Parents/Guardians will need to log into the JMC Parent Portal to register their children for school.
The link to the JMC Parent Portal is: JMC Parent Portal
You will see a screen like below.

Make sure the School Year is 2026-2027 If you know your username and password, put them in and you will be in the portal. Most usernames are the Parent's Last Name; if you don't know your username, then click on the screen above where it says Forgot your Username? If you don't know your password, then on the screen above, simple click on Forgot Your Password. The next screen will ask you to put in an email address (use the one you gave the school or receive school notices at). Follow the prompts and you will receive a link in your email so you can change/setup your password. You follow this same procedure if you don't know if you ever signed in before or ever had a password. If you can't get logged in, then contact the school office your child will be attending for help.
Once logged into the JMC Parent Portal, on the left hand side you will see a tab - Register for 2026-27. Click on that and follow the instructions.
