At the Chilliwack School District, one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students are in attendance at school each and every day.   
   
To enhance our existing absence-checking procedure, we are introducing a new, more efficient student absence reporting system called SchoolMessenger.  This new system will reduce the time it takes to verify student attendance, make it easy for you to report your child’s absence and easy for staff to respond to unexplained student absences.   
   
With SchoolMessenger, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:

  1. Using your mobile device.
    • Download and install the SchoolMessenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (links below). The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
    • aoole-store google-store
  2. Use the SchoolMessenger website,
    • The first time you use the website, select Sign Up (link below) to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.
    • sm-signup sm-login
  3. Call the toll-free number 1-833-698-6567 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

   
These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week.  Future absences can be reported at any time.   
   
If you report your child’s absence in advance using the SchoolMessenger toll-free number, website or mobile app, you will NOT receive notifications.
