Types Of Notifications


My Family Room allows you to specify how you would prefer to be contacted for 6 types of notifications:


   1.  Student Absences (phone, text, email) 
   2.  Bus Cancellations (phone, text, email) 
   3.  Urgent Notifications (phone, text, email) 
   4.  School and Board News (email only) 
   5.  Student Registrations (email, global contact only) 
   6.  Event Notifications (email, global contact only)



Where Are the Preferences?


Contact preferences can be set in two places within My Family Room website www.MyFamilyRoom.ca:


   1.  Global Contact Preferences 

   2.  Individual Child Contact Preferences


Global Contact Preferences are set on your PROFILE tab; these preferences will be applied to all your children.


Individual Child Contact Preferences are set on the CHILDREN tab under each child’s name. This option can be used to override Global Contact Preferences for one of your children, or to set preferences.


Please Note:

Setting up notifications in Global Contact Preferences and Individual Child Contact Preferences will result in duplicate messages.
