Learn How a Top District Saved Countless Hours on Attendance and Improved Student Safety
With a manual system for recording attendance and between 5 and 10 percent of absences going unreported by parents, secretaries with a school district in Canada were spending countless hours making phone calls to parents.
This manual process was also creating student safety issues. In one notable incident, a student came to school one morning but decided to sneak out a back door and skip school; because of slow attendance data collection and reporting, the parent didn't find out her student wasn't in school until almost 4:00 P.M.

To save countless hours of staff time and help improve student safety, the district turned to SafeArrival. Learn more about how the district credits SchoolMessenger's SafeArrival with helping them to improve parent communication and streamline the process of resolving unexcused absences.
