1) If you haven't done so yet, please create your Parent Portal account. Go to Parent Portal – The Ottawa Catholic School Board and follow the instructions for registering for an account. There are important forms in the parent portal for parents to complete for a successful transition to school.

2) Please register for School Cash Online which is used for purchases or partake in any fundraising events (ie Pizza Lunches)

3) Create your SchoolMessenger account 

Our schools use the SchoolMessenger communication platform to send automated phone calls and emails to parents. We use this system for attendance and emergency messages, as well as for general messages including newsletters and school updates. 

Go to ocsb.ca/SchoolMessenger to learn how to create your account. Create your account using the email address you provided when you registered your child for school. To receive all types of email messages, you must opt in. Otherwise, we will only send you emergency and attendance email messages. To receive any emails sent by the school, your preference must be set to “yes” for General Messages. To receive any emails that may be sent by your child's teacher, your preference must be set to “yes” for Teacher-to-Parent Messaging. 

Have questions? If you are having difficulty creating your parent account, please email the OCSB at School.Messenger@ocsb.ca
