jmc release updates improve the stability, performance, and security of your jmc software and include updates for jmc Office, jmc Family, jmc Teacher, 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

  • A new option Schedules > Course > Mass Assign Course/Section Data allows users to assign a bell schedule to many course sections at once saving time by eliminating the need to set the bell schedule for each section individually.

  • A student’s advisor will now be displayed on the Missing Scores report for quick access in case an administrator needs to contact the student's advisor about classwork.

  • The office can now attach multiple files/pictures when adding to a student's health visit log to better document a visit at Health > Visit Log > Edit Student Visit Log.

  • Custom fields can now be assigned to specific grade levels of students to hide non-applicable fields during online registration at jmc Family > Online Registration > Setup > Configuration Options.

  • An option was added to File > Online Settings under the Teacher tab to exclude current grade percentages from displaying in jmc Teacher, jmc Family, and jmc Student for schools wanting only to report the current grade without a percentage.

  • The Teacher Utilization report at Schedules > Staff > Teacher Utilization has been upgraded to allow filtering by Quarter and Hex terms in addition to the Semester and Trimester terms currently available to give a shorter, more manageable report just for the current term.

  • On the tuition and fees edit pages, the sort order of charges and payments occurring on the same day was adjusted so charges appear before any payments.

  • A new Wisconsin CTE concentrator report listing student CTE concentrators and their eligible CTE Pathways has been added to help find missing or over-reported records.

  • Nebraska schools can now enter the Nebraska Seal of Biliteracy data on the View Student Data page under the Program History tab to have the seal proudly displayed on a student's transcript.

  • Nebraska schools can now indicate periods of time that students received instruction in any ratio of in-person face-to-face and Virtual/Remote learning on the View Student Data page under the Program History tab.

jmc Office: Updates

  • Addressed a rare problem exporting Reasons Not Assessed values from Attendance > Student > Lists.

  • Improved scrolling in the student selection list box on the Edit Period Attendance page for specific web browsers.

  • Resolved an issue preventing meals served totals from displaying on the Lunch > Reports > Meals Served and Lunch > Reports > A La Carte Items Served reports.

  • Updated the section enrollment count on the Schedules > Course > Course Data List report to match the Schedules > Course > Edit Course Data page.

  • Fixed a pagination issue when printing a large number of absences on a student attendance form letter.

  • Minnesota MCCC local course numbers have been updated to correct a reporting issue.

  • Minnesota MARSS status end date for a status line was corrected to report attendance calculation on the Minnesota > MARSS > Calculate Attendance page.

  • Minnesota MCCC reporting pages for the 2021-2022 year are now available for use.

  • Resolved an issue when users submitted a student’s state ID as a text value instead of a number during Nebraska ADVISER data submissions.

  • Nebraska attendance vents reported to NDE are calculated to a decimal portion of a day using Period Attendance data (instead of the full-day/half-day Attendance module data), thus giving a greater degree of accuracy to the reported attendance values.

  • A fix was made to reporting non-standard course grade schemes in Wisconsin WISEdata.


jmc Teacher: New features and innovations

  • Added the option when setting up Flex Scheduler offerings to copy-locked students and offerings to help small groups who need to meet with the teacher over multiple days, so students don't have to be rostered again.

  • Added the ability for a teacher to sign a student up for a different teacher’s Flex Scheduler offering, saving the extra step of sending the request to the other teacher.

  • The student’s advisor will now be displayed on the Missing Scores report for quick access in case the teacher needs to contact the student's advisor about classwork.

  • Teachers can now enter a class comment for display on all students’ progress reports to keep families updated about class progress.

  • More student sorting options were added to match the order when working with other instruction tools like Google Classroom to allow student lists to line up side by side in both jmc Teacher and Google Classroom.

  • Teachers can now print the conference schedule page for past conference dates to reference who attended conferences.

jmc Teacher: Updates

  • The Student Summary report now correctly hides the category percentages when the Grade Cutoffs “Use Point Value Grade Scale” checkbox is checked.

  • An issue was fixed when editing a student score note on the Score Formative Assessments page which gave an error and didn't allow saving the note.


jmc Family: New features and innovations

  • Modified the sort order of upcoming conference dates to sort chronologically with the oldest first so approaching conference dates are more easily selected.

  • Made a change to hide past teacher conference dates allowing families to only view the current term's conference dates so families don't accidentally sign up for past conferences.

jmc Family: Updates

  • Fixed an issue during Online Registration where adding an allergy or medication could have caused non-skipped fields to be hidden.

  • Addressed a rare situation where the parent registration checklist would not show “date completed” if a nested question was marked required but the foundational question was not marked as required.


jmc Student: Updates

  • Fixed an issue where the student class rank could have displayed incorrectly on the unofficial transcript.


jmc Family app: Updates

  • A display update was made in the Family app for Android when families were viewing teacher information within a section.


jmc Admin Connect app: Updates

  • An issue was addressed where attachments were not consistently uploading causing emails to be sent without the intended attachments.
