ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGIATE

January 2025 Final Exam Schedule

To enhance our existing absence-checking procedure, we are introducing a new, more efficient student absence reporting system called SafeArrival. This new system will reduce the time it takes to verify student attendance, make it easy for you to report your child’s absence, and easy for staff to respond to unexplained student absences.

With SafeArrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:

1. Using your mobile device, download and install the School Messenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (or from the links at go.schoolmessenger.ca). The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.

2. Use the SafeArrival website (go.schoolmessenger.ca). The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.

3. Call the toll-free number (844) 408-9360 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

Please note that the system does not offer an option for a partial day absence. If your child will be absent for any part of the day, please enter it as a full-day absence and our staff will make any attendance changes when your child arrives at school and signs in at our office.

Any questions regarding safe arrival can be forwarded to princeofwales@nlschools.ca
