Reporting a Student Absence

To report your child absent we have a District Safe Arrival program. These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week.  Future absences can be reported at any time. 

You can use one of the following options:

Option 1:  Download and install the SchoolMessenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.  The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account.  Select Attendance then Report an Absence.

Option 2:  Use the SafeArrival website at https://www.sd33.bc.ca/safearrival.  The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account.  Select Attendance then Report an Absence.

Option 3:  Call the toll-free number 1-833-698-6567 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

If you don’t want to receive notifications when your child is absent, be sure to report your child’s absence in advance.

If you do receive notification of your child’s absence, be sure to provide the reason as quickly as possible, using one of the 3 methods listed above or during the phone call notification itself. 

If you cannot set up your account, you do not see the ATTENDANCE option, or you do not see your child(ren) listed in your account, please email the school (leary@sd33.bc.ca) to check that your correct email address is associated with your child(ren).
