Safe Arrival
Northlea’s Safe Arrival Program is organized and staffed by Northlea Home & School Council volunteers to ensure the safety of our children.
If your child is going to be absent or late, please call Safe Arrival at 416-396-3775
The Safe Arrival voice mail system is available 24 hours a day to take your message. Please call before 8:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. for a same-day absence or late arrival. Remember that messages left for a busy teacher may not get transferred to our Safe Arrival volunteers.
Safe Arrival volunteers must follow up on every student who is absent. If no message has been left for Safe Arrival, then the volunteer will first call the teacher and then the parents. If we are unable to establish the location of your child, our volunteer will call the contacts you identify on the enclosed card.
Please complete a new Safe Arrival Card (enclosed in this package) for this year as last year’s cards will be discarded.
Your card with this vital information is filed at the Safe Arrival desk in the event that we are required to contact you. Please notify the School Office in the case of any contact information changes during the year.
It is vitally important that you provide numbers where you can be reached – including cell phones or pagers – and that you include numbers for someone who may know where your child is. We will call these numbers in the order that you indicate on the card.
Questions rearding the Safe Arrival program can be directed to the Safe Arrival Coordinator: Kathryn Whaley.
