The student absence report system will allow the school to verify student attendance, and quickly notify parents and guardians of absences that were unexpected or unplanned.
Report your child's absence in advance with 3 convenient methods:
1. On a mobile device, install the District App (search "Greater St. Albert Schools" in the Apple App or Google Play stores).
- Select SafeArrival - Attendance - Report an Absence. (Please note to sign up for School Messenger SafeArrival it is best to use a computer. Your account MUST be verified with 24 hours)
2. On the SafeArrival website, go.schoolmessenger.ca
- Sign up to create your account, then select Attendance followed by Report an Absence.
3. Call the toll-free number 1-844-818-9908 to report an absence using the automated phone system.
If your student is marked absent and it is not explained in advance, the SafeArrival system will send notifications by automated phone calls, text message, email, or mobile app push notification to get a reason for the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designed contacts, office staff will follow up. Calls will continue for up to 20 minutes or until you choose an option to explain the absence. Please listen to the end of the phone message.
It is important to always have you up to date information on file. Contact the school office to confirm.
