1 voteHello,
Thank you for your suggestion, currently attendance corrections need to be made and approved by the school office staff, I recommend contacting them to address the attendance issues.

Have the order summary available under the events
Hot lunch and other orders are not always summarized. For instance I have hot lunch coming up, I have no idea what day it is on or how to find the order summary so I know what meal my kids will be getting.
0 votesHello,
Thank you for your suggestion.
School office staff create the events and typically have a well detailed description of the event/hot lunch, if the description isn't as detailed as you would like please let them know.
You are able to look at your accepted events, and which items you paid for up to the beginning of the event, we are taking this suggestion under review to look into changing this on future revisions.
Thank you,

When a kid is marked as away and the system asks for a reason, it should also include an option for "late". She wasn't away, only late.
My daughter was marked as away because her teacher forgot to change her attendance when she arrived late. when I was notified that she had missed a class, it wasn't accurate. There should be an option to change the absence to late.

Please include ‘sports events” for absence.
My child plays sports and is the reason for absences but it is not listed as a reason for missing class.

Stop counting kids in the dual credit program as absent when they are attending the class at the college
My daughter is in the dual credit program and every time that she has had the class at the college, they mark her as absent. Then when the missed class email gets sent and I use "my family room" to try and have the issue fixed there's no option on the drop down to clarify that she was in fact in attendance at the college. Another option in the drop down for the dual credit program would be helpful.

Search bar
A search bar ay the top of the page so you can quickly search what you're looking for.
Example: I'm trying to update my husband's phone number but cannot find where to do it. It would be nice to just be able to search it and do it myself rather then spending an hour, unsuccessfully trying to edit information1 vote -

Alternative payment methods. Please allow debit or credit instead of PayPal
Love the online payment. But PayPal is not convenient. UCDSB already stores all kinds of confidential information, any information about our children should be just as protected and any potential financial information this might require UCDSB to store.

It would be great if parents had the option to put more than 1 mobile phone number - or a joint account for both mom/dad.
My husband isn't going to create an account for 1 missing phone number... It would be best for us to have one account we can both access and have both our information in the same place. The current set up only allows for one mobile phone number.

Allow parents to change child photos.
A child being present on photo day shouldn't determine whether their picture is current or not, and some school photos are just not flattering at all! Allow parents to choose and change child photos rather than having to go through the school. School administrators have more important things to deal with than changing photos and info in an app that is supposed to make things easier and more efficient for everyone.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. Currently school photos are the official photo used in our student information system and My Family Room. Your suggestion will be submitted for future enhancements.
