Report an Absence

Manage PIN Settings (Android example)

Parents/guardians can require that a Personal Identification Number (PIN) be entered before absences can be reported or explained for their student using the SafeArrival phone system. PIN settings can be updated by parents from the Attendance page of the SchoolMessenger app OR by school or district staff that have edit access to the SchoolMessenger Communicate Contacts page.

Using the mobile apps, parents click the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Attendance page. They will be shown a brief description of PIN settings. Click Manage PIN Settings to continue.

On the Manage your PIN Settings screen, the parent can choose the district in which the student is enrolled (if the parent has students enrolled in more than 1 district). The parent will see a list of his/her students and will be able to tap the checkbox to request that a PIN be required for when reporting and explaining absences for this student by phone. A 4-digit PIN can then be entered. Changes made on this screen will be saved automatically. Tap the “eye” icon to see the PIN. Tap the “edit” icon to modify the PIN.

This screen will be slightly different for Districts who do not use the Guardian Data Model. In that case, a separate PIN is required for each STUDENT.
