  1. Online Registration

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

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Our district would like to see the At Risk tab expanded

    I know this would be a programming request, but our Asst Superintendent wanted me to check and see if there was anything in the near future for adding the eligibility requirements for the K-12 KS At-Risk Program into Skyward? If there could be boxes that could be check marked as to why they qualify for this program, it would help tremendously with reporting of this and why the student(s) qualify. I have added a screenshot from the KIDS 23-24 Collection System File Specs.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Make the family registration not show complete unless the school approves it.

    Make the family registration not show complete unless the school approves it.
    We have parents upload proof of residency in the registration process and they will upload anything to by pass it. I would like it to not show completion until we have seen the POR and approved it.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Student identified as a TWIN flag

    It would be nice to have a new field in SMS 2.0 or even better in Qmlativ that would be used to mark the student as a TWIN. I am seeing more and more names that are very similar, if not the same and has the middle name as the different name. Sometimes I cannot tell if two students named Zavion/Zavior, Everkeigh/Everleigh, Ruth Shamar/Ruth Thamar, Da'Mario/Da;Marion, or Aalanah/Aalayah are the same student with a mispelled name or actually twins.

  14. New field in Skybuild Import

    Illinois now requires the submission of community service hours. We use an outside vendor to gather this data and I would like to be able to Import it to Skyward using a csv file through Skybuild. A new field would need to be created in Skybuild Import in order to do so. Special Programs - Community Service hours

  15. Special education forms should include names of all guardians

    Fields should be added or updated to include all guardian names on all form templates that are sent to guardians. Currently only the names of the primary and secondary guardians (from families 1 & 2) are included. Occasionally there are more than two guardians for a student.

  16. In the Fee Management Student Receipt, delete Tax Paid and add Date before Code.

    To help clarify the fees to parents, the date of when the fee was added to their student's account should be visible on the student's receipt before the Bill Code. Since we do not charge student taxes, the Tax Paid column can be deleted.

  19. Grades Tab/Family & Student Access - Consitent with Bolded / Not Bolded Grades

    It would just make things less confusing if the Grades Tab and Family/Student Access were consistent with posted/non-posted grades. Currently, in the grades tab, posted grades are not bold and non-posted grades are green and bold. In family & student access, posted grades are black and bold and non-posted grades are not bold.
