Safe Arrival Absence Reporting - New at MCHS

SafeArrival is an absence-reporting and notification system that allows parents to pre-report their child’s absences anytime.  

This system is a new, more efficient way for parents to report their child’s absences. It also uses the SchoolMessenger automated notification system to contact parents when their child is absent and their absence has not been reported.

There are three methods parents can use the SafeArrival system:

• SchoolMessenger App *Recommended* – Using your mobile device, download and install the “SM Home”app (NOT ‘SchoolMessenger’ app) from the SafeArrival Web and Mobile Web – https://home.schoolmessenger.ca/.
• Log in with your credentials, or create an account
• Select Report an Absence in the top right corner of the page.
• Call 1-833-568-2538 (toll-free) to report an absence using the automated phone system (follow the prompts).

When a student is absent and it has not been explained, the system will attempt to contact parents at multiple contact points until a reason is provided for an absence.

Regular school attendance is the key to school success. If your child’s absence impacts school progress, the school will contact you in order to work together and develop a plan for student success.
