NRHS is now using the Safe Arrival student attendance system through the School Messenger App.
Safe Arrival is a phone app that allows parents and guardians to notify the school in advance about an upcoming absence or rapidly respond to excuse an absence after the fact. In both situations, parents can send attendance alerts to schools for all of their children and provide a reason for each absence – all in one simple communication.
With Safe Arrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:
- Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store
- Use the SafeArrival website, go.schoolmessenger.ca.
- Call the toll-free number [1-833-578-0533] 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.
ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATIONS The automated notification system will contact parents whose child is absent without notification. Families, who have not reported their child’s absence, will receive an attendance notice at 5:30 p.m., and have until 10:00 p.m. to submit a reason for their child’s absence. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we implement this new system.
