The "Programs" tab on the View Student Data page in jmc Office allows districts to record a student’s participation in state-reportable programs, creating a program history record for each entry that captures the data required for WISEdata reporting.

These records connect student participation in specific educational programs to DPI reporting requirements, helping ensure your district’s data remains accurate, complete, and ready for submission. Keeping program history records up to date also supports compliance with state and federal reporting requirements.

Understanding Program History Records

A program history record in jmc captures a student's participation in structured education programs, including career and technical education, language and multilingual programs, and student support and services programs. Each record stores the information needed to report student participation to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), helping ensure your data is complete, accurate, and ready for submission.
