Absence Reporting

​The Halton District School Board is committed to providing timely, effective communication to parents/guardians and students.​

The HDSB utilizes a Student Absence Reporting System called SchoolMessenger.​

This is the system used for:
-Reporting student absences
-Receiving all messages and phone calls from your child's school and the HDSB

Families receive instructions on how to register for SchoolMessenger when they register for school.

​All families must register for SchoolMessenger to report student absences online and set communication preferences for receiving messages from your child's school and the HDSB.​

Extended  Absences:
For absences of 4 or more days we request that an extended absence form be completed. This form ensures that teachers are aware students will be away, and that the dates get entered properly in our attendance system. Students can pick up a form from the main office.
