  2. Food Service Application Federal Wording

    Under Add a Food Service Application we would like the sentence that reads "I do not qualify for benefits or do not wish to complete an application" to be updated to read only "I do not qualify for benefits" and remove the wording that says "or do not wish to complete an application". We would like all families to complete the application if possible and not skip the step to help our school with funding.

  5. Removed home access for FA/SA display for teachers

    We would like to remove the home screen access from teachers under family/student access in educator access plus. We do want our teachers to have access to the family access grade book for their students but we do not want them to have access to the home page. Private information is listed there regarding FRP applications that teachers should not have access to.

  6. information labels

    It would be nice to be able to have documentation or definitions for setting up for own label templates when creating address or information labels in Skyward. I can't find documentation on the definition of margins, label dimensions, or pitch. It would also be nice to be able to see if the templates in our system are Skyward templates or label templates created by our internal users.

  8. Change verbiage on the "Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab

    Under the"Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab, our Florida district would like the verbiage that appears when you click on the question mark to be changed for the "Public" check box to say :
    "The Public flag is normally used to exclude student information from being sent outside the district such as newspapers, Social Media, TV and other media."

  9. Add the WISEid field to Student Browse Views

    Could Skyward,
    1. Include the WISEid in ALL Student Browse/Views
    2. Include a “middle initial” field in ALL Student Browse/Views

    (For background, I asked both Skyward and DPI to confer and come up with a good way for us to compare data from Skyward Student Browse and WISEdash for Districts. It was discussed at their vendor meeting and the resolution was for me to submit a Product Idea, because a project could not be written for it.)

  10. HTML Options for Fee Mgmt / Print Statements

    We frequently use the Fee Mgmt Print Statements report and would love to have the text box be HTML instead of just plain text so that we could insert a hyperlink to our payment website.

  11. Early Grad Class Rank

    When a student graduates a full year early, there is no way to include them in the class rank for the cohort that they are actually graduating with. This is due to DPI requiring that they stay in their same cohort. I had to find a workaround to get these students to be included. It would be nice if there was a dropdown or field for "Grad Year for Rank" that could be 12, even though they are still in 11.

  12. updated RTI custom form templates

    We would like for the RTI custom form template options to match the custom form template options on the 3.0 sped forms. Please see the attachment to see the options in the sped forms, that we are requesting on the RTI forms. Currently the RTI forms are not being utilized to the max, as they are not formatted as we need.

  13. Tardy Kiosk Configuration - "Calc minutes..."

    In the Tardy Kiosk Configuration, there is a section to "*Calc minutes late based on: Period Start Times, Class Start Times, Absent Start Times, Specific Start Time"; however, choosing one of those options doesn't record, or report that "calculated" time anywhere. I'm not sure the purpose of having those options there and it's caused confusion and inefficiency in trying to figure them out. Please remove them or, if they are intended for only a specific states use, please indicate that on the screen so we don't waste time looking at them.

  14. Allow parents to EDIT and RESUBMIT a NSOE application!

    PLEASE ENTER YOUR VOTE!
    IDEA: Please allow parents to EDIT a NSOE through Skyward, as it would be extremely beneficial for our campuses. If the skyward developing team could add a way for the registrars at the campuses to flag a NSOE application as “INCOMPLETE”, the parent would then be able to return to the application and resubmit any documents when necessary. In the event we have parents uploading incorrect documents or are missing docs/information, the parent could resubmit. Currently, our campus registrars are limited to only Deny or Cancel the application entirely. Campuses do not request parents to email…

  15. pass fail grades

    On standards grading the Pass/Fail only applies to Subjects and Skills not the overall semester/term grades. If you do not use the P grade mark for any other Grade Mark Group you currently need to change the Grade Mark to be an "other" override and then the teacher would need to override the Term grades. Otherwise you will need to continue to manually change the term grades to P/F grade marks manually.

    But P/F works differently with secondary gradebooks; correctly appears on the report card. We would like to request programming for P/F grades within standards gradebooks and report cards…

  16. Tennessee needs a report to identify when a Primary teacher is changed so that Teacher history can be updated

    Tennessee needs a report to identify when a Primary teacher is changed so that Teacher history can be updated. This info is stored in the Meets history. How can we pull it nightly?

  17. We need a mass add staff classification!

    We have over 600 teachers/admin in our district who need Student Support Plans and Teacher classification to get into IIEP. We have done this manually for most, but we constantly have new staff and it is hard to go into each person one by one to "make sure" they have it. Why isn't this a utility yet? It is necessary for DEX.

  18. Add period and total minutes to extracted data FTE report

    it would be helpful to have the classes listed on the FTE student schedules from the maintain in period number order and to add the period number to the report. It would also be helpful to total the minutes for each student in addition to totaling the FTE.

  19. Give more flexibility to naming of periods in Bell schedule

    Give more flexibility to naming of periods in Bell schedule. Most of our high schools have a short period at some time during the day, so if it was between 2nd and 3rd period they might call it 3a. Or some schools would like to call it "Patriot time" or "Prime time". They don't want it to be the zero period and show up out of order. Or maybe a way to default student schedule to sort by meet times.

  20. Secondary Gradebook - Ability to Pull Category/Assignment specific level data

    I would like to suggest developing a report (or ability within data mining) that would allow users to pull reports of specific categories/assignments from the secondary grade book.

    Example: I want to be able to see the trends of 3rd gr MATH TESTS or READING TESTS throughout the school year. I can only pull Quarter or Semester grades. There is a report that sort of gets this data but it is student specific and there is no way to sort and organize the data by a class or grade level for comparisons.

    Screenshot attached. show the CRAC category I would…
