Safe Arrival and Absence Reporting System

At St. Marguerite d’Youville, one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely to school each and every day. In order to report your child(ren)’s absence, you are required to access our Safe Arrival program. The Safe Arrival program allows parents and guardians to report their child’s absence in advance, or before bell time for the current day, in one of three ways:

1.Call the Toll Free Safe Arrival Phone Number 1-855-856-7862 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

2.Use the Safe Arrival SchoolMessenger website:  go.schoolmessenger.ca  

Note:  The first time you use this website, select Sign Up and choose Canada to create your account. To report an absence, select Attendance followed by Report an Absence.

  1. Use your mobile device to download the SchoolMessenger App from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Note: The first time you use the APP, select Sign Up and choose Canada to create your account. To report an absence, select Attendance followed by Report an Absence.

All methods will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Therefore future absences may be reported ahead of time (i.e.; appointment, vacation, etc).

As part of this program, we also use an automated notification system that will contact parents and guardians who have not reported their child absent. By reporting your child absence in advance or before bell time using the Safe Arrival 1-855 number or Safe Arrival School Messenger website, you will not receive a call.
