The Halifax Regional Centre for Education has launched a more efficient absence management system called SchoolMessenger SafeArrival. This system allows you to use a mobile app, a website, or an interactive toll-free phone line to report an absence in advance. It enhances student safety, verifies absences in a timely manner, and improves notification time with parents and guardians.

The SchoolMessenger SafeArrival system is the only way you can report your child’s absence.

These options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If your child is marked absent and the absence has not been reported in advance, our SchoolMessenger system will attempt to reach you to confirm the absence.

There are three ways you can report your child’s absence.

1.       Using the SchoolMessenger App

2.       Using the SchoolMessenger Web Portal

3.       Using a Toll-Free Phone Line

Please see the attached on how to report student absences.
