  2. Hide EOC Score in Family and Student Access

    We are a block district and import EOC scores into Skyward in January. I am having to keep the gradebook disabled to parents and students until Semester 1 grades are ready. Teachers have to review these EOC scores before completing the students final grades, which takes a bit. If there was an option to hide the EOC score until we are ready to release grades, that would enable us to leave open the gradebooks for families so they can see the new term assignments.

  3. Keep filter parameters when editing

    When in any screen that allows filtering, keep the set parameters in place when editing. The filtered items become limited by certain edits. For example, when editing an address for direction. If my list is not filtered by direction, but I edit that field, my filtered list becomes only the entries with that directional. I have to reset the filter to see the entire list each time. The same issue occurs in course master, section master, etc.

  4. 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.

  6. SE I-4 Form -Add Merge Field for 'Times per Frequency' -Part B & C/ Code Table & Merge Field for -Part A

    Please consider adding a merge field for the times per frequency field that is on the intermediate screen for the I-4 Program Summary form. Also, it would make more sense to add the possibility of further defining that field. Currently, we are only allowed to enter a numeric value and we can not define that the numeric value is for example, "minutes". Ex: we can set the frequency to be 2x monthly and the times per frequency to "20" but we would still have to manually add the word "minutes" to the form because there is no other way to…

  7. Mass Activate / Inactive Security Groups

    We inactivate security groups during the time frame after rolling the year and the start of school so that the school personnel can add scheduling information without all the teacher "eyes" viewing their progress. If we could select groups to mass activate and inactive, it would be a huge time saver.

  8. Date for Waiting for Approval IEP or Approval of IEP's & Evals

    It would be great if a date could be entered or auto filled for when an IEP/Eval is marked as "Waiting For Approval" or "Approved". So then you would not only know who marked it, but the date they did it.

  10. PEIMS CRW please add "Process Individual Staff" so we can re-extract one or a few teachers

    PEIMS CRW please add "Process Individual Staff" so we can re-extract one or a few teachers ... we waste a LOT of time re-extracting all staff sections when we might only need to extract sections for one teacher

  11. Scan UPC bar codes in Food Service from Item Master

    We would like to be able to scan UPC codes in the Food Service Cashier area. Right now we can scan the 4 character barcodes for the items in the Item Master list. I would like the characters/digits in the name to be increased to 15 so that Product UPCs could be added to the Master List and scanned more easily for Ala Carte.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
