Spring 2021, NEW! ABSENCE REPORTING – SafeArrival -  

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has implemented a new student absence reporting system that will make it easier for you to report your child’s absence from school.With SafeArrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of the following three convenient options: ( If you prefer a printable copy of these instructions, it is available below.  Please scroll down to end of this message to access).

1. Using your mobile device, download and install the　SchoolMessenger app　from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (or from the links at　https://go.schoolmessenger.ca/#/home

The first time you use the app, select　Sign Up　to create your account.

Select　Attendance　then　Report an Absence.

2. Use the SafeArrival website,　https://go.schoolmessenger.ca/#/home  .  The first time you use the website, select　Sign Up　to create your account. Select　Attendance　then　Report an Absence.

3. Call the toll-free number　1-844-435-3440　to report an absence using the automated phone system.

  • These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week.
  • Future absences can be reported at any time.
  • NOTE: For absences greater than five consecutive days, please call your child’s school directly.

Please report absences in advance using　SafeArrival　instead of sending notes or calling/emailing the school.

  • Please note there is a change to the current process of communicating unexplained absences to the parents/guardians of secondary school students.
  • The notifications for unexplained absences will still be sent out at 6:00 p.m., however you will now receive an early notification through the SafeArrival system, if your child has an unexplained absence from period 1.
  • Also new, Parents/guardians will be able to provide a reason for that day’s absence up until 11:00 p.m. using one of the three options listed above.
  • As always, the expectation is that you report your child’s absence in advance to avoid receiving notifications of unexplained absences.

Helpful resources for using the new SafeArrival absence reporting system have been posted on your school’s webpage under the　Quick Links > NEW Process for Reporting Student Absences.
