Attendance Type Codes
This year, State of Indiana DOE implemented 6 new attendance type codes to collect additional data regarding the reason for excused absences. The new codes have two characters, but when adding new codes in Skyward, that field is limited to one character. I know we can use whatever code we want and crosswalk to the state codes, but it would be much easier for staff to interpret attendance reports if we could use the same two character codes as IDOE vs arbitrarily chosen single character codes.

Flexibility in listing absences in attendance letters
When creating custom attendance letters, tables listing student absences must currently match the absence codes used in the threshold to generate those letters. I request the flexibility to trigger letters based on specific absence types (e.g., unexcused only) while displaying all absence types (both excused and unexcused) in the letter itself.

Attendance Tab - Add the option to select specific days of the week for reoccurring absences during a specific hour(s).
If a student has an appointment during 7th and 8th hour every Thursday for three consecutive weeks, we have to choose each date, add in the attendance, save and then choose the next date. Being able to isolate specific class periods for specific days of the week within a date range, would make for a smoother process.

parent entered request
Add the functionality to change the status of a Parent Entered Request in Attendance. Once a request is approved/denied, the request status can no longer be changed. It would be helpful to have access to change this status as needed.
This button is found in a couple of different screens. Here's one area where it exists. Office > Attendance > Entry by Date. The button is located on the right side of the screen.

Day Summary Report
Allow for the selection of activities in the day summary report. It would be great to schedule this report for our sports teams without having to create a processing list.

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.

Unrecorded Class Attendance Sort by Teacher Option
Unrecorded Class Attendance can only be sorted by date. At the end of the year, in order to print a report by teacher (for principals), you must take it out to Excel and fill in every line with the date and day for every day in the school year. Otherwise, there is no option to sort by teacher. Either adding the option o sort by teacher or adding the date to every entry would resolve.

Pop-up Window for required Doctor's Note while entering Attendance
If a student is flagged "Required" Doctor's Note" it would be nice if there was a pop-up or some form of indicator that would not allow an excused attendance to be entered without that Required Doctor's Note either in an attachment form or even as fields that have to be entered. Such fields could be the date listed on the Doctor's Note along with the Doctor's name maybe even a free-form comment field in case anything needed to be entered in regards to said note.
Also to go along with this feature it would be nice if a report could…

Total Days Absent
Would like to see the total number of days absent as an option in a custom attendance letter. Right now when I pull in "Attendance Count" it is actually just showing the number of periods missed rather than total days missed.

Monthly Attendance Email to parents
We would like to send an email to families at the beginning of each month showing them their student's absences so far for the quarter/semester/year. It will be helpful for families to get this information automatically to remind them how important attendance is AND a paper trail of their student's attendance. Hard to be surprised that your kid has 10 absences if you get an email every month showing their status!

Family Access Absence Request Approval Email and Denial Email
When an absence request has been approved or denied it would be helpful if the response entered was emailed to the family, so they are aware that the request was approved or denied and if denied we could tell them why and how to get it approved. Many parents will not be going back into Family Access to see if their request was denied.

Can the attendance report in Skyward Family Access be changed to a different report. We would prefer the report found in Student Management
Can the attendance report in Skyward Family Access be changed to a different report. We would prefer the report found in Student Management (when clicking the blue i -- demographic information about current student then clicking attendance) to show in Family Access.

Expand Comments field in Attendance tab to allow for more characters
One of our schools suggested this field be expanded to allow for 100 characters. Some attendance they can't make because of the limit in characters.11 votes -
Would like to see "Doctor's note required for each absence" on the entry by date screen
Add "Doctor's note required for each absence" to the entry by date screen. That way we can see if a doctors note is required or not.

A "Received Note" button like the "Parent Notified" button in the Attendance Edit Screen.
This would allow us to mark received excuse notes. Along with this be able to pull a report for those who have actually submitted an excuse note.
