High Student Academic Achievement: Section 1118(d)
Student/Parent/Teacher Compact
- At the beginning of each school year, a student / parent / teacher compact is developed and distributed to all stakeholders in order to build and develop a partnership to help children achieve the state’s high standards.
- The compact describes the school’s responsibility to provide a high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment. It also describes the way in which parents will be responsible for supporting their children’s learning and ways parents may volunteer and participate in decisions relating to the education of their children. Issues of open communication between parents and teachers are also addressed in the compact.
PARENT COMMUNICATIONS
Communications to all parents related to school and parents’ programs, meetings, and other activities will be in one or more of the following forms:
Newsletters, Flyers, JCAMPUS Messenger and Texts, Open House,
Parent Nights, Phone Calls, Newspaper, Television, Announcements, School Website, Stadium sign, Conferences, District Website, or through social media.
JCAMPUS Communication System
Morgan City High School utilizes the JPAMS Messaging System, which notifies parents and students, by phone, of emergency situations and upcoming school events. It also notifies parents if their child has been absent from school or has received a disciplinary referral. It is extremely important to notify the school if your phone number changes during the school year so that we can continue to have the ability to contact you in a timely manner should the need arise.
Student Progress Center Information
The Student Progress Center is a secure site that helps parents and/or guardians view student information such as grades and attendance.
The Student Progress Center can be accessed from the link on our school’s website or by browsing to this address: https://jpams.stmaryk12.net/progress/. Complete instructions and helpful videos can be found by selecting the Help option.
Registering a New User
To establish an account, a parent or guardian will need to provide the following information for verification:
- The user's relationship to the student
- The user’s Last and First Name
- The PSN number of a student (the last five digits of that student’s Social Security number)
- The home address that is listed with the school for that student.
If the information entered in the Verification step does not match the information on file at the school, the parent or guardian must contact the school secretary to verify/update the information on file.
If the information entered in the Verification step matches the information on file at the school, the user will be asked to create a username and password. These credentials will be used to access the Student Progress Center.
Linking Additional Students
After logging into the Student Progress Center using the credentials created in the previous step, the parent/guardian can click the drop-down arrow on the top right of the screen and select ‘Link Students.” To link other children to this account, you will need the following information:
- The student’s first and last names
- The student’s Social Security number
- The student’s date of birth
If a match is made, the student will be linked to this account. If some of the information does not match with the date on file, the parent/guardian should contact the child’s school.

Where God's green glory shelters her,
She stands triumphant there.
With hearts aglow with deepest love,
Her praises fill the air.
M.C.H.S. Alma Mater,
We love to praise thy name
And always will adore thee
and strive to bring thee fame.
