  1. Discipline Reports for IEP Students Only

    Please add a IEP and 504 to the range options for running discpline reports. This will be useful for double checking state reporting (where only spec ed students are reported for certain actions) and other data analysis.

    Thank you.

  3. MCCC drop after this date should be sent to MCCC

    I just found out that we are required to enter a date for when grades should be sent after a drop for MCCC. Since I have many course lengths for each school, it is very time-intensive to change these dates each year by hand. It would be very helpful to have a process with year-end to enter those dates like we do when entering calendar dates. Or a utility to mass assign that date for terms across calendars and entities like we do for attendance days/workshop days/vacation days. Something where it isn't an individual update.

  4. RFE for 'Guidance' Note/Visit Attachments

    The counselors love that they are able to add attachments here for others that have a 'need to know' could access. But this is NOT an option. The only way to see the attachment is if the other person has "edit' access and others should not be in edit mode under another individuals entry.

    Please make the Attachment in Guidance Visit visible to other if needed.

  5. Parent approval for student requested courses via Family Access

    When a student enters their course requests, to have it go to the parent in family access for approval, before it goes to the school. Instead of having to print the course request sheet and send home for signature, allow the parents to sign in and approve the course requests via Family Access.

  6. Please make "other name" exportable in the export file builder for use in outside applications like Smartpass

  8. Looking for an option in data mining to assist us with the legal first name vs the preferred name.

    I worked on a service call 5946641 for our district and Skyward was unable to come up with a solution that would identify a difference in these names quickly. This information is needed for our building staff. Our nurse recently complained that she was unable to find a student due to this issue and expressed that this could escalate an emergency situation. I would like a report I could give to key building staff such as our administrators, secretaries, nurse, etc to let them know who the students are that have preferred names vs legal names and what they are.

  9. Add ACC INSTR in Special Programs to the Mass Add/End Utilities

    Please add the ACC INSTR (for accelerated instruction) option in Special Programs to the Mass Add and End Utilities for Special Programs. I've looked and ACC INSTR is not an option in either location in the Mass Add or End utilities. Thank you.

  11. Entity button for program records

    With all the program records needed for Ed-Fi and now many needing to be entity-specific, it would be nice to either allow us to select the entity when we add the record from 000 (or any entity) or even better give us an entity button like on the entry/withdrawal tab so we can add the record correctly. Flipping between several entities for one student is cumbersome and confusing.

  12. Change History in the gradebook.

    Teachers often change due dates for assignments. There is no history to show this. It would be nice to see when any change is made in gradebook.

  13. In the admin side of message center, it would be helpful for the office staff to

    be able to drill down into teachers classes directly to send information out to specific students so the information could be posted on specific students. We would like to be able to email and post this information without having to do processing lists each time we want to do this. At this point you can send the information to the entire class but cannot send to specific students. We are trying to automate a process and this would speed things up if they could select only the specific students and contact them both by messenger and email at the same…

  15. Default Date for Parent Entered Requests

    It would be helpful to have the date field in the Parent Entered Requests screen to not default to the calendar day minus 7 days. We have several parents who are putting in requests many weeks ahead of time and we are not seeing those because the date is only a week back. It would be great if we could set it to the first day of school or a date of our choosing.

  16. Option to add Outstanding Fee(s) to the custom report card

    Option to add Outstanding Fee(s) to the custom report card. This option is already available on the regular report card but not on the custom report card, so this should not be a very difficult PR.

  17. Special Education Accommodations in Gradebook.

    Could a clickable accommodations menu be created in grade book assignments? This would be helpful documentation for special education and 504 students. The list of accommodations might include oral administration, calculator, small group, extra time, copy of notes, etc.

  18. Check Request Status Queue

    In the IN Ed-Fi Request Individual IDs from API tool, when choosing check request status, could that be changed to a queue of requests from the user? It is difficult to check the request when the only option is to put in the ID #.
