and caregivers are required to inform the school of any absences or lateness. They are expected to use the School Messenger system to report an absence or late arrival.  You must provide your primary email address to the school in order to receive updates and use the parent portal.  Do not send a note with your child as we have had issues with the child forgetting to give the note to the educator in the classroom which creates confusion at the end of the day when we are loading the bus or sending children to child care.

  • Web and Mobile Web – go to schoolmessenger.ca. Click Sign Up to create your account; select Attendance from the menu, and then select Report Absence.
  • Interactive Toll-free Phone – Call the toll-free, interactive telephone system at 1-844-506-4350.
  • Absences can be reported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Complete the September information sheet indicating the appropriate phone numbers to be called in the case of an unexplained student absence.  This is automated and calls will be made until you contact the school and we know that your child is safe.
