    SafeArrival Attendance Reporting System

    Neshaminy School District is pleased to offer a new service called SafeArrival, which will make it easier for parents and guardians to report an absence for their child. Using a mobile app, a website or a toll-free phone number, you can report both a planned absence in advance or one on the same day (in the case of illness or other unforeseen circumstances, for example). This is part of the same system that alerts you with a phone call when your child has an unexcused absence.

    For the time being, Neshaminy schools will still accept handwritten notes and phone calls to their Main Offices for absence reporting. The hope is, however, that our families will find SafeArrival easy to use and more convenient. It also streamlines the reporting process which will reduce the number of automated absence calls generated each day.

    If you have questions about SafeArrival or Neshaminy School District absence policies, please contact the Main Office at your child's school.

    SafeArrival is part of the SchoolMessenger suite of applications. Click on the appropriate app store for your device to download the free SchoolMessenger app (which includes SafeArrival reporting):

    SafeArrival Tips:

      • Your username and password are the same for both the mobile app and the website.
      • Options for reporting are available anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, up to the cutoff time on the day of the absence (11:45 p.m.). If you do not report your child's absence in SafeArrival by 11:45 p.m. on the day of the absence, you will need to email the attendance office at your child's school within 3 days to report the absence.  
      • In the event of an unreported absence in SafeArrival, the SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system will contact parents/guardians via email, text (if opted in to receive texts), and phone.
      • The phone number that will appear on your caller ID is 1-888-256-5072 
      • If you report your child's absence in SafeArrival before the start of the school day, you will not receive these notifications, and you will not need to supply a note to your child's school's attendance email.
