Online Parent Access
The JMC Parent Access module of the JMC Applications Suite provides parents with
access to JMC student information over the Internet. Parents may use a web browser
such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Netscape from their home or office to view
data for their children for attendance, report cards, progress reports, lesson plans, parent
information (addresses/contact data), lunch accounts, and (MN only) high standards.
Availability of data to parents will be limited by the JMC modules the school district has
purchased, the Online Settings that govern this access and the data the school has posted.
Parents will also be able to submit changes to their parent information over the Internet.
The basic tasks and reports for the Parent Access software are:
-setting up the JMC Online Software to work with a web server
-setting up parent accounts and passwords
-publicizing the web link for the Online Parent Access module
-processing contact data updates from parents
-printing reports and maintaining accounts in the office
-parent usage of the JMC Online Software
-periodic viewing of available data
-submitting contact data updates
In the Office
Parents who are set up as contacts in the JMC data, are designated as "Primary" contacts,
and have "In Mailings" privileges are eligible to access student data for their children via
the Internet. Account maintenance for parent access will generally take place on the Edit
Student Data and Attendance-Contacts-Edit Contacts screens of the JMC Office
Application. Passwords for the parent accounts can be entered or modified on the
Attendance-Contacts-Edit Contacts screen. See Figure 5.
