Over the past few years, Empire Public School has used email as a means of quickly getting information to families for a wide variety of purposes. Recent legislation has required the WRDSB and our school to participate in a new process for registering family email contact information. Many of our families have not registered through the WRDSB and as a result we have not been using email communications. Now is your chance to register your email with the Board and, by doing so, also make that email available to the school. Here is what you need to do to get on our email list for school information and reminders.

 

Go to form at https://secure.wrdsb.ca/subscribe/ and choose “Parent/Guardian” radio button.

 

• Add your first name and surname and your relationship to the child (the information is compared to what you have told us when you registered)
• For each child, parents will add the child’s preferred or legal first name, surname, OEN, Date of Birth and School.
• Parents must complete the above step for each child and Verify. To add additional children, just type new information and choose Verify for each child. The children and a checkmark will be listed under the Verify button.
• When each child has been entered and verified, choose Next to proceed to the second screen. If any child is not verified, you can proceed regardless, but the parent will need to check with his/her child’s school to see where the problem is.
• At the second screen, add your contact information and preferences
• Submit

 

Your email address is added to our system as Unsubscribed and then you will be sent a confirmation email to verify that the information is correct and as intended. The email will ask you to verify the information you have provided by clicking on a link and following the instructions. Once confirmed by you, a nightly process converts this information in our system to Subscribed.   After that you will be able to receive emails from the school and school board.
