Make all of the correspondences, surveys and documents available on 1 platform.
Right now, we are shuffling between Parental Portal, STEO, my kids school email and our personal email.
Frankly, I am confused. Every morning I do 15 min of just circling in order to figure out if there is a bus, if there are any documents or surveys to file and if there are activities to sign for.
Can there be one place for all of this?
Thank you for considering and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.0 votesHello,
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions!
Unfortunately the services you listed are part of different entities, such as the UCDSB, STEO, and the Ontario Department of Education, when organizations are separate it's typical for communication to be separate as well. At the UCDSB we do try to keep our communications consistent and allow guardians to modify their notification settings through their My Family Room account.
Thank you!

combine all my children so that I'm only getting one email/text or phone call regarding school closures, snow days, or surveys etc!!!!!!!!!
I just received 3 emails, 3 phone calls to home, 3 cell phone calls, 3 text messages in regards to the survey to be completed by the students. Can the board not combine my 3 children together since I have one Family Room account so that I don't get multiple messages for the same thing? It is really annoying!!!

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,

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.

Display course selections for the following school year.
My son just asked me to verify the courses that he selected for next year and since it was a hard copy piece of paper that had to be handed in, there is no way to do this.
