Discipline Officer: Only Show Active Staff as an option when entering incidents
Please add the option to only show ACTIVE staff when you choose a Discipline Officer in the Discipline entry screen.
Currently it shows both Active and Inactive.
The only option Skyward gives us it to select the configuration option "Only allow Staff marked as Discipline Officer to be assigned to an Offense/Action" but that means you have to manually check this box individually for each staff under the Designations....Designations: Disc Officer: Yes Teacher: Yes Substitute: No Counselor: No5 votes -
Attendance Percentage in Family Access
Our district leadership would love the ability to view attendance percentage in Family Access. This would be extremely helpful to staff and families when trying to track attendance, truancy, etc.

Transporation/Busing module in registration process
During registration we have a Google Form for parents to request student pick-up/drop-off. The parents enter their addresses in the form but those addresses get misspelled or different abbreviations for ST, Str, Street. It would be nice to have a transporation module in the online registration portal where parents can select their address from the Address Master and then the correct bus would be displayed (with bus driver info)...

Allow for Building a Custom Schedule
We have the option to build Custom forms, Custom report cards, and Custom transcripts. It would be great if we had the same option for schedules. Right now we just have the hard coded schedule report, it would be great if we had the ability to change the layout/content/etc of the schedule just like we can in report cards and transcripts.

More options for printing career plans
There are currently very few options for printing career plans. The student career plan report prints the description and not the curriculum key. We have made several changes for how we display our sped courses and have needed to update career plans for multiple students, however I only know who they are based on the curriculum - it's not one grade level/campus/endorsement/etc. Some extremely helpful options include:
- The ability to run a report either by range or individual to look for students with a specific range of curriculums or specific individual curriculums on their career plan anywhere within a specified…

Separate Waiver Code for LEP and ESL
When a student is EB because of a waiver, they can be waivered for LEP or ESL. Right now there is one radio button for both LEP and ESL waivers. This does not allow us to create an indicator based on if the student is waivered for LEP or for ESL. It would be helpful if these were separated so we can create a student indicator for a student with a waiver for LEP separately from a student with a waiver for ESL.

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.

Student Browse - Advisor Field cut off
WS\ST\ST Student Browse - School Information Fields
Advisor field is cut off
In the Student Browse > General Profile View, the Advisor name is cut off.Please expand the field to include the entire content
Please also expand all the fields in Student Brown\Profile\School Information (the email address field was expanded in 2020) but the rest need to be as well
This is the name students and parents see in Family Access so if it's cut off it is confusing

family information
In the family information section where there are the boxes for CBC, Cust, and Pick, can you add a box for placement as well. We are running into the issue with some staff misinterpreting that custody means the right to make educational decisions vs when it's only for placement purposes (where the child is living). This would be VERY beneficial for the schools and staff that work with said students and sped paperwork.

Regarding when a studen
When a student switches sections, if the school is on an A/B schedule/rotation: Please change the parameters of the assignments so that the system does not use the date as one of the criteria for an assignment to match from one section to another. Thank you.

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.

Attendance Type Codes
This year, State of Indiana DOE implemented 6 new attendance type codes to collect additional data regarding the reason for excused absences. The new codes have two characters, but when adding new codes in Skyward, that field is limited to one character. I know we can use whatever code we want and crosswalk to the state codes, but it would be much easier for staff to interpret attendance reports if we could use the same two character codes as IDOE vs arbitrarily chosen single character codes.

AI Chatbot for Skyward Instructions (not student data related)
Complex systems like SMS benefit from dedicated AI Chatbots. Searching directions using keywords results in dozens of sets of long and often redundant directions and the keywords used in the search do not always pull the correct set of directions. AI chatbots can help find answers and provide links to further information very efficiently. It can customize responses as it learns the user's role in the district and how SMS is set up for them (e.g. a teacher using secondary or standards based grading). It could give suggestions of features the user didn't know to ask about and give feedback…

Flexibility in listing absences in attendance letters
When creating custom attendance letters, tables listing student absences must currently match the absence codes used in the threshold to generate those letters. I request the flexibility to trigger letters based on specific absence types (e.g., unexcused only) while displaying all absence types (both excused and unexcused) in the letter itself.
