  3. Military Connected Registration Date/Start and End Date

    Currently when a parent completes registration (New & Returning), Military Connected data updates including the start and end date per the date registration was completed. We open returning student registration in May during the current school year which causes issues for the current school year's data being that it end dates and/or starts the program within the wrong school year. It would be great if there was a date range for the next school year within configuration. I could enter the school start date and the correct end date for the previous school year.

  5. Academic Eligibility -Auto Generated Letters & Ability to Post to Student & Family Access

    It would be so helpful to have auto generated letters for Academic Eligibility, similar to the auto generated attendance letters. We would also really like the ability to mass post those letters to Student and Family Access.

  6. BUSING MASTER CONFIGURATION

    When editing a student already assigned to a bus stop (on Busing Master) an option to select that student's family 1 or 2 address would be helpful and save time when entering address details in description or stop detail. The bus stops then don't link to the busing addresses screen on the student profile side. This option would also save time.

  7. In health forms, allowing the IHP report to be converted to Excel

    The Health report, Student Individual Health Plan (IHP), is designed to print HTML IHP forms, but it would be very helpful if the report could be converted to Excel so it is easily editable and can be saved and used when students are going on field trips. Right now other reports can convert to excel but this one is not available

  8. Absence Request FA Screen

    Our district uses the absence requests to request early dismissals. A Skycoder prompt based upon attendance code (such as early dismissal) would be beneficial to remind parents not to submit an early dismissal through the portal after 9:00 a.m. for the same day. Likewise, a prompt attached to the medically absent code telling parents to attach a doctors note would be beneficial as well, when the ability to add attachments is added. :)

  9. A "Received Note" button like the "Parent Notified" button in the Attendance Edit Screen.

    This would allow us to mark received excuse notes. Along with this be able to pull a report for those who have actually submitted an excuse note.

  10. Report showing Letter Grade vs. Percentage

    We would like this report because we have ran into times where teachers do grade changes after terms have ended and when Admin accept these changes there are times that the percentage and letter grade do not match up. This would make it easier for us to identify the students who's do not match.

  14. Mass importing the student pictures on an IHP

    On our IHPs for students, there is a merge field for the student picture. Because new pictures were uploaded mid year, when the nurse prints this plan now, no picture shows up on the plan. They can go in manually on each plan and "reimport" the merge field but with some schools having over 100 plans this can be a tedious process since they have already done this beginning of this year. Is there a way to "mass" update a merge field so school/nurse can see the student's picture?

  15. Add Mass Deny/Cancel Utility to NSOE

    We need a utility that allows us to Mass Deny/Cancel Applications by either Date Received or Expected Enroll Date. I’d want to see it with an option to mass deny by either one of those date options because some are simply outdated, and others are dated incorrectly by expected date of enrollment. So, the utility would need to be able to run on either option. Right now, I literally delete (deny) hundreds of applications one by one, by having to assign it and then deny it by hand using copy/paste for the reason. Lastly, this utility would also require a…

  16. Check-In

    Please change the ranges available in all Student Check-In areas (Attendance, Clinic, Discipline & Guidance). It is currently wide open. Meaning, you can choose enter any student who has ever been enrolled in the district. I was able to check-in a student who graduated in 2008 and never attended that particular campus.

  18. Credits earned prior to 9th grade

    I want high school credits earned in middle school to appear on the high school transcript under the actual grade that they were earned in (8th grade, 7th grade) instead of lumping them all in 9th grade. This is not accurate.
