Our school uses SafeArrival to report student absences. SafeArrival is designed to make it easier, faster, and more convenient for families to report absences and late arrivals.

With SafeArrival, there’s no need to call the school and leave a message. Instead, you can quickly and securely report your child’s absence in one of three ways:

• Using the SM Home App: Download and install the SM Home app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

• Online: Visit home.schoolmessenger.ca.

• Phone: Call the toll-free number 1-844-478-2598 and follow the prompts.

Further detailed instructions are available on the OCSB website.

How to sign a student out early:

• Provide a written note to your child indicating what time they are being signed out that day. The student will show this to their teacher to dismiss them from class

OR

• Call 613-820-9705 in the morning. The sign-out will be input into our system for the classroom teacher to see. 

Please note that the office will only interrupt a class in the event of an emergency to call a student down to sign out. Please remember that lunch time is unstructured time and students cannot be located during the lunch period. Phys Ed classes are often outside or participating in activities that make it hard to track down students. Please ensure that plans are discussed with your student prior to coming to school so they are prepared to sign out at the requested time.

IMPORTANT: All students must report to the Main Office prior to leaving the school.
