In jmc Office, create course offerings and assign students to the flex periods set up in your school’s flex schedule calendar. Once the calendar is ready, you can name each offering, assign a teacher and room, set capacity limits, and choose whether the offering is open to all students or private to selected ones. Then, place students into offerings, lock them in place, or view the sessions they’ve selected or been assigned to—helping every student get the right support at the right time through jmc’s flex scheduler.
To create and assign students to an offering for the flex scheduler, head to File > Flex Schedules.
Step One: Select a scheduled intervention block from the "Flex Times" box to add an offering for that specific block.
Step Two: Click the "Add Offering" link to create a new offering in the flex schedule, or select an existing one from the "My Offerings" box and click the "Edit Offering" link to make changes.
Step Three: Select a teacher from the “Teacher” drop-down list to assign the offering to that teacher.
Step Four: Enter a name for the offering in the “Name” field to help students distinguish it from offerings created by other teachers.
Helpful Tip: Creating an MTSS flex offering? Name it after the skill or topic you’ll be teaching during the flex period—for example, “Research Paper Help,” “Geometry,” or “Civil War Review” to indicate the focus of the intervention.
Step Five: Select a room from the "Room" drop-down list to show students where the flex offering will meet.
Step Six: Enter a number in the "Capacity" field to limit how many students can register for the offering.
Helpful Tip: Place a checkmark in the "Offering Private to Selected Students" checkbox to hide the offering from the list of available options in jmc Student.
Fun Fact: Only selected students can view private offerings, making this a great tool for targeted supports such as special education interventions.
Step Seven: Select a radio button to narrow the displayed list of students in the "Available Students" box.
Grades: filter students by a specific grade level range
Advisees: display only your assigned advisees
Step Eight: Click a student's name from the list of available students to add them to the offering.
Helpful Tip: Place a checkmark in the "Lock" checkbox next to a student's name to prevent them from choosing a different during the current intervention.
Fun Fact: When a student is assigned to an offering, they appear on other teachers’ “Available Students” lists with a status—“Selected By,” “Locked By,” or “Student Selected”—to show intervention priority and urgency.
Step Nine: Click the "Save" button to add the offering and student to the "Offerings" list, or click the "Close" button to discard the new offering.
Step Ten (optional): Enter dates and times, or click the “Calendar” and “Alarm Clock” icons in the “Student Access to Offerings” field to set the window of time when students can add themselves to an offering.
Fun Fact: By default, the date and time fields are set to the same values, which disables the student access window and prevents students from signing up for their own flex offerings.
Helpful Tip: Select an offering and click the "Copy Offering" link to duplicate it and/or its student roster for an upcoming intervention block, or click the “Delete Offering” link to remove it from your list.
Step Eleven: Click the "Print" button to print a copy of the roster for the currently selected offering or click the "Export" button to export to a CSV file.
Helpful Tip: Click “Students Not In An Offering” in the “Offerings” box to view all students who have not registered themselves or been assigned by a teacher to a flex offering.
