All permission forms are paperless now.

The TDSB uses a system called EMA (Excursion Management System). When a sports team plays against other schools or leaves school property to train the parents needs to log into the EMA system and approve their child's participation. After you approve the try outs, the system may email you about future game dates or event changes. 

If events are happening off school property, then information about the event will also be emailed to you from Mr. Sykes. You still need to log into EMA to approve

How to log in and use EMA

The TDSB has created a information page about how to use ema and I have posted it below

STEP BY STEP WALK THROUGH THANKS TO EDDY CHEN

using a laptop, below are the steps I use to sign up for team sports:

1. sign in at URL: https://parent.ema.tdsb.on.ca/

2. once signed in, select "Athletics"; a drop-down menu will appear then click "Athletic Teams"

3. under "Student", click "Select" the student's name appears, highlight and click—sometimes it does not allow you to select any person, if this happens, logout, and delete your browsers' history, and then log back in

4. once selected, under "Sport Name" click "Select", highlight and click "Track and Field", click "Search"--note, you may have to scroll down to view the "All-Grade All-Gender Track and Field"

5. click "All-Grade All-Gender Track and Field"

6. start filling out the form

7. make sure to check all the boxes and to select "Review Concussion Training"--the form cannot be completed if you do not review the concussion training video

8. shortly after completing and logging out you should receive and email for each student form that was completed
