Important changes coming to SafeArrival system in May 2018

The Peel District School Board is currently using the SafeArrival system by Synervoice Technologies. As Synervoice has been sold to West Communications, there will be slight changes to our SafeArrival system and how you will report your child's absence from school. The phone number to report your child's absence will stay the same, but there are a few other changes.

Beginning May 14, 2018, all elementary school parents/guardians need to report their child's full-day absences, late arrivals and/or early departures from school via our new School Messenger SafeArrival system.

The phone number will stay the same: 1-855-209-6155

Website has changed to: go.schoolmessenger.ca

Download a new app: School Messenger App (from Google or Apple)

(please be sure to delete the old Safe Arrival app after May 11)

Please continue to use our current Synervoice system until Friday, May 11, 2018. The new School Messenger SafeArrival will be live on Monday, May 14, 2018.

Important to note:

The transition to a new company and system will require parents to set up a new account with School Messenger SafeArrival as data will not be transferred from the old system to the new. More information on how and when to set-up your new account will be coming in the next month.

Lunch at SWG

Lunch at SWG

Our lunch program at SWG is now going strong during the school week, and we are offering both Pizza Nova (on Tuesdays and Thursdays), and Boston Pizza (now on Mondays and Wednesdays). Please remember to send drinks and other food items with your child. Payment must be made on SCHOOL CASH ONLINE. Also, there will be NO CREDITS OR REFUNDS if students are absent on lunch days. The goal is to provide a "Lunch Program" that allows a student to buy a hot and healthy lunch at school. Our lunch program meets the Ministry Food & Beverage Policy guidelines.

To support a safe climate, students are NOT permitted to go off school campus, to the restaurants on Queen Street or Pizza Point plaza during their lunch time.
