The Message Center is your fully integrated communication tool for sending voice calls, emails, and text messages directly from jmc Office. Whether you’re notifying families about weather alerts, sending reminders by grade level or bus route, or keeping students updated on school events, the Message Center helps you reach the right people at the right time.
With built-in features to track message delivery, monitor staff usage, and review message history, staying connected with your school community has never been easier.
Log in to jmc Office and select the "Message Center" module to learn more.
Send Messages
The Send Messages page is your central hub for communicating with families, students, and emergency contacts through mass emails, text messages, and voice calls. Choose from four message types to reach individuals or targeted groups based on grade level, activity, course, bus route, and more.
Send messages immediately or schedule them for a later time — giving you the flexibility to ensure your information reaches the right people at the right moment.
Message Status
Keep track of all your outgoing communications with the Message Status page. Monitor message progress in real time to see how many have been successfully delivered and how many are still pending. For scheduled messages, you can easily adjust the delivery date or time — or cancel a message altogether if plans change.
Messaging Logs
Easily keep a record of your school’s communications with Messaging Logs. View a detailed list of all phone calls and text messages sent through jmc Office or the mobile apps — including who sent the message, the recipient, and the delivery time.
You can also print or export your log for record-keeping, auditing, or quick reference later on.
Manage Phone Recordings
The Manage Phone Recordings page gives you full control over your saved phone recordings. Review your recordings, rename them for easy organization, and keep everything ready to go for future messages. Whether you’re double-checking a recording before sending or tidying up your message list, this is the place to manage it all.
Attendance Notification Settings
Who has time to call families at 9:00 a.m.? If a student is absent during first period, you can set up automatic phone calls to notify parents/guardians of the absence — saving you time and ensuring families are informed quickly. Flexible options include:
Unexcused-only calls: send alerts only for unexcused absences (skip excused)
Daily email summary: automatically receive an email report of who was called
Follow-up calls: schedule a second call later in the day to reach families who missed the first one
Set it once, and jmc handles the outreach — so your team can focus on supporting students instead of dialing phones.
External Communication Detail Log
Need to review past communications in detail? The External Communication Detail Log provides a comprehensive view of all messages sent, including the message type, associated building, school year, sender, location, date, and any queued information. You can also export the log at any time to maintain records for auditing or future reference.
