At Selkirk we use a program call Safe Arrival/School Messenger to report Absences.
This App makes it easy for you to report your child’s absence or report your child’s absence in advance 24/7.
Option 1- Use the SafeArrival website, https://go.schoolmessenger.com, select Sign Up to create your account. Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (or from the links at https://go.schoolmessenger.com). The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account.
Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
Option 2 - Call the toll-free number 1-833-566-1224 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.
Selkirk Secondary will use SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system to contact parents whose child is absent when the absence was not reported in advance of 9:00am on the morning your student is away. If your student's absence has been reported before 9:00 am you will not receive a notification.
