KPR has an automated system to make it easy for parents and guardians to report their children’s absences ahead of time.  The system comes with a phone number, a website address, mobile app, as well as a requirement for families to register their child(ren) in the automated system.

You can register your children for the automated system:

• by visiting kprdsb.ca
• if you use the mobile app, by searching for SchoolMessenger (one word) on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Note: You only need to register if you use your smart phone or the parent portal to submit absences.  If you only use the 1-844 number, you do not need to register an account.  It is highly recommended to register as reporting absences through a smart phone or the parent portal is the more convenient way of reporting absences.

Once you have registered for the system, you will be able to inform the school of your child’s upcoming absences at:

• kprdsb.ca
• 1-844-434-8119
• the SchoolMessenger mobile app on your smart phone or tablet.

Registering will allow you to report all of your children’s upcoming absences at a time that is convenient for you - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As always, student safety is our highest priority.  By registering, for the absence reporting system - and using the system to report absences before the school day starts - you will help us save valuable time in identifying students who may be absent from school without their parents’ or guardians’ knowledge or permission.

*Please only use Reason code ‘ill’ if they are unwell. This will help us and the Public Health Department to better understand our school community’s absences*

Please note this is the same system we used last year, this information is for new families to our school.

School Cash Online provides many benefits for both parents and students which include:

• Convenient email notifications for new items available to each student. You will know, for example, when hot lunch, spirit wear, class trips or year book are available without relying on notices coming home.
• The 24/7 availability to make payments anytime from anywhere through your PC or mobile app.
• Email confirmation of all payments and orders to ensure accuracy and receipt of payment.
• No longer needing to have exact change to send to school and the safety of your child not carrying cash with them.

To Register:

 Step 1:  Please visit https://kprdsb.schoolcashonline.com

Step 2:  Register by selecting the “Get Started Now” button and following the steps.

Step 3:  After you receive the confirmation email, please select the “click here” option, login and add each of your children to the household account. To do this you need your student’s first name, last name and date of birth.

If you have any questions during the registration process or while shopping online, please select the SUPPORT option in the top right hand area of the screen or contact the help desk at 1-866-961-1803.
