SafeArrival Pre-Announcement Text

Websites and Newsletters

We are committed to ensuring the safe arrival of all our students to school every day. To enhance our safe arrival process, we are implementing a new system that will simplify the reporting and handling of student absences.

The new student absence reporting system allows you to report an absence in advance using a mobile app, a website, or an interactive toll-free phone line. This will help the school verify student attendance more quickly and notify parents and guardians promptly about unexpected or unplanned absences.

This time savings makes it faster and more efficient to account for all students and their safety.

If your student is marked absent and the absence has not been explained in advance, our new SafeArrival system will be able to instantly contact you by automated phone call, text message, email, or mobile app push notification to get a reason for the absence. The system will continue to contact you until you choose an option to explain the absence.

This new, automated SafeArrival process is part of our SchoolMessenger notification system from PowerSchool, and our new SchoolMessenger Home mobile app for iOS and Android devices. It will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make it convenient for you to report future absences.

You will soon receive more details on how to sign up for SafeArrival and we look forward to all families taking part.
