  1. Walk-In Scheduler during year to drop and add new schedule

    It would be helpful in team scheduling especially to be able to use the walk-in scheduler to drop a whole schedule and add it back into a new team without deleting the original class.

  2. Family Information for all guardians to be listed in the Educator Access Plus tab for teachers

    Currently in Educator Access Plus for Teachers, it only provides the phone number for the first guardian listed in the family as well as the emergency contacts on their screen. Teachers have to click on the name of the additional guardian in order to view their phone numbers. It would be convenient if all guardians and emergency contact phone numbers are all provided to be located at a glance.

  3. Mass Change Transaction Records - Add Previous School Year Option

    WS\OF\CS\SS\PS\UT\TR - Adding the ability to select the previous school year for this utility would be very helpful in instances when dates need to be changed after end of year processing has taken place.

  4. add Migrant questions to NSOE

    add Migratory Student Information collection to NSOE. DPI has a form for these families to fill out (and skyward has an import process to pull these families into Skyward from DPI). However, there is not a process to collect the information in NSOE. We are adding our own questions to NSOE based on the links below but to ensure enrollments are similar at other districts in Wisconsin could this be added by Skyward to NSOE?

    Requirement C.1. Identification of Migratory Children
    LEAs must have procedures in place to identify migratory students.

    Section 1111(b)(2)(B)(xi)(VI)

    This is required for all LEAs whether…

  5. Test Accommodations

    Users would LOVE to have the ability to add multiple accommodations to the test. Every accommodations needs to be added, then saved then "Add" again. Once they are on the Local Accommodation Maintenance page it would be great for the user to enter all ALL accommodations here and then just save once all are entered.

  8. Customize Category Colors in gradebook

    Teachers using our secondary gradebook would like to be able to customize their category colors within their own gradebook. Currently, I can change the colors, but it would change them for the whole building and not everyone wants that. It would be useful if they could just do their own within their own gradebook.

  10. Switch School Year button for the "Room Codes".

    Since the Homeroom Codes have the ability to be updated by using the Switch School Year button, it would be very helpful to also include the Switch School Year for the room codes. The descriptor for the room codes can and do change from current to future.

  11. Automated Email for Unpaid Fees

    Create an automatic, recurring email that get sent to families for any unpaid fees. We would want it to be set up so they would get an email every few weeks if they have any fees still due. I know we can have an automatic email set up for when fees get added, but I don't see one that we can set up as a reminder if they are still unpaid.

  12. Future Scheduling requests following student

    When we have students who transfer from one campus to another within our district, we would like to have the student requests follow them so the receiving campus can see what the student previously requested. If the courses are not the same number, that is OK, instead of giving the student another request form and starting from scratch for the receiving campus. This information would be very valuable and a time saver for the counselors and registrars.

    We would like to see additional buckets added to the Grade Proof sheets report. For example, we need to be able to include EOC buckets on this report when we use it, on classes that the EOC is heavily or entirely weighted on.

    Would like to see the total number of days absent as an option in a custom attendance letter. Right now when I pull in "Attendance Count" it is actually just showing the number of periods missed rather than total days missed.

  16. I would like the ability to hide the question of Student Language in the Student Information area of NSOE

    In Texas we have to have the family complete the Home Language Survey in their native language and having them answer language questions in more than one place causes confusion and answers that don't match.

    We would like to be able to hide the Student Information field on NSOE of Student Language so that our staff can enter what is answered on the Home Language Survey and not have to look for mismatches between the HLS and parent answers.

  17. As of date for any special program

    We often get asked, who was ____ last year. (Fill in the blank with any special program or Food Service.)
    A number of areas in Data Mining have an As Of date field. It would be amazing if all would have a "___ As Of Date"
    Examples:
    ADM As Of Date- Type (Y/N already is there, but we need to know the type)
    Alt Ed As Of Date -Program Name
    Food Service As Of Date- Lunch Code
    Foster Care As Of Date
    Gifted and Talented As Of Date- Area
    Homeless As Of Date - Living Arrangement

  18. Family Access Absence Request Approval Email and Denial Email

    When an absence request has been approved or denied it would be helpful if the response entered was emailed to the family, so they are aware that the request was approved or denied and if denied we could tell them why and how to get it approved. Many parents will not be going back into Family Access to see if their request was denied.

  19. Library Card field added to the 'Skyward Field to Use' in Custom Forms.

    Our district utilizes the Library Card field to track the issued chromebook for the student. We are wanting to create a custom form to handout to students and would like the Library Card field to be available as a 'Skyward Field to Use'. This way the number will automatically populate onto the form.

    In Section Master, when looking within a section and clicking view roster, the student key, alphakey, is not an option to add. Could it be? We are looking at the filters and it isn't there to choose.
