Personal Identification Number (PIN) Setup
Parents may want to setup and assign their own Personal Identification Number (PIN) for their students. If a PIN is assigned, it will need to be entered before an absence can be reported or explained for the student when using the SafeArrival phone system. This provides an additional layer of security and also prevents students from reporting their own absence.
Set a PIN using SchoolMessenger Mobile App
Using the mobile app, tap the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner
of the Attendance page. You will be shown a brief description of PIN
settings. Tap the Manage your PIN settings link to continue.

On the Manage your PIN Settings screen, you can choose the district in
which the student is enrolled (if the parent has students enrolled in
more than 1 district). The parent will see a list of his/her students and
will be able to tap the checkbox to request that a PIN be required for
when reporting and explaining absences for this student by phone. A 4-
digit PIN can then be entered. Changes made on this screen will be
saved automatically.
1. Tap the eye icon to see the PIN.
2. Tap the edit icon to modify the PIN.
This screen will be slightly different for Districts who do not use the Guardian Data Model. In that case, a
separate PIN is required for each STUDENT
