School Office Improvements
Welcome to the new school office improvements forum. We recognize that your work is important on many levels but most particularly, your relationships with the students, staff and community stakeholders in your school. However, we also know there are many things we also ask of you that are important for the continued operation of the board, like accurate data entry, financial procedures, and attendance. The purpose of this forum is to seek out ideas on streamlining your administrative work, making it easier for you to do your jobs well and enabling you to serve your school better.
This isn’t just a survey – this area will be open as a pilot for the rest of the school year and we would ask that you consider submitting a specific idea, and coming back to vote on the ideas that others have offered. This will help us not only identify ideas, but gain your feedback on the ideas that are the most important. The more specific and constructive you can be, the better. For example, providing a suggestion to find a way to collect payments electronically would be more helpful than a suggestion to provide general training.
As always, please ensure your comments are positive, constructive and respectful to your colleagues.
Thank you!

Full Potential of Family Room
I apologize if this is in the works as I did hear that My Family Room has the capacity to do at least part of what I am presenting. The French Catholic school board uses an on-line payment platform that not only allows the parent(s) to pay for activities through the system but also sign permission forms, etc.. Nothing goes through the teacher or the front office - milk, pizza, field trips, electronics use sign off. All transactions go through the payment system which alleviates the handling of paperwork and cash/cheques going through the teachers and front office. Banking processes…
4 votesHello,
Thank you for your suggestion! You are correct, My Family Room does have the capacity to support online payments as well as some portions of field trips.
This is being taken under review for increased capabilities in future versions of My Family Room.
Thank you.

Access to HR Staffing Information
Working for a school with over 150 employees it is sometimes difficult to keep track of our staffing FTE and LTO's, sick leaves etc., It would be helpful to have access to current staffing information available through HR. This would support our work in keeping UCARRIS accurate as well as Power School staffing up to date.
