Message From the Principal
It has been wonderful to have our students back in-person for the first time in 6 months. While we are still required to follow certain protocols related to COVID-19, it is well worth it to have our learners back in the building.
We greatly appreciate your patience and support as we've gotten everything off the ground this week - overall it has been extremely smooth and successful. Hopefully your children feel the same way!
As of next week when our staffing and organization is confirmed by the Board, we do not expect any major changes to occur. This means we will likely not need to re-organize our classes, which is great news.
As you may know, one of our classes is currently located in the library as we await the delivery of 2 new portables. We are hopeful that these will arrive by or at least near the end of September.
Please read on below for a few other pieces of pertinent information.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Aaron West
Principal

SAFE ARRIVAL ATTENDANCE SYSTEM
How to report a student absence using SafeArrival
There are three ways you can report your student’s absence in advance:
1. Using your mobile device, download and install the SchoolMessenger blue app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or from School Messenger website or you can select it from within the LDSB mobile app. The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Make sure you use the same email address your child’s school has on file. If you do not use that same email address, you will not be able to create an account. You may have already created an account when we introduced the Communicate broadcast system. Select Attendance, then Report an Absence.
2. Use the School Messenger website. The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account. Please ensure you use the same email address your student’s school has on file. If you do not use that same email address, you will not be able to create an account. You may have already created an account when we introduced the Communicate broadcast system. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
3. Call 1-855-257-9349 toll-free to report an absence using the automated phone system.
***Please do not call the school directly to report your student's absence***
