School Messenger App - Safe Arrival is a new system that makes reporting student absences easier and faster. We hope to have all parents using this system for reporting absences as soon as possible. Because this is new for staff and parents, we appreciate your patience as we all familiarize ourselves with this new system. Families will need to download the "School Messenger" app to create their account here and further information is available here.  Please ensure you use the phone number and email address that is associated with your child in PowerSchool. Thank you to all the families who’ve already used the Safe Arrival system and School Messenger App to report their child’s absence and know that you do not need to notify the school separately if the absence has been entered in Safe Arrival. Please contact the office with any questions.
