SafeArrival gives parents 3 options to report an absence: by phone, by using an App, or logging into the website (directions for each option are included in this website). This system will be available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. Future absences can also be reported in advance. Parents/Guardians who report their child's absences using the SafeArrival system will NOT receive a call from our automated attendance system. Additionally, Parents/Guardians who report their child's absences using the SafeArrival system will NOT be required to send in an additional absence note as the reporting system will count as the note*.

SafeArrival uses our student information system (ALMA) to verify all accounts so it is important that parents/guardians use the same email address on file in ALMA when creating their SafeArrival account. Please contact our technology support at techsupport@garnetvalley.org if you need help updating your email address in ALMA.
