Reporting an Absence

Click on “Attendance

Click “Manage your PIN Settings”

Select your students, enter a unique 4-digit PIN (The 4-digit PIN is used for all listed students, when reporting an absence)

and click Save

Through assigning a PIN, this number will need to be entered before any absence can be reported or explained when using the SafeArrival phone number (833) 306-2461. This provides an additional layer of security and also prevents students from reporting their own absences.

Click on “Report an Absence” select your student, select the type of absence, select absence reason, select date of absence, enter comment(not required), add attachment(not required) (ex: Doctors note), and click “Send.”
