New Website up and running

This year we are utilizing a new service called SOCS (Simplified Online Communication System) for our website information.

This is a shift from having a single teacher and a handful of students responsible for ALL of the material on the website to having all teachers, administrators, some staff and students responsible.

Teachers and administrators have the ability to put information out to the public instantly through the site and students and parents have the opportunity to subscribe, via email, to news updates.

Students can still work on the site and be edited by teachers. Right now our journalism class will be submitting a lot of work.

JMC parent access and Announcements have prominent buttons in handy places and the use of pictures should increase with the ease of the program.
