3 Ways to Report
App, website, or telephone
Available 24/7
Report an absence anytime
Report in Advance
Future absences may also be submitted
Parents and guardians who report an absence using SafeArrival will
not receive a call from the automated attendance system
for that reported absence.
A SafeArrival submission also serves as the student's absence note,
so an additional absence note is not required.
