School
 attendance is a critical factor to a productive and successful school 
career. All schools in St. James-Assiniboia actively promote and 
encourage 100 per cent attendance for all our students. We encourage 
parents/caregivers to be actively involved in promoting their childβs 
attendance at school.
What if my child will be absent from school?
If
 your child will be absent from school, we request that parents report 
their child's absence using the School Messenger system. Using School 
Messenger, absences can be reported using the SchoolMessenger app on 
your mobile device (iOS or Android), on the web, or by calling the 
toll-free interactive telephone system at 1-844-434-8116.
