  1. Prevent Duplicate MARSS numbers in the system

    We would like skyward to block individuals from adding a student if the MARSS number is already assigned to someone in the system vs just sending a warning to not proceed. We have seen in increase in MARSS #'s duplicated on students. As well has duplicate profiles because this message is either being ignored or missed. This would be very helpful!

  3. Customer Meal/Payor Balance Statements should be printed in student's home language

    Customer Meal/Payor Balance Statements should be printed in student's home language. We are required to provide any documents submitted to families in a translated version if requested. At the very least, statements should be able to be translated to Spanish.

  4. Utility to mass update grade card family to Family 1

    When we update / correct family and family connections, it sometimes makes the connection of the family to the old report cards invalid. If we had a mass update utility, we could run it to set report cards to Family 1, whichever is the current valid family.

  7. Scheduled Letters under Attendance Letters - Discipline

    We would like the possibility to select whether the discipline entered for the student through the Scheduled Letters is an Offense or a Referral. We utilize this for tardies and once a student hits a certain amount of tardies no action is assigned and the Assistant Principal needs to call the student in. This should be categorized as a Referral and not an Offense since I'm not assigning an action.

  8. Email Failed Notification User Specific- Message Center

    It would be very helpful if users could receive a notification if their email failed to send. Or users could see the status (pending, sent, error) of their specific email being sent in Message Center. Currently, there is only a district wide configuration which will send an email notification when any email fails to send. It would be helpful if users could see when their specific email failed so they do not have to wait on sysadmin or question whether the email went out successfully.

  9. Career Plans

    Allow the ability to have the Course Key in the career plans to differentiate between S1 and S2 / regular, honors, or ap course, etc. Our course key tells us that information at a glance and would be helpful to have on the Career Plan screen.

  11. SPO/SRO module

    I am reaching out on behalf of our School Police Officers. They were wondering if there is a module in Skyward in which our School Police Officers can document their interactions with students (similar to guidance notes) as well as documentation of charges that have been filed on students. They are looking for a module that they can use as a police reporting system to create templates for filing charges and such. If there isn't a module that is separate for this, where would you suggest that School Police Officers house this information in Skyward? Thank you!

  12. Online Registration

    After address entry, add a checkbox for RENT or OWN.
    This will help with residency issues, etc.

  13. Mass assign obligations

    Could there be a way to mass assign obligations to all students? For example, in order for them to see their new schedule, they first need to turn in Tech Forms for their computers and the parent needs to complete Family Access Updates.
    Also, parents should be able to see obligations in Family Access, so they are aware of what the student needs to complete.

  14. We would like to have a quick filter on the Online Registration Approval area.

    We have clerical staff approving some areas and nurses approving other areas, so it would be nice for them to be able to filter by Area.

  15. Print Future Schedules to Sort by Class Period

    Currently when printing future scheduling schedules the class sort is by the current year schedule. It would be very useful if the sort by class period would be from the future schedule, not the current schedule.

  16. Adjusting Physical template and adding yes/no option instead of no option being to just leave it blank

    Would like to have the option to check yes/no for lead and diabetes screening and add a spot to mark that the parent completed the parent portion of physical Instead of just leaving things blank if they are no. If it is left blank then we don't know if someone just forgot to complete the section/missed the information or if it was actually a no.

  17. Assign Special Grade Mark Groups by Course Type

    When mass assigning special grade mark groups, it can be done by Dept, Subject, Course or Teacher. It would be nice to do be able to do it by Course Type. We have our certain types of classes that should all be marked pass/fail, but we have to assign that grade mark group by student and can't mass assign it to all alternative classes.

  18. Mass assign grade and mark as missing simultaneously for districts that do not give 0's

    Is there any way for your developers to create an addition to the Mass Assign Options that includes a and mark as missing check box right next to the overwrite checkbox (or below it) so that when mass assigning it would auto populate the missing as well? To mass assign a score but also still tag it as missing.

  19. teacher grade posting Report to include subject and skill grades

    We are looking for a way to run a report for teachers who did not post Subject/skill grades for SBRC's. Currently we run data mining reports but that is very time consuming to go through since not all skills are graded each marking period.

  20. Add Option to Mass Change Display On Student Schedules in Mass Change Course Master Fields Utilty

    The option to mass change/update the display on student schedules checkbox under each meet would be a great option instead of having to go into each meet and uncheck this if we do not want to display the meet on student schedules.
