  1. The login is already used

    Skyward is Assigning Other IDs already used by other students. Please fix this issue. This is probably due to students being merged and the ID becomes available, but then Skyward assigned the ID to a different student and we cant assign the ID and password to this new student. See error.

  2. Course Groups in Course Master Browse Screen

    We would like to see a column added to the Course Master browse screen for the Course Group assigned to the course. This will be helpful when preparing courses for the WI Direct Admit procedures. There is currently not an easy way to get an overview of which courses already have a Course Group assigned.

  3. Printing Reports includes Navigation Menu Paths

    It would be great if when reports print, the Navigation Menu Paths were printed at the top. That way, someone else would be able to find their way to run themselves.

  5. Special Education Accommodations in Gradebook.

    Could a clickable accommodations menu be created in grade book assignments? This would be helpful documentation for special education and 504 students. The list of accommodations might include oral administration, calculator, small group, extra time, copy of notes, etc.

  8. Import 504 Data

    Add the ability to import 504 Data in Skybuild from a 3rd party vendor. This is a state-reportable field.

  10. Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose specific year to change current or future schedule viewing options

    Under Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose a specific year in order to change current or future schedule viewing options so that, for example, if we choose to 'hide teacher's name on class', for our students' future schedules, we can do so without affecting their current schedule.

  11. Giving more flexibility when selecting students in SIS Exports

    It would be very helpful if we could use processing lists in addition to the range and individual student choice in SIS exports. Many times I have to correct data for groups of students and this would speed that up.

  12. Select Family Member/Emerg Contact shows Family names and Emergency Contact names in alphabetic order. Unfortunately the nurse does not know

    Select Family Member/Emerg Contact shows Family names and Emergency Contact names in alphabetic order. Unfortunately the nurse does not know which is which. Is there anyway to add a relationship column to this screen. This would help the correct person be contacted in a appropriate amount of time.

  14. Comment section in nurse check in

    We are trying to improve the communication between teacher and nurse, especially with the littles at primary.
    When a teacher sends a student to the school nurse, they fill out a skyward form and it gives a very brief explanation of why i.e. "arm", "head", "leg", etc... Is there any way we could add a comment box to allow for more details to send to the nurse and maybe so the nurse may inform the teacher of further instructions?

  15. NSOE - virtual signature block on the applicaiton

    The NSOE application needs a virtual signature block and date option for districts to add on their NSOE application for the parent to enter when they are filling out the application. A virtual signature is now acceptable by the ISD auditors. Currently have to print the application and get the parent to sign it or create a custom form which isn't a professional look for an application for enrollment.

  16. parent entered request

    Add the functionality to change the status of a Parent Entered Request in Attendance. Once a request is approved/denied, the request status can no longer be changed. It would be helpful to have access to change this status as needed.

    This button is found in a couple of different screens. Here's one area where it exists. Office > Attendance > Entry by Date. The button is located on the right side of the screen.

  17. CROSS ENTITY REPOPRT TO VIEW HOW MANY SEATS ARE SHARED WITH OTHER CAMPUSES.

    Create a report that will show how many seats have been shared with other campuses that have cross entity. It would be so useful to know how many seats are shared and send that report instead of having to go back into the section to see this information.

  18. Change History in the gradebook.

    Teachers often change due dates for assignments. There is no history to show this. It would be nice to see when any change is made in gradebook.

  19. Family custom forms

    Skyward gives us the access to create a Parent custom Form so Families can fill out just one form per family, but we are unable to print the form. It would be nice to be able to print the Parent Custom Form we create too.

  20. scheduling constraints - specific section

    I know that we have the option for scheduling constraints for a student and a specific class/teacher. It would be amazing if that could be expanded to specific sections or other students. We are having more personal conflict issues that we need to separate students in classes. Much of the information is private/legal and can't be shared so often, inadvertently, one of us in the department changes a schedule and the students end up in the same class. This has been causing some serious issues. Please consider this idea in both SMS and Q.
    Thank you,
