Phone App able to stay logged in
It would be great to be able to stay logged in on the app on the phone- to further on that idea- have the option to have push notifications for new event/event reminders, snow days, etc.

Memo area
when reporting an absence it would be helpful to have a dropdown area where parents can elaborate further on the selected reason for absence.

Fix Absence tool
When you approve an absence after the fact, all you get is the wheel of death, you have to log out and log back in. Feature needs fixing. Also should have option to make note. Ex. my kid missed class because the school made a mistake, her absence was at the fault of the school.

When a refund is issued dont freeze an account. My child is missing hot lunches for the month now!
I was issued a refund because of a system glitch, and now I have to wait 20 days before I can use the account again. The app says to contact the school to get hit lunches paid for in person, but the school refuses to do so. Unacceptable. We should have the option to reload to our account right away.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for your suggestion! When a cash-out is requested and being processed we cannot currently allow funds to be added or used on the account. This may be something that is remedied in future versions of My Family Room and this suggestion is being taken under review.
Thank you.

Check boxes
How about checking off the box of the kid who is actually going to be absent rather than checking off ALL THE BOXES of the kids who are NOT going to be absent. It’s ridiculous the way it is now.

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.
Your suggestion to be able to note attendance discrepancies has been noted and considered for future updates.

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.

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 -

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.

Make phone number spacing automatic
I should be able to type in my phone number without dashes. The system should be smart enough to know where they go.

For students that choose the odd day to learn online there should be a submission for this so they are not marked absent in the system
My daughter is doing IN CLASS learning. on occasion, she asks to stay home and go online (live) with the class. I suggest having a tab for this so she is not marked absent on My Family Room.
1 voteHi!
Thanks for your feedback. We agree and are working on a solution so that in class learners can be marked present when they are choosing to join the class online.
