  1. Add a grade range option when setting up a Family Access Bill Code

    Our high schools are grades 10-12. After pre-transfers are turned on, 9th graders can add and pay for high school fees that are in the Family Access Bill Code Setup. This happens mostly with yearbooks, and we've added the high school name to the description, but many 9th grade guardians continue to add and pay for a high school yearbook, mistakenly thinking they are purchasing a middle school yearbook. It would be helpful to add a grade range on the setup so that we can exclude it from showing as a fee for 9th graders.

  2. Tie notes to the STUDENT and not the person who created it

    When creating a note on a student of any kind, can the note be tied to the STUDENT and not the person that created it? We have staff that created notes and when they left, for some reason, their notes did not transfer. It would be nice if the note were attached to the student so that if the staff that created the not leaves the notes stay in place.

  3. Send course credits to state, but not counted in Skyward (Bettering GPA use case)

    It would be nice to have a way to send course credits to the state, but not have them counted twice in skyward. The use case is for students trying to better their GPA for a course. They take the course again and this needs reported to the state, but you do not want the credits doubled up in Skyward. So when you enter a "Variable Credit" on a historical course for 0.0 credits, you get errors from the IDOE saying you are required to send them credits. Maybe a flag or something could tell skyward not to internally count…

  4. 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…

  7. We'd like a way for the bus number to populate in Student Access.

    In student access, not parent access, if the student could see the assigned bus number, it would save some headaches at school dismissal.

  8. Change the default on the Mass Post Grade Change Request to EXCLUDE dropped students

    When using the Allow Teachers to Make Grade Change Request to Closed Grading Periods when the request are being processed under EA+>Gradebook>Secondary>Grade Posting Administration>Teacher Requests for changes to Previously Posted Grades>Mass Post Grade Changes>the default is to Post Grades for Dropped Students. 99% of the time you would not want to do this and if they don't select the option at the top to "Exclude Dropped Students from Mass Posting grades get posted that should not and this can easily be missed causing students to get credits for classes/grades that they should not get. The default for this utility should…

  12. "All Students" preview screen

    When making changes for families and selecting "All Students," having an option to have a pop-up show the changes that will take place, along with a confirmation asking if you'd like to proceed. This could help cause fewer issues with changes being made and affecting other families/blended families.

  14. Remove 0.00 when importing a blank percentile score into Test Scores

    When importing test scores that have a blank percentile value, 0.00 becomes the value in the field instead of just remaining blank. This doesn't look very clear, as all other fields are blank except the percentile field. Would love to see a blank remain a blank in Skyward. See example.

  15. Parent to print discipline from Family Access

    Could there be a print button in Family Access for parents to print the student discipline offenses? Either one at a time or all at once (history) option.

  16. Request from teacher: Change the symbol in the gradebook for 'no count' assignments so that it is different from 'missing' assignments. They

    change the symbol in the gradebook for 'no count' assignments so that it is different from 'missing' assignments. They currently both have a star. It would assist with us needing to go back in to update missing assignments. Seeing a different symbol for 'no count' we would know that we did not have any scores for that assignment that needed to be updated. Thank you for the consideration.

  17. Allow Student Indicator for Threat Assessment on Offense or BTA in Special Programs

    It would be VERY great to have a Student Indicator available that is based on either the Discipline Offense record SSS Threat Assessment checkbox, or the Special Programs BTA record.
    Yes, there is a work around if you use the District Categories - BUT that requires more steps on already overworked staff and adds MORE chance of human error in data entry that may cascade into other areas.
    Please see attached document with screenshots.

    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.
