Auto-Email for Online Registration Completed
We'd like to have an auto-email option that would automatically notify all family contacts for a student when the online registration process has been completed. This would notify the parents that the task is completed so they wouldn't need to go into Family Access to view the forms to see if it's complete. This also would notify Family 2 contacts (which in some instances are more diligent about making sure the tasks are getting done) that the expected task has been completed.

Family 1 Family 2 Prompt to delete EmergContact
In a divorce situation where there are two family records we would like a prompt to the 2nd family/parent when Family 1 deletes them as an emergency contact. The prompt to Family 2 would be to approve or deny the delete request. We're aware we can have this setting enabled for the campus registrar to review/approve/deny the request but don't want that burden on them. This is a hot topic for our district that has come up several times and has made its way to our leadership as well as parent calls directly to Skyward's leadership.

Lunch Calendar characters
Currently we want to move to using the Lunch menu in Skyward but cannot because the calendar view does not support enough characters for us display the entire lunch so it can be viewed with clicking on it and printed
Add more characters to the lunch calendar in the web access for Parents to view the menu. Make the menu printable so parents can view the lunches for the entire month.54 votes -
School Path to show in Family Access
We have rezoned twice now and it is a major issue when parents do not know what campus their child needs to go to. Is it possible to add the school path/NY school path to show in the student info in family access? If parents could see their school path/NY school path it would help the confusion and all the phone calls and letters to parents.

Add Skylert to the Mobile App
The goal of this RFE is to allow parents to update their Skylert information (especially to enter "Text Message" numbers)via the Skyward Mobile App. They currently have to do so via the web version of Family Access.
Like many Skyward school districts we use School Messenger for our mass communication system (phone/email/SMS/CustomMobileApp/SocialMedia) and we deploy the Skylert Interface in Skyward so that parents can use their Family Access account to enter/update additional contact information especially Text Message numbers - By entering the Text Message numbers in Family Access/Skylert parents are opting in for text messages to be sent to them…

Standards Grading: Listing Events
Currently events are displayed by date. When you have multiple events and multiple skills the screen is hard to read.
We would like to see events grouped together with their skill and date. If nothing else an option to view it his way would be another option.22 votes -
Mobile App Configuration
Requesting that the mobile app follow the entity configuration for Family Access.
We configured the Entity Configuration for Family Access not to show Homeroom and advisers as we did not want parents to be able to see these until a specific date. However the parents were able to go onto the Mobile app and see them in Student Information by clicking on the "I" button. Advisor and Homeroom are both listed. This defeated our purpose of wanting the parents to do the current student registration and then allowing them to see the schedules etc.
The expected outcome is for Skyward…72 votes -
SAML Relying Party Configuration
I am requesting that Skyward configure SAML for Districts that have an IDP. Minnetonka has it's own IDP - we use Identity Automation. I'd like to be able to use our SSO service to log all users into Skyward by way of a SAML integration with Skyward.
I am willing to help do the testing to get this up and running. I know there are other users that use Identity Automation for an IDP and could also benefit from this type of configuration.52 votes -
student access/student infor shows both families
A student can see information on both family 1 and family two on student access/student info. this is a problem! If a parent uses the student's login they will be able to see both family 1 and family 2's address phone and email. this is a major problem due to data privacy. we have turned ours off. we would like to move the family information to another tab so we can leave access to the student information and what is located there and turn off access to family information.

No Show Count or Excluded Assignments
It would be beneficial for our district to enable a feature that would disable visibility in Family Access for specific students for specific assignments. Or the capability to select students that a specific assignment applies to within a classroom. There are some students that may need excluded from specific assignments and we would like those to not show in Family or Student Access.

Add Attachment Feature
Is it possible to add a feature that will allow for parents to submit attachments such as JPG PNG PDF when requesting attendance requests (excuses)?
This feature will give parents the ability to upload any additional excuse documentation for the student (medical excuse personal excuse etc.). It will also provide the district with documentation provided by the parent that can be used in audit situations.26 votes -
Online Conferences
It would be very helpful to have the ability for the parent/guardian to request an interpreter in online conference scheduling. Something we can pull in either data mining or (preferably) an indicator in conference reports. Without this we are using a lot of man hours compiling this information.
A box for parent/guardian to check stating they require an interpreter for parent/teacher conferences. When selected this would show up as an indicator on conference reports.57 votesThank you for the suggestion! We will be reviewing this request in more depth, including the input from the development team.

Custom Tabs in Family & Student Access
We would like the ability to create custom tabs in Family & Student access. We have other content pages that would be awesome if we could integrate them into FA to make it a one stop shop.
Would like to have the option to name the tab. For the content would like to have the option to insert formatted text and HTML including iFrames with the student ID appended to the end of the URL. Would also like it to be LTI compliant.29 votes -
Change the 'Add a Fee' text
We would like to change the 'Add a Fee' tab to something like 'Optional Fees' or 'Manage Optional Fees' for parents to know where they have to go to add optional fee.
'Add a Fee' does not identify clearly enough that parents need to click to add/remove fees. Specially does not say anything 'Delete' the fees. This is very confusing so we are having a hard time to guide parents to pay fees. This small change will make huge difference to all districts with fees management modules because parents will fine the tab to add/delete easily to manage any type…

Custom Form View on Family Access Read Only
It would be very helpful if we could make Custom Forms view-able to parents on Family Access. We have a Behavioral Standards custom form that is completed by several teachers. We would like parents to be able to view the form on Family Access instead of printing them all out and sending them home. Report Cards are available to our parents in the Portfolio tab and we would love to see the option to add Custom Forms there as well.

Limit the screen to only so many records
Right now in Office Visits it is displaying all years including historical visits on one page. For those students who see the nurse 3 times a day it takes forever to load the page.
By limiting the number of viewable records on one screen and then allowing the user to page to the next 'x' number of records it would allow the pages to load quicker.21 votes -
Family Access User Portal Available from District
Please make the Family Access User Portal available to select when in the District Entity. So many times as a district user I have to view Family Access users. I have to switch to any entity (even if it is not the one the parent is associated with) and then I can search for the Family Access User. It would make like so much easier if it was viewable through the district. Saving as a favorite does not work as soon as you click on the district entity that favorite is removed from the list.

Family Access display option
In Family Access it would very beneficial for our parents/guardians have a setting that allows them to display just active and/or non graduated students. We have had requests from parents/guardians to remove foreign exchange students from their access to remove graduated students foster children etc. We know that there is a setting to only display active students however that is a district-wide setting. A setting within Family Access so that they can choose themselves would be great.

Obligations Visible in Family Access
Need parents to be able to see obligations in FA so that it can't be said that they didn't know or weren't informed.
Without parent being able to see them campus must send out constant reminders. Being able to tell parents that their obligations are always accessible would assist campuses in communicating to parents.37 votes -
Teacher Conference Scheduler - Parent Improvements
Parents are very frustrated with scheduling conferences when they have multiple teachers for one student (for example High School Parents). There is not a way to see all slots available so they are jumping back and forth between teachers; scheduling unscheduling and rescheduling to fit the slots close to each other
