At a clear screen, click inside the name field.
Fields in Red must be entered. They are required by the Tangipahoa Parish School
System.
Student Name - Enter the student’s last name, first name, middle name and suffix (Jr.

name change.

parents the chance to update their mailing address.

Formatting Rules:
Street Number and Street Name should be on the first line of the address along with the apt. or lot number. If the parent did not indicate whether it is a lot or apt number, then use the “#” instead. Please make sure you use the correct abbreviations.
Street - ST Road - RD Avenue - AVE Boulevard - BLVD Highway - HWY Drive – DR Court – CT
Lane - LN Extension - EXT Circle – CIR Square - SQ Place – PL Estate – EST North - N
South - S East - E West – W Northeast – NE Northwest – NW Southeast – SE Southwest - SW
The majority of addresses should have one of these abbreviations at the end. There are a few exceptions. For instance, address beginning with Rue would not. The town of Tangipahoa and Natalbany should only have PO boxes. You should not have a street address with Natalbany or Tangipahoa as the city. Highway and Avenue should be spelled out if it precedes the names of the highway or avenue such as Highway 1064 or Avenue F. It should be abbreviated if it follows the name of the highway or avenue such as Old Baton Rouge Hwy or Merry Ave. DO NOT abbreviate the name of a street. For example, Martin Luther King Dr should never be entered as MLK Dr or M.L.K. Dr. Railroad Ave should not be entered as RR Ave. The zip code must be correct for the town. The town should be correct for the street address, etc. Do not put LA next to the city. There is a separate place for state.
Never use punctuation.
Physical Address –
The physical address should be the 911 address where the student resides.
The same formatting rules apply to this address except the lot or apt number should be
placed on the second street address line.

a home phone, they need to provide you with the phone number of a neighbor or family

should be entered in this field as well as their relation to the student. There is also a
check box indicating whether or not the person they live with has custody papers.

Once the Code(s) have been chosen, click on the
“Close” button. The “alarm codes” field will show the

This is to alert you that there is something about this
student that you need to be aware of.
16
The student ID field is generated by JPAMS. Never change this number. The Student ID
is the field that links all of this student’s information together.
The SS Number is the student’s social security number. This number should be taken
from the student’s social security card. If you find that this number was previously
entered in error, please call M.I.S. to change it. We have to notify School Food Service
about the change. You can change the number yourself if you catch the error on the
same day that you entered it.
It’s very important that the social security number be entered correctly. A lot of reports
and “matching programs” are depending on it to be correct. The number you enter is
sent to the State Department, who in turn uses it for the TOPS scholarship and for LEAP
testing. The State Department uses this number to match against the Food Stamps file to
determine which students are “directly certified” for free lunches. The SSN is also sent
to the School Food Service Department.
If the student cannot provide you with an SSN, you will need to create a temporary SSN.
To do this, double-click inside the SSN field. A pop-up box will appear asking if you
want to create a temporary SSN. Click on “Yes”. A number will be assigned for you.
If you create a temporary number, the student will eventually need to bring a copy of
their SSN number to you. At that point, you would follow the procedures for “Changing
a Social Security Number”.
The grade level that the student is placed in should be chosen from the drop-down list.
Special Education students that are not working towards a diploma are to be given their
“age appropriate” grade level.
The gender of the student should be taken from the birth certificate and chosen from the
drop down box.
17
The race/ethnicity of the student should be
taken from the registration form. You may
enter up to two races.
If the child has only one race entered on the registration form, choose that race by
clicking on the down arrow and clicking on the correct race. You will immediately be
taken to a second pop-up screen called “Secondary Ethnic”. If the child had a second
race indicated on the registration form, then choose the second race by clicking in the
box.
The birth date of the student should be taken from the birth certificate.
To enter the birth date, click inside the birth date field. A “Birth Information” pop-up
will appear.
Click inside the birth date field on this screen.
Click inside the race code and a pop-up
screen will appear.
Click on the “Close” button.
18
We do not use the rest of the fields on this screen.
Click on the “Close” button.
The locker number is optional. Click inside the locker number field. A “Locker
Information” box will appear. Enter the locker number.
A calendar will appear. Click on the correct date (you
can choose the correct year, then the correct month to
find the birth date).
Once you have chosen the correct birth date, this
calendar box will disappear and the birth date will now
be in the birth date field.
The birth date as well as the student’s age will
appear in the birth date field. This student’s birth
date is September 6, 2001 and is 6 years old.
Click on “Close.”
Click inside the
“Transportation” field. A
pop-up screen will appear.

