Reporting Absences

Reporting a Student Absence

Edmonton Catholic Schools utilizes the SchoolMessenger SafeArrival system to simplify reporting absences for families. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you can report your child’s absence in advance using any of these options:

SchoolMessenger App (iOS or Android)
PowerSchool (click on the SchoolMesenger icon in the left hand menu)
Website: go.schoolmessenger.ca
Phone: 1-833-788-7662

Using SchoolMessenger is quick, convenient, and helps keep your school informed and your child safe. For full instructions and more information, visit ecsd.net/reportingabsences.

As students and staff continue to engage in exciting learning opportunities together as a community of leaners, the health, safety and well-being of all students and staff remains a top priority. Parents are asked to please continue to monitor your child for symptoms daily before coming to school. This is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of illness. Anyone who is exhibiting symptoms of illness, including fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, new or worsening cough, or shortness of breath, should remain at home until their symptoms have improved and they have been free of fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, and they feel well enough to resume normal activities. If your child becomes sick at school (vomiting, fever, diarrhea, coughing, running nose etc.), parents/guardians will be called to pick them up. If your child is away from school for any reason, please call the school office to let us know.
