SchoolMessenger
The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) uses SchoolMessenger to communicate with families and the school communities. It is a multi-platform communication tool that allows families to report absences and the TCDSB to send direct messages to student or parent groups via email and phone call voice messaging.
Report an Absence
To report an absence via SchoolMessenger, please select Sign up to create an account, then select Attendance, followed by Report an Absence.
Manage PIN Settings
Families have the option to require a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) when reporting a student's absence in the SafeArrival system. This enhances security and prevents students from reporting their own absences.
For instructions on setting up your PIN, visit the SchoolMessenger App Guide.
Not Receiving Messages From Us?
If you would like to receive messages from your school and the TCDSB, you must continue to remain subscribed to messages.
If you are not receiving messages from your child’s school or the TCDSB, please contact your local school.