This field displays the total absences for the students. AYTD stands for “Attendance
Year-to-Date.” It also displays the current date.
We don’t have advisors in our school system but this field has been used for things like
the temporary homeroom teacher.
Click inside the field and a pop-up will appear that contains a list of all teachers. Click
on the teacher that you want to choose and that teacher’s name will appear in the
Advisor field.
When you click inside the Entry Date field, you will receive this warning box.
You may choose the type of
transportation.

Special Notes:
A rollover is a student that either ended the prior year at your school or at a feeder
school.
Code E1 is only to be used for rollovers or beginning kindergarteners or pre-schoolers.
Entry Date – Enter the Entry Date by clicking inside the white box and choosing the
correct date from the calendar. Once you click on the date, the calendar will disappear
and the date will be inside the Entry Date field.
Note: The Entry Date should be the first day that the student attends a class at your
school. Do not enter the date that the student registered. The only exception would be
kindergarteners. If all kindergarteners at your school start several days after the first
day of school because of testing, then enter their entry date as the first day of school.
Otherwise, we will receive an error from the State Department because all Original
Enrollments must have the first day of school as their Entry date.
Transferred From – This field is mandatory even though JPAMS dose not require it.
This should be the name of the school where the student transferred from. If the student
is from out of State, then choose the state’s name from the list (choose the one that has a
SITE ID listed, even if it says Katrina Displaced). The school or state MUST be chosen
from the dropdown menu. If you cannot find a particular school or country, please email
one of our staff and we will add it for you.
Address, City, State and Zip – The address of the school that the student transferred
from may be entered here. This field is optional.
You may either scroll down to find the
name of the school or click on the first
few letters of the school name using the
keypad on the screen.
Click on “Insert School” and the school
name will now be in the “Transferred
From” field.
22
Date Request Sent – This should be the date that a request for records was made. This
field is optional.
Date Request Received – This should be the date that the transferring school sent you
the records. This field is optional.
US Entry information should be entered on students that were not born in this country
and on students that are “Limited English Proficient”.
This information should be obtained from the Home Language Survey form that every
student must fill out when registering for school.
Entry Date – This is the date that the student first entered the United States.
Country of Birth – This is the country that the student was born.
Language Code – Required – Click inside the language code field and choose the
primary language spoken by the student.
Home Language – Optional - Click inside the home language field and choose the
language spoken in the student’s home.
Native Language – Optional - Click inside the native language field and choose the
language of the student’s native country.
Correspondence Language – Optional - Click inside the correspondence language field

23
Other Languages – Optional – Choose as many of these fields as necessary to indicate
other languages spoken by the student.

- Fully English proficient
- Limited English proficient or
- LEP passed first parts of ELDA.
Funding Source – Code indicating title of program denoting the primary funding source
for instructional language services for students identified as Limited English Proficient
(LEP).
Notes: • This field must be filled whenever English Proficiency Code = 02.
• If English Proficiency Code = 01, this field must be left blank.
• SIS will track former LEP students, students identified as having a limited
proficiency in English at some point in their school career, for two years following
their last reported LEP status. This is done to comply with State and Federal
reporting requirements. This tracking will begin in the 2005-2006 school year.
• If students qualify as LEP but refuse LEP services use code 13.
Click inside the Funding Source field and a list will appear with the following options:
01 Title One Basic Program 08 MFP Only

