  2. Military Connected Registration Date/Start and End Date

    Currently when a parent completes registration (New & Returning), Military Connected data updates including the start and end date per the date registration was completed. We open returning student registration in May during the current school year which causes issues for the current school year's data being that it end dates and/or starts the program within the wrong school year. It would be great if there was a date range for the next school year within configuration. I could enter the school start date and the correct end date for the previous school year.

  3. Check-In

    Please change the ranges available in all Student Check-In areas (Attendance, Clinic, Discipline & Guidance). It is currently wide open. Meaning, you can choose enter any student who has ever been enrolled in the district. I was able to check-in a student who graduated in 2008 and never attended that particular campus.

  4. Student identified as a TWIN flag

    It would be nice to have a new field in SMS 2.0 or even better in Qmlativ that would be used to mark the student as a TWIN. I am seeing more and more names that are very similar, if not the same and has the middle name as the different name. Sometimes I cannot tell if two students named Zavion/Zavior, Everkeigh/Everleigh, Ruth Shamar/Ruth Thamar, Da'Mario/Da;Marion, or Aalanah/Aalayah are the same student with a mispelled name or actually twins.

  5. Add the graduated Y/N and Grad Date from profile as an object on student transcripts.

    Currently when we print a transcript for a senior that is credit deficient or a dropout, the graduation date is populated from the projected grad date object. This is then very misleading on these transcripts as the student has not graduated. It seems to make more sense to pull the grad date from the profile tab, that way students that are credit deficient or drop outs, would not populate a graduation date. Thank you for considering.

  8. Ability to automate an import in Test Score Import Wizard

    Since STAR scores are imported multiple times a year, it would be helpful and more efficient if Skyward had the ability for users to automate the import process in the Test Score Import Wizard.

  10. email

    Please make student's current teacher and all admininstration, actually all staff available to see a screen by using an email staff button feature as used in certain fields. This would be great especially for attendance and discipline.

  12. Include TSDS number in Student Lookup

    Include TSDS number in Student Lookup. The enrollment emails we receive from TSDS do not include the student's name. The only identifying information in the email is the TSDS number. It would be nice to look them up by TSDS number like we can the PEIMS ID.

  13. Edit UID on TN/NCLB

    Can the option to edit the TN Unique ID field on the TN/NCLB screen be allowed? This field is currently not editable. At times students have a legacy State ID not matching the Unique ID as they should. If we find the correct match per the Ed-Fi > Request Individual IDs, we cannot select it since the student already been assigned the wrong one. Being able to update the UID to match correctly would be very helpful.

  15. Auto Delete Birth Certificate Attachments

    As a part of WI Statewide General Records Retention, there are certain documents/attachments that we are not supposed to keep on file (like a birth certificate.)
    We would still want parents to upload their attachments to their NSOE, but would like the ability to decide if a certain attachment type like "Lease" could get saved to portfolio, while an attachment type of "Birth Certificate" would NOT get saved to portfolio.

  16. Space to add more than 5 locker combs

    Space to add more locker combs. We have locks for lockers that have 7-8 combs. Currently Skyward only allows 5 combs to be entered so we have to skip the combs that we can not enter into the system.

  20. Student Browse - Grade View

    In the Student Browse, using the Views: of "Grades", it only shows columns for Semesters. Our middle schools grade on Quarters and a Final. Options for selecting the appropriate Term would be great. Thanks!
