Beginning on January 5, our school will be using SafeArrival to report student absences. SafeArrival is designed to make it easier, faster, and more convenient for families to report absences and late arrivals.
With SafeArrival, there’s no need to call the school and leave a message. Instead, you can quickly and securely report your child’s absence in one of three ways:
Using the SM Home App: Download and install the SM Home app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Online: Visit home.schoolmessenger.ca.
Phone: Call the toll-free number 1-844-478-2598 and follow the prompts.
Further detailed instructions are available on the OCSB website.
School Attendance Support
Please take a few moments to read the Parents Lifeline Easter Ontario (PLEO) brochure that discusses what you can do for your child in regards to their attendance in the following languages. English | French | Arabic | Chinese | Somali Brochures
While most kids miss school from time to time, school attendance concerns can show up in different ways, such as being late, leaving school early, or missing school frequently or chronically. There is no 'one size fits all' solution for supporting your child. This guide aims to help you rethink your child's challenges and understand your options. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher to discuss your child’s struggles to come to school regularly.
