Absences and Late Arrivals
In the interest of student safety and effective programming, it is important that student absences are accounted for in all schools of the Rainy River District School Board.
SafeArrival System
Parents are asked to please report all full-day absences, extended student absences (up to 3 consecutive days), and late arrivals through the School Messenger SafeArrival System. Absences can be reported using the SafeArrival System 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the school year.
- Call toll-free 1-844-424-2112
- Use the website (you will need to create an account if you haven’t already)
- Use the SM Home App (once you have created an account on the website, we encourage you to download the app).
** Please note that there are no fees associated with the SafeArrival System. Learn more about School Messenger and the SafeArrival system.
Should you need to report a planned absence in excess of three days, please contact the school directly at 807-488-5587.
Student Pick-Ups
If your student is being picked up due to early dismissal, illness, or an appointment, they must be signed out at the main office. If the person picking them up is not on the student's regular contact list, permission from the parent/guardian is required and identification may be requested.