03 Migrant Education 10 8(g) Competitive Grant
04 Special Education 11 Local Funding
05 Vocational Education 12 Other State Services
06 Title VII Bilingual Education 13 NO Services Provided
07 Emergency Immigrant Program 14 Title III
Choose the correct reason for funding.
Migratory Status – We do not use.
- Not part of the registration process. See section below on
“Promoting/Retaining”.
24
This should always be the site code for your school. It should be preset by the system and
will not allow you to change.
The District ID is always 053 for Tangipahoa Parish.
The year should always be the year you are working in, usually the current school year.
Note: Be very careful choosing the correct year after school ends and before it begins
the following year. It is very easy to get confused on which year you should be working
in. If your school has “rolled over”, you should probably be working in the next school
year. If not, you will probably be working in the current school year.
- not part of the registration process. See section below on
“Changing social security numbers”.

25
You have successfully entered a new student into JPAMS!
Used for classes that stay with the same teacher for the entire school day. This type of
scheduling is most often used for grades Pre-K – 4. Self-contained scheduling uses the
courses assigned to a teacher in the Master Schedule. Every course assigned to a
particular teacher will also be assigned to the student.
Please be patient. It takes this screen a minute or two to come up.
From the Student Master Screen, you will
need to click on the word “Name”.
Then choose “Schedule”.
26
At the bottom of this screen is a master schedule screen. Click on the “SC” button on
the right side of the screen.
On this screen, you will see a list of teachers to the left and a list of students to the
right. Find the student that you are trying to schedule and place a checkmark in the
“select” box next to their name. Then click on the teacher’s name that you want to
schedule that student to.
You will get the following message.
27
You will have to “x” off the scheduling screen and pull it back up in order for the
student’s schedule to appear.
Block Scheduling (Departmentalized) Used for classes that stay together all day but
rotate from one teacher to another. This type of scheduling is most often used for
grades 5 – 8.
A block will have the homeroom teacher’s name as the block name. Every
class/teacher that that particular group of students go to each period will be listed in
the block. For instance, if Ms. Smith’s homeroom stays with her the first three periods
and they take Reading, English and Spelling. Then they go to Ms. James for the next
two periods, taking Science/ Studies and Math, then the block will look something like
this:
Click on “OK.”
You will get a message telling you
that the scheduling is complete.
Click on “OK.”
28
Note: Before you can block schedule, you must have your blocks already set up.
Then choose “Schedule”.
Please be patient. It takes this screen a minute or two to come up.
At the bottom of this screen is a master schedule screen. Click on the “BLK” button
on the right side of the screen. A setup screen will appear.
From the Student Master Screen, you will need to click
on the word “Name”.
29
Click on the teacher’s name first.
Next, click inside the HMRM field, next to the
student’s name. The teacher’s name should now
appear in the HMRM box.
Once the teacher’s name appears, you can “x” out of
the block scheduling screen and return to the student
master screen. If you pull up that student’s schedule,
you should see every class that the student will be
going to each period.
Fill out the questions. If you aren’t
sure, use the example above (which
are the defaults) and click “OK.”
Click on “ONESTU”.
30
Student Request Scheduling is used by all High Schools and some Jr. Highs.
Student Schedule Maintenance allows you to add one class/section at a time to a
student’s schedule.
Please be patient. It takes this screen a minute or two to come up.
From the Student Master Screen, you will need to click on
the word “Name”.
Then choose “Schedule”.
31
Used mostly by high schools. It allows you to enter requests for a student and will
create the schedule for you.
Click on “Schedule” and choose number 19, “Student Pattern Board Scheduler”.
First, click inside the SEM1
column for the period that you
want to add a class.
Next, scroll down the Master
Schedule until you find the class
that you want to add to the
student’s schedule. Click on that
class.
The class will now appear in the
student’s schedule.
Repeat the process until all
periods have been filled.
On the setup screen, make sure your year is
correct and press “OK.”
32
Once you have found your student, a master schedule will appear at the bottom of the
screen.
To add requests, click on the subjects that you want to add from the master schedule
list. Those subjects will appear in the top part of the screen.
To delete a request, click inside the “D” column that is highlighted in pink, next to the

