Report Absence
SchoolMessenger is a communication suite used by Aspen Park Elementary for attendance reporting and to notify parents of unexcused absences.
Emergency notifications (e.g. snow closure) are also broadcast to parents/guardians using SchoolMessenger. Instructions for opting-in to receive SMS text messages from SD71 can be found below.
An app is also available to parents/guardians that can be voluntarily installed to mobile devices allowing messages to be received on a mobile device. Instructions for how to sign-up, download and configure the app on your mobile device, as well as accessing the platform on the web, can be found below:

When you are signing up for an account, you will need to use the email address that we have on file to communicate with you. If you wish to use a different email address, please contact the school to update this information in our system.
If you do not report your child(ren) as absent or late, you will receive a system generated email and phone call where you will be able to excuse your child(ren) with the reason by selecting the appropriate option.
You can also report an absence by calling the school at (250) 890-0944 or via email to tabitha.dehr@sd71.bc.ca
