Entering your child’s absence
- Absences (full day, late arrivals, or early dismissals) may be scheduled in advance (ex. scheduled dr. appt.) or on the day of the absence.
- If your child has been absent for three (3) consecutive days, on the fourth absence, the system will not accept your submission and you must contact your child’s school office.
- The system will be reset after the fourth absence, and SafeArrival can be used again.
Revising or Canceling an Absence
SafeArrival only allows revisions/cancellations for present or future dates. It is not possible to revise/cancel an absence for a previous day. If you missed making a change, please contact your child’s school office.
SafeArrival phone number
- Save the SafeArrival phone number (833) 306-2461 as “SafeArrival” contact in your phone. Doing this makes it easy to have the toll-free number on hand and to easily report an absence (if not using the app). It is also helpful to see “SafeArrival” as a contact if the school is calling to verify an unreported absence.
- If your child will be late or missing only part of the day, report the absence as a full day and when the student arrives at school the attendance will be adjusted.
SchoolMessenger Communicate
We use SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system to contact parents/guardians whose child is absent but an absence was not reported.
- The automated notification system will attempt to contact parents by both phone and email on the day of the absence only until a reason is submitted for the absence.
- If you report your child’s absence in advance using SafeArrival, you will NOT receive automated notifications.
- If the system is unable to reach the designated contact or you do not enter an absence for that day, the absence will remain unexcused unless you send an excuse note to your child’s school office within three (3) days of the absence.
