Absence Reporting using SafeArrival
Ensuring students arrive safely at school each day is one of our top priorities.
Beginning fall 2021, all elementary schools at the North Vancouver School District will use SafeArrival, a student absence reporting system, to enhance schools' existing absence-checking procedures.
SafeArrival, which is part of the SchoolMessenger platform, will:
- Make it easier for parents/guardians to report their child's absence (e.g. illness, vacation, appointment).
- Reduce the time it takes school staff to verify student attendance.
- Make it more efficient for staff to respond to unreported student absences.
