Student Transcripts!

Transcripts can now be viewed in student/parent JMC.  You can print an "unofficial transcript" from there.  This is most pertinent to juniors/seniors who may need them for information regarding college applications!  You can view your transcripts by:

Logging into JMC

Select "Report Cards/Transcripts"

Select "Transcripts"

You can see your ACT scores (if you have tested), your G.P.A., class rank, etc!!!

This is a great new feature!

Keep in mind that if a college requests a transcript, they will likely want an official one, which must be requested from Mrs. Tribby in the front office.

Senior Awards Day!
