Data
Take control of attendance tracking with jmc’s Period Attendance tools. Quickly log daily or period absences using "Edit Attendance"—add reasons, mark excused or unexcused, and keep records up to date in just a few clicks. Customize your school’s absence reasons and set full- and half-day cutoffs with "Edit Reasons and Cutoffs" to match your district's policies. With jmc Office, managing and personalizing attendance data is fast, accurate, and built to fit your workflow.
Edit Attendance: is your go-to tool for managing daily attendance records submitted by teachers through jmc Teacher. Easily add, update, or delete absences as needed—whether for a single student, an entire grade level, or an activity group. You can assign reasons, mark specific periods or multiple days, and make adjustments that align with your school’s attendance policies.
Edit Reasons and Cutoffs: customize attendance tracking in jmc Office to match your school's policies. Add or modify absence and tardy reasons to reflect your local attendance codes, and choose which reasons count toward full or half-day absences. You can also define how many periods a student must miss to be marked absent for a full or half day. With grade-level-specific settings, this tool gives you full control over how attendance is recorded and reported.
Reports
jmc Office includes a variety of pre-loaded attendance reports designed to keep your team informed and in control of attendance management. Whether you're reviewing daily attendance, tracking tardy reasons, monitoring lunch counts, or analyzing absence summaries, these reports deliver valuable insights that support accurate records, effective communication with families, and proactive student oversight.
For A Day: generate a comprehensive list of all students who were absent on a specific date. This report provides a snapshot of absences, whether full-day or for at least one period, within a selected grade range. Easily email, print, or export the report to a CSV file for record-keeping or follow-up.
For Student(s): run a detailed attendance or tardy report for one or more students across a specified date range. Sort by student group—sequential, random, grade, or advisor—for flexible organization. Customize the report further with filters such as absence reason, date range, specific periods, or comments. This report gives you a clear, tailored view of each student's attendance history based on your chosen criteria.
For a Reason: generate a report of all students who were absent for a specific reason within a selected date range. For example, quickly identify all students absent due to a band trip or other event. This report provides a clear overview of reason-based absences and can be previewed or printed for documentation or follow-up.
Absent/Tardy Check: stay on top of attendance issues by generating a report of students who meet specific absence or tardy criteria within a selected date range. Identify students based on absence reasons, number of occurrences, excused or unexcused status, and whether absences were period-based or full-day. Use this report to spot patterns and take timely action.
Lunch Count/Attendance by Teacher: view teacher-submitted lunch and milk counts alongside daily or period attendance for a specific day. Use this report to verify that all students are accounted for during lunch and that teachers are present as scheduled. Easily print or export the report to a CSV file for analysis or record-keeping.
Form Letter: create custom letters to communicate attendance concerns with families. Use predefined criteria—such as the number of unexcused absences or tardies—to generate personalized messages. Select specific students, sort letters by primary contact, and choose how to deliver them: print, email, or both. You can even generate related discipline records, all from the same interface.
