Need ability to default for new families check boxes for Receive Report Cards, Print Hard Copy Report Cards and Receive Forms.
Need ability to default for new families check boxes for Receive Report Cards, Print Hard Copy Report Cards and Receive Forms.
We can do so for custodial and pickup, but not for the report card stuff.
We spend lots of time double checking why someone didn't get a mailing or a report card due to a box being left unchecked by accident.
I know there are mass assign options, but we want the Receive Hard Copy of report cards to be blank to begin with and parents can change within online registration if they really want a copy mailed to…

Delete a Parent from Family and Emergency Tabs at the Same Time
Currently, when deleting a parent from a Family when a parent passes away, Skyward does not delete that parent from the Emergency Contact tab. It's very troubling to me when I forget to remove a parent from the emergency tab who has passed away even though I did remove them from the Family tab.

Parent Contact Log
Our counselors and administrators would like to have a parent contact log that shows the date, who contacted, contact type code and a reason note. This would just be a simple way to see when a parent was contacted and the reason. Currently, we are going to create this in a custom form but it would be better if it was part of the actual Skyward system.

Family/Emergency Contacts
When enter new students past students should not show up for Family and or emergency contact possibilities. Once they graduate and we can't use them for these fields they should not show up. If you can't do that then they need to be grayed out and or also have an ALERT come up saying your about to use a past student for this field do you want to continue. This is causing so many problems when registering students.

Blended Families
Would like an option to have 50/50 families in Skyward instead of Family 1 and Family 2. When doing a mailing, sometimes you only want actual custodial families to get the info, so a Family 2 may not be appropriate. And then there are other times when you want a custodial parent to get the info, but if you are only mailing to family 1, that family won't get it. The family setup is not real conducive to the reality of family situations that we deal with.

Student Information Report
We generate a report in Students/Reports/Student Information to send home to Family 1 at the beginning of the school year in order to update their family info. So much easier for families to make minor changes rather than receive a blank form and enter data from scratch each year. It would be beneficial if we were able to print each family on it's own page rather than all families printing on same page. We have a child who lives with mom in Family 1, but dad wants his data in Skyward as Family 2 but doesn't want mom to know…

Custody Alerts
When students have a custody alert that is critical to the safety of a student, there should be a much more appropriate graphic than a tiny little "almost hidden" bubble on the very cluttered user interface. Other software packages have much more "alerting" graphics to make the matter obvious to busy secretaries fielding many tasks simultaneously while verifying custodial and emergency contact people who come to pick up students at the end of the day. Please pay greater attention to making your user interface more user friendly.
134 votesAs mentioned by others in the comments, you can leverage parental consent notes and/or critical alerts to help draw additional attention to these students. We did bring this feedback over to the Qmlativ product and much like on SMS you can require acknowledgement on Critical Alerts; however, on Qmlativ we do this per student based on their explicit situation, in addition to allowing a custom note to be added to the alert that can be viewed by anyone who has access to that student indicator for additional awareness.

Different rights for different parents
In some cases we have a parent who has educational rights but has a protective order from knowing where mom/child live. By law we have to give parent rights to kids grades but not where he/she lives guardians names registration info etc. Skyward really needs to add a code of some sort that ONLY gives that member of the family rights to the GRADES tab not attendance not student info nothing else!!!!
