Jupiter ED – A Guide to the Learning Management System & Gradebook

Alex Misc

Jupiter ED is a comprehensive online learning management system (LMS) that helps educational institutions manage and streamline their academic processes. With Jupiter ED, teachers, students, and administrators can easily access and share information, communicate, collaborate, and stay organized.

Jupiter ED offers a range of features that cater to the diverse needs of educators and learners. For instance, teachers can create and share lesson plans, assignments, quizzes, and assessments with their students, while also tracking their progress and providing feedback. Students, on the other hand, can submit their work online, participate in discussions, and view their grades and performance reports. Administrators can use Jupiter ED to manage attendance, schedules, transcripts, and other administrative tasks, as well as to generate reports and analytics on student performance and outcomes.

One of the benefits of Jupiter ED is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy for educators and learners to navigate and use the platform. Additionally, Jupiter ED is cloud-based, which means it can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, using any device with an internet connection. This makes it particularly useful for distance learning, hybrid learning, and flipped classroom models, as well as for traditional in-person classes.

Jupiter ED also integrates with other educational software and tools, such as Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology, allowing schools to customize their learning ecosystem to meet their specific needs and preferences.

Overall, Jupiter ED is an all-in-one solution that simplifies and streamlines academic processes for schools, while also improving the teaching and learning experience for educators and students alike. Whether you’re a teacher looking for an efficient way to manage your classroom, a student wanting to stay on top of your coursework, or an administrator needing to manage school-wide operations, Jupiter ED has something to offer.

The Story of Jupitered

The Story of Jupitered
The Story of Jupitered

In terms of inventiveness, Jupitered is at the top. Since most of their rivals were upgrading their outdated standalone software, they were the first to create an all-in-one learning platform and student information system, which they designed from the ground up as a web-hosted service. As the team created all of our features by themselves rather than acquiring them from outside sources, all of their modules share the same database and offer a similar user interface.

They were established in 2004 and now work with 4 million kids across 50 states. Their undivided attention is on creating the greatest solution for schools because they we’ve been profitable since 2006 and are entirely self-funded, with no investors.

Jupiter ED Quick Start & Setup Guide

Preparation

  1. To configure your school settings, go to Setup > Schools in Admin Mode. If your account contains numerous schools, they should be listed in a menu in the top-left. If not, click Create School and complete the instructions. Then contact us so we can combine your schools into one account. You require distinct schools for elementary, middle, and/or high school if your K-8 or K-12 institution uses different attendance policies (daily vs. period) or bell schedules for the various grade levels. To learn more, get in touch with us. Before moving on, wait until all schools are scheduled. Every step listed below, except those with an asterisk (*), should be repeated for each school.
  2.  To set security constraints, go to Setup > Security.
  3. To control what parents and students can see online, go to Setup > Online/Offline. Moreover, you may embed a Jupiter login link for students and parents on your website.
  4. To set your grading intervals, go to Schedule > Terms.
  5. To establish times/periods, go to Schedule > Bell Schedules (if any). To arrange school days, go to Schedule > School Days.
  6. To configure fields, labels, and who can view/edit which fields, go to Setup > Custom Fields. Verify everything at the bottom by scrolling there. Go to Setup > Messaging as well.

Import

To import data from your SIS, go to Setup > Import/Export. The simplest technique to import everything at once and maintain automatic synchronization is clever. Alternatively, manually import data files into Jupiter after exporting them from your SIS.

To ensure your import is proper, go to Staff > Edit/Add and select anyone. Set permissions for each employee as well.

To ensure your import is proper, go to Students > Edit/Add and choose any student from Locate Student.
