2024-25 Registration Forms

For the 2024-25 School Year, we have several forms that parents/students may need to complete. We will be doing registration online through JMC. Starting August 1st, you will be able to log onto your Parent JMC Account and complete the registration process. Go to ehawks.onlinejmc.com, click on Family and enter your Username and Password. If you do not currently have access to JMC, please contact the office to get this access set-up. If you forgot your password, click Forgot Password and you will be sent an e-mail to update this information.

We will again complete school registration online this year. This process will be updated and ready for parents to complete on August 1st. Please read the directions on the online registration carefully and double check that all steps have been completed. For any families that need assistance with this process, please contact the office in the building in which your student attends to schedule an appointment. We will have computers and secretaries available to help parents with this process if you do not have access at home or need assistance.

The District is asking all parents to pay their fees online through JMC. Resources to access this information is below and contained in the registration process. For the 2024-25 School Year, the District will not assess any fees for these online payments.
