Safe Arrival Absence Reporting Procedure

At St. Justin Martyr’, one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely to school everyday. In order to report your child(ren)’s absence or late, you are required to access our Safe Arrival Program.

The Safe Arrival Program allows parents and guardians to report their child(ren)’s absence or late in advance, or before bell time for the current day. The York Catholic District School Board has implemented an enhanced Safe Arrival Program through a platform called SchoolMessenger, which includes a new website and APP.

Parents/guardians can report their child(ren) as late or absence using any of the 3 methods below:
 Call the Toll Free Safe Arrival Phone Number 1-855-856-7862 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

 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.

 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.
These options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Future absences can be reported at any time.

If any of your contact information changes, please contact our school office immediately with the updated details. Should you have any questions in regards to the Safe Arrival Program, please do not hesitate to contact the
school office.
