  1. Skybuild/CTE Family Import

    Because CTE is growing by leaps and bounds, ISD's and RESD's have a need to import and overwrite much more student demographics information. In particular Family and Emergency Contact information.

    Currently, Family information imports that we use between district databases and our CTE database can only be imported once. After that, the settings to overwrite family information is not available in Skybuild Imports. This prevents us from providing critical Student and Family information updates between systems.

    For that matter limiting the districts ability to overwrite data using an import is a bit of an over reach.

    It is critical that…

  3. Add ACC INSTR in Special Programs to the Mass Add/End Utilities

    Please add the ACC INSTR (for accelerated instruction) option in Special Programs to the Mass Add and End Utilities for Special Programs. I've looked and ACC INSTR is not an option in either location in the Mass Add or End utilities. Thank you.

  4. ADA/FTE report title and column headers

    We would like to have the ability to have the template title appear on each page of the ADA/FTE Report instead of just on the initial parameters page. Furthermore, we would like the Reporting Period: # parameter descriptor to appear under the Semester 1 or Semester 2 column header so that it is clear what reporting periods are included. Having just Semester 1 or 2 is very misleading for staff who only look at the district or campus pages. And example of the report is attached.

  5. STAFF INFORMATION REPORT

  6. Adding transaction dates to the course by course report

    Adding teacher transaction dates to the course by course report. This would be very beneficial so that you don't have to expand each section to view the dates.

  7. Special Education Accommodations in Gradebook.

    Could a clickable accommodations menu be created in grade book assignments? This would be helpful documentation for special education and 504 students. The list of accommodations might include oral administration, calculator, small group, extra time, copy of notes, etc.

  8. Day Summary Report

  10. The login is already used

    Skyward is Assigning Other IDs already used by other students. Please fix this issue. This is probably due to students being merged and the ID becomes available, but then Skyward assigned the ID to a different student and we cant assign the ID and password to this new student. See error.

  11. Family custom forms

    Skyward gives us the access to create a Parent custom Form so Families can fill out just one form per family, but we are unable to print the form. It would be nice to be able to print the Parent Custom Form we create too.

  12. scheduling constraints - specific section

    I know that we have the option for scheduling constraints for a student and a specific class/teacher. It would be amazing if that could be expanded to specific sections or other students. We are having more personal conflict issues that we need to separate students in classes. Much of the information is private/legal and can't be shared so often, inadvertently, one of us in the department changes a schedule and the students end up in the same class. This has been causing some serious issues. Please consider this idea in both SMS and Q.
    Thank you,

  13. Printing Reports includes Navigation Menu Paths

    It would be great if when reports print, the Navigation Menu Paths were printed at the top. That way, someone else would be able to find their way to run themselves.

  14. Option to include future transactions in graduation requirement progress

    Our district uses future transactions to drop or add a course at term or semester break because the ability to edit the terms on courses creates many other issues with our third party exports, state reporting for membership, attendance, etc. However, when future transactions are used, a course that will be added or dropped is not included in a student's graduation requirements. This makes it difficult to determine which students are actually deficient in credit for graduation. It would be great to have the option to include course credit in the graduation requirements when the course will be added or…

  17. Parent approval for student requested courses via Family Access

    When a student enters their course requests, to have it go to the parent in family access for approval, before it goes to the school. Instead of having to print the course request sheet and send home for signature, allow the parents to sign in and approve the course requests via Family Access.

  18. 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.

  19. Health Conditions Codes

    When new health condition codes are added into the system, they do not automatically create a health flag/student indicator for the student.
    You have to go into advanced features and adjust the health student indicators at each entity to get the new conditions to flag.

    It would be great if any new health condition code that gets added, would automatically create a health student indicator.

  20. Please add additional staff types in the Designations field in the Staff Information area. The Teacher checkbox controls a ton of functions

    Please add additional staff types in the Designations field in the Staff Information area. The Teacher checkbox controls a ton of functions and access in Student Management, so I would ultimately like to make this a required field using Skycoder. However, I cannot make this a required field unless we have at least an 'Other' option for staff members.

    The current checkboxes are Discipline Officer, Teacher, Substitute, Counselor, and Career Center Counselor or Administrator.

    Here are some suggestions for additions to this field: Secretary (or Admin Assistant), ParaPro, Coordinator, Principal / Dean, Support Staff, and Other.

    The Career Center Counselor…
