School Messenger SafeArrival Line Number & Instructions

Dear Parents/Guardians,

One of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely at school each and every day.  Our school will be implementing a new way to report absences through SchoolMessenger.  As of Thursday, September 1, you will be able to report future absences using an app, website, or toll-free phone number.  Starting on Wednesday, September 7, if your student is absent and the absence has not been reported in advance, you will receive notifications via email, text, and phone calls from SchoolMessenger. 

To report your student absent, you can use any of the following methods:

PowerSchool Parent/Student Portal:

Parents/guardians can log in to https://sishrsb.ednet.ns.ca/public/ to access the link to the SchoolMessenger website to report future absences.  

SchoolMessenger App:

Parents/guardians can download the SchoolMessenger app for Android and iOS devices, create an account and use their email that the school has on record for them as their username 

Toll-Free Number:

Parents/guardians can call 1-833-582-6940 to report future absences using an automated system. 

All three methods are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Absences can be reported at any time before the start of school on the day the student will be absent.  Up to five consecutive absences can be recorded at once.

If you have students 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 tool.  Please visit https://wwwhrce.ca/SafeArrival and/or view this HRCE YouTube Video for more information.
