Summer school software for weekly programs, enrollment and parent updates
Summer school software is a system for short programs that open when schools close, covering sign-ups, weekly groups, attendance, fees and messages to parents. In Jamaster LMS each week or block is defined separately, so one child can join the first two weeks of July while a sibling signs up for August. Automation rules handle the groundwork for lesson reminders, absence follow-ups and birthday messages.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
What a summer school has to fit into a few weeks
An enrollment rush in a few weeks
Summer sign-ups pile up in the weeks before schools close, and each week has its own places. When every weekly program is its own group, capacity is visible week by week and nobody is booked into a full week.
Class lists that change every week
One child comes for two weeks, another for four, and a teacher's paper list is out of date by Monday. Group lists and QR attendance show who is in this week, and three consecutive absences open a follow-up meeting plan.
The same parent questions every morning
Questions about what happens on which day or whether a time has moved keep the phone busy all summer. A reminder rule that drafts an SMS two hours before each lesson, plus templated bulk SMS, keeps parents informed in advance.

Summer school software lets a summer program handle sign-ups, weekly groups, attendance, fees and parent messages without spreadsheets. Jamaster LMS works from any browser.
How do I manage weekly enrollment for a summer program?
Each week or block of weeks is a separate term and group, and a child is added to the groups for the weeks they attend. Capacity shows per group, and education reports give enrollments by term.
How are reminder messages to parents prepared?
With the lesson reminder rule switched on, an SMS draft is created two hours before each lesson. For wider announcements you can also use SMS and email templates.

The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly). SMS packages are bought separately. Before the season starts, build your weeks and groups during a 10-day trial that costs nothing.
