    Thank you for your suggestion.

    The absence reasons available for selection are the reasons used for internal tracking of student absences. We can consider an option for an ‘Other’ reason and provide an opportunity to enter more details regarding the absence.

  18. Request school Change online

    We should be able to put in a request to switch schools online. It is such an inconvenient hassle to get kids switched from one school to another after a move, as principals are often so slow on getting in touch with parents.

    Good afternoon,


    Thank you for your suggestion, I've marked it as under review so it can be considered for future features in My Family Room.


    The process of moving a student from one School to another does currently require school staff to process the transfer as well as transfer documents between schools, however I do see a benefit to making such a request from the My Family Room platform.


    Thank you,


    My Family Room Support

  19. Web and app versions of MyFamilyRoom should have the same functionality.

    The app doesn't have the same options as the web version of MyFamilyRoom - example access to registration etc. Both should have the same functionality.

  20. If a student is absent unexpected, the notification should go to the parents immediately

    My daughter was marked absent unexpected from her 12:05PM class as I picked her for emergency appointment, but I received email notification at 4:40PM which is too late.
    Also, when confirming the absence, I could only select reason and no area to provide reasoning or justification.
    For some absence, I can see my daughter is marked absent twice for the same class and same subject by using code 1 or 11 which does not make sense as there is only one class for each subject per day so how she is absent twice from the same class if the class…

    under review  ·  AdminUserVoice Administrator (Admin, UCDSB) responded

    Good morning, 


    Thank you for your feedback and suggestion.  I have marked this as under review so we can consider adding a notes section to the unexplained absence reply in a future version of My Family Room.


    With regards to the notification time of 4:40 pm, it would depend mostly on the time the teacher took attendance, 4:40 pm is an expected notification time.


    With regards to a double absence, there are scenarios where courses occur over a double period, in that scenario attendance is taken twice for the same course/class.  To investigate this further please contact the school, or submit a support request through the Help/Contact Us form at www.myfamilyroom.ca


    Thank you,


    My Family Room Support
