Attendance Reporting System
Delaware City Schools utilizes an automated student absence reporting system called Safe Arrival. This system reduces the time it takes to verify student attendance making it easier for you to report your child’s absence and easier for staff to respond to unexplained student absences.
Safe Arrival allows parents to report their child’s absence quickly and conveniently in several ways:
-
Parents can log into a website, go.schoolmessenger.com to access a Safe Arrival Parent Portal where an account can be set up to report absences. The email used to set up the account must match the email you gave to the school.
- Parents can call into an automated interactive telephone system via a toll free number (1-844-817-5313) through which absences can be reported.
-
If you have an Android or Apple device, you can also download the School Messenger app. You can go to the Google Play store or the Apple App and search using the keyword "School Messenger". Download the app with the blue swirl logo.
Visit this link on the Delaware City Schools website for more information.
Please do not call the school directly to report an absence unless there is an emergency with your student. Please report any absences no later than 8:30-9:30 am. If you do not report your child's absence, you will receive a phone call from the school office to verify your student's absence.
Changes in your child's normal dismissal routine
At all times, we work to ensure the safety of our students. If there is a change in your child's dismissal routine on a given day, please send a written note to the office or contact the school office at (740) 833-1350 prior to 12:00 p.m. If there is no contact with the school regarding the change (ie: no note or phone call), your child will follow their normal dismissal routine.
Student Sign Out Notifications
Please be sure to contact the front office when coordinating an early pick up of your child. With increased clinic visits, we want to be sure to have minimal student congregations in the office to avoid germ transfers. We appreciate your understanding & cooperation, and will do our best to have your child down to the office in a timely manner.

PowerSchool App Update
If you are a user of the PowerSchool app to track student grades and attendance, it will be necessary to update your app to the latest version. This will entail deleting the app and reinstalling. When you do so, the district code is CBKZ. Your parent login for the app is the same as your login for doing school forms.

**FYI: 2022-2023 Lunch Policies
The USDA made it possible for school nutrition programs to serve all students free meals through "waivers" during the school years; 20/21 and 21/22 due to the pandemic. Congress did not extend these waivers for the upcoming school year, 22/23, which means meals both breakfast and lunch, will be regularly priced.
**Please be sure to add money to your child’s lunch account

PaySchools Information
Parents can send cash/check with the student in a sealed envelope. Students who have forgotten their lunch money are permitted to charge up to a maximum of $15 (See the food service website for meal costs and the full charging policy). Once a student exceeds their charging limit, an alternate meal will be provided.
If you believe you qualify for free or reduced meal benefits or you have any questions about our school lunch procedures, please contact our Food Service Director, Sally Rathje, at 740-833-1866 or you can review and complete the meal benefits application.
