Student safety is of paramount importance at the Vancouver School District.  Ensuring student safety is a shared responsibility.  In order to assist schools, we ask parents to notify schools of student absences. 

If your child will be absent from school or arriving late, please email nelsafearrival@vsb.bc.ca, or phone the school at 604-713-4595 and follow the prompt.  

Indicate your child's name and division.  When emailing, if possible, please cc your child's teacher.  Always advise your child's teacher of extended absences.
