SAFE ARRIVAL PROGRAM At KEATING
250-652-1312 or
keatingabsence@sd63.bc.ca before 8:40 a.m.

The purpose of the Safe Arrival Program is to assure parents that their children arrive safely at school. All information provided is confidential.

The policy formed by the Keating Home & School Association requests that every student enrolled in the school be on the Call Back System. If you do not wish your child to be on the program, please let the office know.

How the system works:

  • When your child is going to be absent from school for any reason, parents phone 250- 652-1312 or email keatingabsence@sd63.bc.ca before 8:40 a.m. A recorded message will be heard that will tell you that you have reached Keating School’s Call Back System. Please leave the date, your child’s name, their division number and their teacher’s name
  • A parent volunteer checks the recorded messages each morning and compares the message with the morning attendance. Any discrepancies are followed up on immediately.
  • If phoning after 9:00 a.m., please phone the school office (250) 652-9261.
  • Any students who are late or who leave early MUST report to the office in order to maintain accurate attendance records.
