jmc software is intentionally modular, so you can customize the system with only the features you need, creating a more efficient and manageable tool for your school.

As you update your software license, it’s the perfect time to add more functionality to your jmc toolbox.

Attendance, registration, and scheduling

Attendance: The Attendance module (required to run the jmc Office portal) is the heart of our system. It allows users to track student and teacher demographic data, attendance records, contact info, advisor/advisee lists and assignments, and more-all from one convenient, centralized location. Print and/or export lists of data including ELL/LEP, enrollment history, and standardized test scores–using jmc's query engine, Student Lists.

Period Attendance: Track absences, tardies, and reasons for absences on a period-by-period basis from any computer with internet access. Generate by-period attendance reports and include attendance histories on students' report cards.

State Reporting: Accurate, compliant state reporting is key to securing government funding for your school district. At jmc, we pride ourselves on staying up to date with state reporting requirements. Our State Reporting module assists schools in sharing data with state agencies in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and other states utilizing Ed-Fi.

Schedules: Conveniently manage the student scheduling process from end to end and eliminate the need for time-consuming hand scheduling. Administrators can use it to generate and customize master schedules, bulk load courses and students, analyze and solve student schedule conflicts, and more.

New Enrollment: New families can enter demographic data and information about students who are going to be newly enrolled in a district from any web browser. Empower families to take control of their own data and remove the burden of data entry from your front office staff with the New Family Enrollment portal.

Online Registration: A convenient way for families to ensure their school district has up-to-date information about them and their students. Go paperless on back to school night by collecting answers to health and custom fields questions, contact information, free and reduced lunch forms, and even sign and return forms right in jmc!

GATE: Schools can easily monitor which students can access activities based on attendance or discipline status. Provide student incentives for good attendance, behavior, and academic performance by allowing students admission to events with the tracking functionality of GATE.

Communication and family engagement

Community Messenger: Our all-in-one community messenger enables community members to sign up for district updates and announcements, ensuring they're always informed and connected with the latest happenings in their local school, even if they don't have a student in the district.

Activities: Users can set team rosters, message families, and look up student contact details. Manage physical compliance, concussion awareness, and parent permission to participate and even integrate with iCal to keep everyone in the look on activities schedules. jmc's Coach Advisor app also makes it easy to manage extracurricular activities on the go.

Communication: jmc recognizes the significance of clear and timely communication in managing a school system. Our Communication module makes it effortless to monitor student communication records and interactions, whether they are negative or positive, pertaining to the student or their caregiver, inside or outside school premises.

Form Designer: Make the most of your school's data with jmc's custom forms feature. Office users can easily create and design forms, letters, or report cards to their exact specifications, using any piece of information stored in the jmc database.

Message Center: With our fully integrated voice, email, and text messaging module, not only can you communicate with parents and students effortlessly, but also contact specific groups by grade level, activity, course, and even bus number. Families can even choose their preferred language for receiving school communication.

Teacher Conference Scheduler: Post your conference schedules online so families can sign up for available time slots themselves. Teachers can set the time and length of conferences, reserve blocks and/or override appointments on behalf of families, and send confirmations and emails.

Tuition and Fees: Define and set up your own fees, including items like school tuition, library fines, activity fees, and more. Charge fees throughout the school year, print reports, and maintain accounts, all from within the module. Schools that have purchased Online Payments can give families online access to fee transactions and account balances.

Online Payments: Transform payment collection in your school community with jmc's secure and intuitive Online Payments module. Schools can accept credit card or ACH payments for tuition, fees, and meal plans 24/7, giving families a more convenient option over paper checks or cash. Admins can also issue refunds, reconcile payments, and access reports by student or date all from within the module.

Online Family Access: Families can access this part of the software suite 24/7 via the jmc Family Portal or mobile app to:
