  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. Add From Email address field in Automated Email

    Add the option to send from email address field in Automated email. Similar to the option in Message Center. When the automated email is sent to guardians, the person setting up the email should not always be the person the parent is replying to.

  5. 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.

  6. Student Browse - Grade View

    In the Student Browse, using the Views: of "Grades", it only shows columns for Semesters. Our middle schools grade on Quarters and a Final. Options for selecting the appropriate Term would be great. Thanks!

  9. 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.

  10. Email Partial Progress Report

    The current Email Progress Report only allows reports for our defined terms. We are a center-based CTE School. We use 6 terms to accommodate students from schools that are on either Trimesters or Semesters. We'd like to be able to Email Progress Reports from a date range, not just a single term. In other words, we'd like to Email Partial Progress Reports where we can pick the date range of the report.

  11. Attachments needed for local programs

    Sometimes we have meeting documentation associated with alternative placement. We need to be able to attach documents to the local programs so that we may track student entry and exit into alternative placement.

  12. Tardy Kiosk - print # of days tardy on ticket

    I see no option to print the number of DAYS tardy a student has. It appears to only allow number of periods tardy (can be multiple every day) or number of days absent. Or at least find a way to print the number of a specific attendance code entries per student.

  13. State Reporting Info in Browse Screens

    With the new Ed-Fi process, so much time is spent navigating between pages. It would be very helpful if State Reporting columns/info could be added to Views for the browse pages.
    For example on the Course Master page, WS\OF\CS\BC\CM\CM, it would be amazing if there was a View that included the Dual Credit, Subject Code, Subj Code Grade Level, Course Level, Do Not Send to Ed-Fi fields.
    On the Staff Browse page WS\SF\SF, it would help if there was a Classification View so we could see the Start/End Dates, Entity and Classification
    On the Student Browse page WS\ST\ST, it would…

  14. We need the ability to capitalize a letter in the a student's name.

    We need the ability to capitalize a letter in the a student's name. For example McDougal, currently Skyward does not consistently allow the "D" to be capitalized. We need to be able to input a student name exactly as it appears on a birth certificate. This impacts every category listed above but I chose "Student".

  15. Hide Address 2 from Online Registration

    It would be helpful if we could hide address 2 from the online registration module. Currently, the only options we can hid are primary address and mailing address. Address 2 shows under the family address section in online registration and families are getting confused and entering grandparent addresses and second homes.

  18. print NSOE parent attachments under the manage required documents area

    In NSOE on the right hand side there is a button "manage required documents". By selecting this button, can it be added that we can print all of the attachments for that application at one time. Instead of going to the attachment and printing one at a time and the ability to print the custom forms for that application at that same time?

  19. ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations

    ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations.

    Please update the current ELL Score Import Utility to copy over previous year Accommodations and Support Delivery Model info. The accommodations are necessary information for Access for ELL setup in the DRC portal for WI State Testing and can be pulled into the DRC portal. Also the list of Accommodations in Skyward are not the same as in the DRC state testing portal. Can these be updated to match ?

  20. Option for a teacher to select whether they want No Count to be removed when an assignment is synced again from Canvas

    Option for a teacher to select whether they want No Count to be removed when an assignment is synced again from Canvas. We have a school that frequently has students that are late on their assignments. But they found that if the score is still visible it encourages them to still to the work. Also if the score is there it allows the teacher to still be able to track how the student is doing. Since this is the case when the teacher syncs the assignment after the due date from Canvas they then go into Skyward and mark the…
