  2. On the Performance Acknowledgement tab, the dual credit option would best be named Dual Credit/Enrollment or college hours.

    On the Performance Acknowledgement tab, the dual credit option would best be named Dual Credit/Enrollment or college hours. This allows for districts in Texas to include OnRamps in this performance acknowledgement without confusing it with Dual Credit.

  3. Meet Detail - Alternate Teachers Order

    To have the ability to add the Alternate Teacher in a specific order in the Meet Details. This will greatly improve the ability for the District to provide the correct teachers access to the many educational Applications through our automated rostering.

  4. "STUDENT TYPE" on the ENTRY/WITHDRAWAL tab needs to stay what it's set when the students are rolled up every year

    The student type on the entry /withdrawal tab changes every time the student gets rolled up year after year. Why can't it just stay 504, AR, etc? Every year after the rollup we have to go and change the student type because it defaults to REG. Trust me, there are not a lot of REG students. Mostly AR, 504.
    Thank you for your consideration in the matter.

  5. Print course on transcript, but NOT on report card

    We would like the option to print courses on student transcripts, but NOT on report cards. Right now, that is an all or nothing option. Can you please separate these options so that we can choose to print on one or the other?

    This would be extremely helpful for our Dual Enrollment courses that do not need to be printed on student report cards (they were not taken at our school), but still need to be printed on transcripts.

  6. For the basic report card, it would be nice to have the option to choose comments only for that quarter, not every quarter.

  7. At Risk Status needed in Skybuild Export

    In Skybuild, there is a field called At-Risk Status which has been verified by Skyward that it doesn't work or attach to any data. Everyone is listed as N (no). This needs to report the student's current At-Risk Status.

  8. Mark Online Registration as Verified when Completing New Student Enrollment Mid-Year

    It would be nice to be able to turn on a feature to auto mark as verified when families complete New Student Enrollment mid-year. I have to go in and manually mark them all as verified. Thank you.

  11. LEP and 504 as Y/N fields in Profile like Sped

    General demographic reports are that people want are always the same. They want Gender, Race, Sped, English Learner, 504, etc. When trying to set up data mining reports there is an As Of field for English Learner and 504 to pull a yes no that is as of the day you run it. It would be nice to either have that field be variable so you can set this report up to be a scheduled task and it would always pull current information of whether the student is 504 or English Learner. OR add field on the profile tab that…

  12. Add Advisor Designation to Staff Info Screen

    We would like to request an "Advisor" staff designation be added to the staff information screen so staff members can be assigned the advisor role between entities without having to add the entity permission to the staff member. The counselor field is not always available on certain reports that campuses and district administrators use.

  15. Report with Discipline Code detail

    Offense Code configuration allows for checkboxes (drug related, weapon related, etc) and state Incident Types in Skyward. Right now the only way to view this information is to expand/edit each code individually (per Skyward help ticket); I would like a report that shows these settings for all codes.

  19. Initial Placement Consent Page

    Is it possible to insert a Page Break above the PARENT CONSENT/PERMISSION FOR INITIAL PLACEMENT on the P-1. I have to go into each form for every initial evaluation and input a page break so the signature page is a separate page.

  20. Automated Email

    In the automated emails, have an NSOE Application that will look at the Stage Code and based on that code send an email to parents. Like applications that are missing required documentation. Right now we email parents individually, it would be so helpful if this was set up automatically.
