  1. Student Conflict Detail Report Needs a Display Period option

    When using Period Redefinition, the Student Conflict Detail report can be difficult to read because it displays the scheduling periods. There needs to be an option to print using the display period instead so the report is easier to interpret. It is already a difficult report to read, and when Period redef is set up it makes things far more confusing. Being able to see the conflicts by display period will help to be sure that courses are flowing the way that is expected. The scheduling board shows the periods by display period, so the student conflict detail report doing…

  2. Increase New Student Online Enrollment Clarification/Field Sizes

    I am currently setting up New Student Online Enrollment for our school district and when I explain the process on the parent side to college educated people I have to repeatedly explain that the New Student Online Enrollment is in reality (for our school process, I understand this could be the only step for enrollment for new students) more like an application, which we verify, and then they would completed the Student Registration. I wish there were more characters under the General Application Options "Rename "New Student Online Enrollment" to: New Student Online Enrollment Application to help clarify this process…

  3. Tiny Quality of Life Improvement

    On the Skyward support site the drop downs in the blue banner, Stay Current, Customer Support, Downloads, etc. in Google Chrome at 100% zoom often times when I draw the cursor down to select an item in the drop down menu the drop down menu disappears. I imagine this is due to a tiny gap between the blue banner and the drop down because when I increase the zoom to 110% or higher this doesn't happen. I don't know how much of a difference it makes to others, nor the amount of work required to fix something like this, but…

  5. Upload button for POR when parents request Student Info change

    Add the feature for parents to upload a new proof of residency or an attachment from the screen where they are requesting the change in Family Access. We do not make the change without documentation so when we see it in approvals, we need to look up student and contact parent. The ability to add a free form message would be helpful as well or a pop up letting them know a new POR will be required.

  7. Mass Update At Risk Field

    Currently we can only mass add one record to our At Risk field. The state of KS has up to 12 options to check that qualifies a student for At Risk. Once we mass add a category ie ESOL if we get a list of another indicator later ie Migrant we can do a mass add, but it will only pull in those that aren't already marked. We then have to go in to each student and mark them individually. In our district we have several thousand ESOL, several thousand students who are marked under the Dyslexia screener and almost…

  9. Add secondary guardian contact number to display in Student Profile

    We would like to include both guardians' phone numbers in the student profile, as shown in the attached screenshot. This addition is essential for emergency situations, as individuals are currently unable to find the second guardian's phone number in the information panel. In an emergency, it is crucial that this information is easily accessible.

  10. Add student / state / alphakey ids to the monthly/quarterly report

    There are currently no student ids for the monthly/quarterly report. Any id would be a wonderful addition to be able to compare against state files for chronic attendance. Thank you!

  11. SMS 2.0 Base ADM Report by student in Excel Format

    Base ADM Report by Student – exportable to Excel. At TDASC we were offered ideas on how to reconcile ADM to SOWRD on individual student basis. It seems that the other State SIS vendors already offer this report in Excel. The report should include the individual student [EdFi ID] and the individual student ADM per each reporting period. This Excel Export would be extremely beneficial to reconcile ADM to the State System. The exact same report is available now in SOWRD. I have attached the SOWRD headers.

  12. NSOE application routing for cross-over grade level entities

    Allow for grade level options to be added to the path type when creating address paths.

    Currently, if two campuses have the same grade level options in the address path, the NSOE application gets kicked to the ISD instead of routing based on the Elementary path type.

    Example: We have an elementary that serves EE-3 and one that serves EE-5. The EE-3 elementary applications do not route to them if the middle school address path is for the EE-5 campus because the system cannot differentiate between the grade levels on the path type.

  15. Graduation Req Base Year column added to the Parent Entered Requests View

    A column with the students' cohort year in the Parent Entered Requests view would be helpful when schools need to sort through the list. Especially, for large schools with a separate campus, for example, that only house 9th graders. The attendance secretary can sort by grad req base year to easily process the requests for 9th graders only.

  17. Ability to run Voc Ed hours and Daily Register for a single student

    It would be super helpful to have the ability to run Voc Ed Hrs utility and Daily Register by student(s) so that, when making corrections to a student or just a few students, you would not have to run for the entire grade level or campus to update the student details to Ed-Fi - especially with the new ATND submissions every six weeks.

  18. Minimize the font size on the transcript template to allow the course codes to print on one line

    With the new requirements to include the service ID#s or Course Codes, the transcripts are looking messy and unprofessional because the course codes are printing on another line on the transcript. This is causing transcripts to be much longer than needed with the additional line for each course completed for every student. If we are allowed to minimize our font size ourselves without creating a custom transcript, that would be helpful. My hope is that Skyward will understand the need for this to be created or allowed to ensure their product looks professional and allow for updates that are required…

  20. Allow more info into the Information Report

    Adding Health Conditions and Alert Information to this report would be very helpful and vital in an emergency. This report is what is printed if DCF, LEO, or any other emergency services need specific information on students. This information report is the most useful spot our district has found to add this information and access it quickly in an emergency.
