Student Lists in jmc Teacher makes it easy to create custom lists and reports quickly and efficiently. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can create a list of students by birthday, primary contacts, bussing information, or any other criteria that is important to you. Additionally, you can easily sort and filter your lists to display the information that you need. Once you have created your list you can print or export it for easy viewing and sharing.

To start creating a student data list, log in to jmc Teacher and navigate to Reports > Student Lists.

Step One: Click the “+” icon next to a category from the "Step 1" column to reveal data items available within that category.

Step Two: Click data items within a category to select them for your report.

A few helpful tips:

  • Reorganize your list by dragging and dropping your selections or use your arrow keys to move a selected item.

  • Remove an item from your list by highlighting it and clicking the "X" button.

Step Three: Select "Ranges" from the "Type" drop-down list in the "Step 2" column to choose a range from any category item or select "Random" to select specific students to include in the report.

Helpful Tip: Click the "Add" link when choosing a range of students to specify the range included in the report.

Step Four (optional): Click the “+” icon next to a "Ranges" category to display a list of data items that are available to be added to the selection range.

Step Five (optional): Finish the "Range" by selecting the bottom and top level of the range from the "From" and "To" drop-down lists.

Step Six (optional): Click the "Ok" button to add the new range or the "Close" button to exit.

A few helpful tips:

  • Repeat step three through six to add more than one search range to a report (for example, Grades 3-6 and Last Names M-Z).

  • Highlight the range and click the “Remove” link to remove a range.

Step Seven: Select the appropriate status from the "Active Status" drop-down list to narrow your report to "Include My Students Only" or "Include Active Students Only".

Step Eight: Click the "Add" link from the "Step 3" column to choose the order of individual data items within the report that are sorted.

Step Nine: Click the “+” icon next to a sortable category and click a data item to sort the report by a specified data item.

Fun Fact: If the name, grade, and bus number items are selected in "Step 1", the report will display the name, grade, and bus number columns left to right. If you choose to sort by bus number in "Step 3", the student list will be organized top to bottom by bus number.

Step Ten: Click the “Preview” button to view a report of data items selected in "Step 1", with the range of students selected in "Step 2" sorted top to bottom by the data items selected in "Step 3".

Step Eleven: Click the "Print", "Export Data", and/or "Create Labels" buttons to perform the associated function:

  • Print: print the report to your local printer or save as a PDF

  • Export Data: export the report to a CSV file

  • Create Labels: print the report in a label format to your local printer

Helpful Tip: Place a checkmark in the "Number Items" checkbox to show a number beside each row of data for a quick way to see the number of results from your query!

Fun Fact: Change your mind? Want to start over? Click the "Clear Selected" button to clear your search query.

Step Twelve: Enter the name of the report in the "Save Report As" field and click the "Save Report" button to reference the report in the future.

Helpful Tip: Prepare for the upcoming school year by creating and saving several reports over summer break, then run the saved reports as needed throughout the school year!
