The most fundamental element to a thriving school district is communication. jmc offers great tools for inter-school communication with the Communications module which allows teachers to communicate to the office regarding students. The teacher's communication is then processed in the office and stored for later access.

Before using jmc's Communication module, office professionals need to grant teachers the ability to view and create communication records for all students in the building or limit teachers to viewing and creating communications submissions for only the students assigned to the teacher.

Set permissions in jmc Office by heading to File > Online Settings in jmc Office and clicking the "Teacher" tab.

Step One: Place a checkmark in the "Allow teachers to select 'All Students' on Homeroom Reports" checkbox to allow teachers to create communication submissions for any student in the building.

Fun Fact: The "Allow teachers to select 'All Students' on Homeroom Reports" checkbox in Online Settings hides/shows the "All Students" checkbox in jmc Teacher, allowing or preventing the teacher access to all students in the building.

Step Two: Place a checkmark in the "Allow teachers to view all accepted student communication submissions" checkbox to allow teachers to view communication records created by any teacher and accepted through jmc Office versus only seeing their own submissions.
