Dear Munden Park families,

Beginning Sept. 6, 2016, the Peel District School Board will implement a new automated absence reporting system for all students in its elementary schools. All parents/guardians will need to report their children’s full-day absences, late arrivals and/or early departures from school via a new SafeArrivalsystem.

SafeArrivalwill allow you to report your child(ren)’s absences quickly and conveniently in one of three ways:

  1. You can call into an automated, interactive telephone system via a toll free number—
    1-855-209-6155.
  2. You can log into a website, pdsb.schoolconnects.com, to access a SafeArrival Parent Portal.

An account can be set up to report absences.

  1. You can download the SafeArrivalmobile application for Apple and Android devices.

Parents who have provided the school with an email address, will receive an email invitation from Synrevoice Technologies during the week of August 29. The invitation will include login information. Starting the week of August 29, parents who do not have an email address on file at the school can visit pdsb.schoolconnects.com and choose CREATE LOGIN to create your account and receive login credentials. These login credentials are needed to login both online and with the mobile app. Parents need to have a cell phone that is capable of receiving text messages to complete the setup process. The cell phone number must be on file with the school.

Please report your child’s absences before the start of the school day. Late arrivals and/or early departures should be reported as soon as possible.

Benefits of using SafeArrival include:

  • Phone, website and mobile app options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • You can report your child(ren)’s absences in advance (e.g., doctor’s appointment).
  • Keep phone numbers and email addresses up-to-date.

If your child’s absence is not reported in advance, the automated notification system will contact parents to inform of a student’s absence and will provide an opportunity to verify the absence. The automated notification system will contact parents/guardians at multiple contact numbers until one of the designated contacts is reached. If our automated system is unable to reach a designated contact, office staff will follow up. By reporting your child absent in advance, using the SafeArrival toll-free number, SafeArrivalwebsite or SafeArrivalmobile app, you will not receive a call.

There is no longer an absence reporting phone line at school. As always, if you have any questions or require any assistance, please contact the school.

Regards,

T.Ajrawat
