In Fort McMurray Catholic Schools, we use the Edsby platform as a tool to enhance family communication, student involvement in their education and to provide insight into your child’s classroom and school activities.
In order to gain valuable information about your child’s progress, we strongly recommend being enrolled and active on Edsby.
We encourage you to use Edsby to:
- Notify your child’s school about absences
- Keep in communication with your child’s teacher
- Sign up for parent teacher interviews
- View upcoming events happening in your child’s school
- View your child’s upcoming assignment deadlines (Grade 7 – 12)
- View your child’s up to date marks on individual assignments (Grade 7-12)
- View your child’s report card
Did you know we use Edsby to send attendance notifications to families?
Attendance matters. We know there are days that due to illness, family emergencies, and just day to day life, you will not be able to attend school. We respectfully ask you to let us know on those days your child(ren) will not be attending.
Every morning staff make phone calls to Elementary families to ensure our students not at school, who didn’t previously inform us they would be absent, are safe. This child check process is an integral part of our safety planning.
To enhance our child check process we send attendance notifications to EEP- Grade 6 families in all Elementary schools through the Edsby app. If your child(ren) are not at school, and we haven’t received a note that they will be absent, you will receive a notification in the Edsby app before you receive a phone call from your school. We trust the notification will be a reminder to enter the app and let us know if your child will be attending school that day.
How can you help?
- Please notify us as early as possible if your child(ren) will not be attending school.
- You can let us know via Edsby (preferred), email, or phone call.
- Please make sure your notifications are turned on for Edsby.