click on the “Find”
button.
33
If you decide you want to unscheduled a class, you can click on the “S” and it will
turn back to an “A”, indicating that the class is not scheduled.
To unscheduled all classes, you can either click on every “S” or you can click on the
button.
The student below is completely scheduled.
You can right click on one of the S’s to see the teacher. If two or more teachers
appear, you may choose which teacher you would like this student to have.
The SBLC Code should be entered at the end of the school year, after it is determined
which students have failed and which students have been promoted. They should be
entered before your students are rolled-over to the new school year. Students marked as
retained will not be placed in the next grade.
The letter “A” will appear for every period
that the class is offered, both 1st semester
and 2nd
semester.
In this example, Account II is offered only
2nd
period each semester.
You can either click on the A to schedule
the student in each class or you can click
on the “Auto Schedule” button at
the top of the screen.
All schedule classes will have an “S”
instead of an “A”.
34
High Schools:
If you are a high school that rolls-over in the spring, you can still put your SBLC
Codes in at the end of school and roll-over a second time. Rolling-over again does
not affect your schedules. They will not be erased.
Let’s say you have an 8th
grader that rolled over to your school in the spring and

and the feeder school has entered their SBLC codes in. This student now has a
“retained” code entered. The schedule will not be erased. You just will not be able
to view it.
If the feeder school then decides that they will promoted the student, because of

your school. The schedule will then be re-attached to the student’s record. You
will not have to reenter it.

Students should be dropped from JPAMS as soon as the parent/guardian notifies the
school that the student is leaving and all information (grades, attendance, discipline) has
been completed in JPAMS.
Do not keep a student enrolled in JPAMS because the student owes the school money.
The next school cannot enroll a student until the previous school has dropped him/her.

Choose the code that best describes the reason the student is leaving.
Special Notes:
Students that transfer to the Juvenile Detention Center should be coded as “Transfer
within District/pub/charter/Lab, not as “Transfer to Correctional Institution”
Leave Date - Enter the Leave Date by clicking inside the white box and choosing the
correct date from the calendar. Once you click on the date, the calendar will disappear
and the date will be inside the Leave Date field.
Note: The Leave Date should be the day after the student’s last day in class at your
school. Do not enter the date that the parent/guardian notifies you that the student has
left or is leaving your school. Do not use the date that you receive request for records.
For students that stop attending school, do not use the date that you determine the
student needs to be dropped. Always use the day after the last day in class.
The only exception to this rule is when the student is suspended for a number of days and
then does not return to school. You may use the day after his last day of suspension as
39
the leave date. However, be careful when doing this. If you know the student began
attending another school on the second day of his suspension, then put the second day of
his suspension as the leave date.
Transferred To – This field is mandatory even though JPAMS dose not require it.
This should be the name of the school where the student is transferring to. If the student
is going out of State, then choose the state’s name from the list (choose the one that has
a SITE ID listed, even if it says Katrina Displaced). The school or state MUST be
chosen from the dropdown menu. If you cannot find a particular school, please email
one of our staff and we will add it for you.
If the student is leaving to go out of country, it is okay to type the name in.
Date Request Received – This should be the date that the transferring school sent you
the records. This field is optional.
Date Request Sent – This should be the date that a request for records was made. This
field is optional.
Click the “SAVE” button.
You may either scroll down to find the
name of the school or click on the first
few letters of the school name using the
keypad on the screen.
Click on “Insert School” and the school
name will now be in the “Transferred
To” field.
