Student Absences

At Glenbow School, one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely at school each and every day.

If your child is going to be absent, please use SafeArrival to report their absence to the school. You can report your child’s absence in advance using any of these three 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 1-833-244-5565 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 the event that your child is absent and not accounted for, you will be contacted by our automated system.

If you need to pick up your child during school hours, enter through the main doors and sign your child out on the Ipad, we will call your child down to the office. If you are returning your child to school following an appointment or arriving late to school, please sign them in on the Ipad at the office.

Students are not allowed to leave the school premises at any time unless they are picked up by a parent or legal guardian and signed out.
