  3. Wellness Screener changes

    • Ability to turn on/off based on entity and by grade level
    o We might be bringing students back into the buildings based on grade level. Doesn’t make sense for all parents district wide to see the screener if they are still 100% remote.
    o We have an Area Career Center as part of our setup and they may not be moving to the Skyward Wellness Screener.
    • Ability to add to questions or change questions
    • Ability for reports to have the option to print for students not in their default entity
    o This is due to the Area…

  4. Automated Emails for Failed Wellness Responses

    It would be helpful to be able to setup automated emails that notify a particular staff member(s) when a failed Wellness Screening response is submitted, rather than always needing to login to Skyward and check the report.

  7. Need entity settings for Student Wellness screener

    We need entity controls for parent/student ability to submit. We would not want elementary kids submitting their own screener but we may allow students to do it at secondary.

  8. Need to able to view and update Student Wellness screening in EA+

    We need an EA+ (mobile and web) view of screener results that updates/refreshes live - a list of kids in 1st period and their screener results. We need to be able to stop students immediately as they walk in the classroom door if the screener result is fail or blank. This preventative measure can't be done at the building level - it will be done at the classroom level by their first teacher of the day. We are picturing something similar to the Post Daily Attendance screen but with a date, list of kids, and results.

  9. Other Name Field Added to the Medical Areas

    All medical input fields should contain the Other Name field. Example, Student > Student Profile you can customize the line to add "Other Name" field. On the Office > Health records > Student Profile and "Other Name" field is not available on the customize line. Add to medical fields: Health Office Visit, Entry by Date, Office Visit add, etc. any input screen a nurse would work in so they can see the students' other name when working in the file. Other Name field should be close to or under the field of student name.

  10. Security to allow user to Administer Medications without being able to Add additional medications

    Our school nurses enter the medication in the Medication tab, but trained clerical and paras may administer the medication. Currently I cannot set security to allow a user to administer medication without allowing them access to add additional medication. We would like the ability to set security so only nurses can add, while trained users can administer.

  11. Increase the Font size on the Vaccination Report for faxes

    The font on the Vaccination Report needs to be larger so it is legible when faxed to other schools. Now it cannot be read in a fax because the font is too small. If necessary to accommodate a larger font, it can be made landscape instead of portrait.

  12. EMP - EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Treatment Form

    Hello:
    Our District nurses have been reviewing IHPs in our database and they would like the ability to "streamline" medical steps necessary for treatment based on a student's health condition. Essentially they would like to have an Emergency Action Plan (EMP) Tab added, ideally, under the Emergency Tab in Skyward. This EMP would give specific straight forward steps for treating a student's medical condition. This would be a condensed straight forward approach for all staff member for treatment of a medical condition without having to read a lengthy technical IHP (Individual Health Plan). Possible idea of a custom form that…

  14. Health Restrictions Tab

    Under Office- Health Records- Student Profile

    A tab to the left for RESTRICTIONS that will end up on the All Health List.

    Would need to be able to enter a date, a restriction (No PE, walking only, etc) and also a Release to all activities....it would be great if the Restriction and Release to activities would pop up on the All Health list for a quick look as to if a student is or is not released or restricted.

    Also a tab to download their restriction/release form. We currently keep a paper file on hand. We tried just downloading the…

  17. Ability to import Sports Physical field

    We were able to import in a list of students who had physicals but we had to go into each record manually and click the Sports Physical box. This field was not available for import through Skybuild. Please add this field so that it can be imported or at the very least a utility that can mass update via a processing list.

  18. Health Conditions to Flow to Critical Alert

    We would like the option to have Health Condition flow to the Critical Alert area in Student Profile however this option needs to be at the nurse's discretion so a button to select Show in Critical Alert would be the preference.

    Deferred  ·  Jacob Baumann responded

    Thank you all for the comments and ideas! I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Upon further technical review, it has been decided we will not be moving forward with this request at this time due to the differences in records and complexity of screen and Health Condition specific security.

    Please continue to contribute your ideas — they push us to innovate, problem solve, and really understand your needs.

    Thank you!

  19. Update Student Records for all Letters sent

    The goal of this enhancement is to have all letters that are sent to parents become part of the student record. The negative impact is that now we have no record of the letter being sent and nothing to refer back to if a parent would question what they received.
    If all of the reports that can be done as letters would have the same check box that the vaccine report done in letters has it would provide a well documented health record for all students. The check box for vaccines is Update the records of the students that letters…
