March 30, 2021 Dear Parents/Guardians, At Cariboo Chilcotin School District No. 27 one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely at school each and every day. 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 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. 2. Use the SafeArrival website, https://go.schoolmessenger.com. 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 1 (833) 582-6944 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. In addition, we will use the SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system to contact parents whose child is absent when the absence was not reported in advance. The automated notification system will attempt to contact parents at multiple contact points until a reason is submitted for the absence. If our system is unable to reach the contacts, office staff will follow up. If you report your child’s absence in advance using the SafeArrival toll-free number, website or mobile app, you will NOT receive these notifications. Starting April 8, 2021 please report absences in advance using SafeArrival instead of sending notes or calling/emailing the school. If you have children attending other schools, please continue to report absences using the existing procedures for those schools. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we implement this new system. The Lake City Secondary Metal Shop would like to thank Cariboo Steel & Machine Ltd. for its continuous support of our programs and efforts at the school throughout the years. Cariboo Steel & Machine Ltd. has made a recent donation of materials that will allow our students to take on new, challenging, and exciting projects that would not be possible otherwise. LCSS staff and students would like to thank Cariboo Steel & Machine Ltd. for their contributions and generosity. Our school looks forward to providing youth with educational and hands-on experiences well into the future.
