Make every family’s experience feel personal and connected with the jmc Family app. Customize what they see first—whether it’s key updates, helpful links, or a welcoming photo of your school. Easily upload images, maps, and links for each building to keep every interaction intentional and accessible.
Begin customizing your building's information by logging into jmc Office and going to jmc Family > Family App Settings.
Step One: Select the appropriate option from the "Grading Terms available to families" drop-down list and place a checkmark in the appropriate term checkbox(es) for the term(s) you want families to access course grades for.
Step Two: Place a checkmark in the "Use Period Attendance Hotline" checkbox to allow families to let families report upcoming absences directly through the app, eliminating the need to call the school.
Fun Fact: Worried about a kiddo marking themselves absent in their parent’s phone? We’ve got that covered! When a student has been marked absent via the hotline, jmc will email a notification to the primary contact.
Step Three: Click the appropriate "Change File" link in the “Uploads” section, then click "Select" to browse your computer for an image of your school, school map and/or bell schedule to display in the Family app.
Helpful Tip: Use a JPEG or PNG image under 2MB to support fast loading, smooth display, and optimal performance in the jmc Family app.
Fun Fact: Once the file upload is complete, the “No File” link will change to your uploaded photo indicating the upload was successful!
Step Four: Enter the appropriate information in the "Building Info" fields to add your school's address, website and contact information.
Step Five: Enter descriptions and full URLs in the "Quick Links" section to give families easy access to frequently used school websites. Make sure to include the complete web address—like "www" or "http://"—so each link opens correctly.
Step Six: Click the “Update” button to save your changes to the "Uploads", "Building Info", and "Quick Links" sections.
Step Seven: Select a radio button in the "School Calendar" box to add a calendar to your jmc Family app.
URL: a link to a web-based calendar like Google or rSchool
Upload: a static image of your school calendar, such as a PDF or screenshot
Step Eight: Click the “Update” button to save your calendar settings.
Step Nine: Click the "Add Menu" button to add a new meal menu.
Step Ten: Select "Breakfast" or "Lunch" from the "Type" drop-down list, then enter a menu name and its corresponding URL in the appropriate fields to display the correct menu in the jmc Family app.
Step Eleven: Click the "Save" button to add your meal menu to the Family app, or click the "Cancel" button to discard your changes.
