jmc release updates improve the stability, performance, and security of your jmc software and include updates for jmc Office, jmc Family, jmc Student, and other apps that are part of the jmc software family.

We recommend updating whenever a new version is available so you always have the latest and greatest feature set.

jmc Office: New features and innovations

  • There's a new Sort by Student Name option on the Form Signatures page to allow you to see signatures sorted by student.

  • We added Seamless Summer Option verbiage to Lunch Eligibility Notification Letters to make it simple for schools to notify families of their district's choice to participate in the program.

  • When editing the address of a contact record, it will now validate the address with the USPS and offer close matches, which means no more returned school mail!

  • A new checkbox, "Active Student Only", has been added to the Attendance Absent Tardy Check reports so you can now filter out inactive students.

  • We added the ability to store a description with each custom-designed form to describe the form's intended use to other jmc Office users. Woohoo!

  • When creating a new custom form, you now have the ability to choose a template from the stock form library so you can now hit the ground running with your new form.

  • There is now an extra space between discipline incidents on the Student discipline report making it more readable so you can ditch those readers.

  • In the Tuition/Fees > Reports > Fee Payments report, you now have a "Carryover from last year" option. Now you can easily identify carryover charges and payments from last year instead of being hidden from the report.

  • Made a number of enhancements and updates to jmc's Flex scheduler to make it even more intuitive. Thanks, PEM and TCU!

  • You can no longer delete a fee charge if it has a payment attached in Tuition/Fees > Data > Edit Family Fee Data.

  • Fixed an issue exporting comments containing HTML in Attendance > Student > Lists.

  • Fixed an AJAX error in Minnesota > Ed-Fi > Update Students By Grade Level.

  • 21-22 Minnesota Ed-Fi fixes.

  • DOAH! Drops are now included on the Drop/Add export file.

  • You'll no longer receive an error when deleting an activity commendation.

  • Custom fields in a form from last year will now only show current year data in Attendance > Student > Lists.

  • Fixed an issue importing a new student via the Student Transfer feature.


jmc Teacher: New features

  • Now display an assignment summary on the Edit Scores page in jmc Teacher for quick access to score statistics.

  • Display assignment names at an angle for better use of space and in color for easier reference.


โ€‹jmc Teacher: Updates
