  1. More options to edit Teacher Access Security

    We need the ability to remove access for weighting an assignment in Teacher Access security settings. When using category weighting and selecting to NOT allow teachers to change category or weight, this option should be disabled but it is not. Skycoder cannot be used in EA+, so an option to edit the security access is needed.

  2. SMS 2.0 Base ADM Report by student in Excel Format

    Base ADM Report by Student – exportable to Excel. At TDASC we were offered ideas on how to reconcile ADM to SOWRD on individual student basis. It seems that the other State SIS vendors already offer this report in Excel. The report should include the individual student [EdFi ID] and the individual student ADM per each reporting period. This Excel Export would be extremely beneficial to reconcile ADM to the State System. The exact same report is available now in SOWRD. I have attached the SOWRD headers.

  4. We have staff that would like to receive an automated email if there has been a change to a current entry or withdrawal record.

  5. Student Conflict Detail Report Needs a Display Period option

    When using Period Redefinition, the Student Conflict Detail report can be difficult to read because it displays the scheduling periods. There needs to be an option to print using the display period instead so the report is easier to interpret. It is already a difficult report to read, and when Period redef is set up it makes things far more confusing. Being able to see the conflicts by display period will help to be sure that courses are flowing the way that is expected. The scheduling board shows the periods by display period, so the student conflict detail report doing…

  6. Tiny Quality of Life Improvement

    On the Skyward support site the drop downs in the blue banner, Stay Current, Customer Support, Downloads, etc. in Google Chrome at 100% zoom often times when I draw the cursor down to select an item in the drop down menu the drop down menu disappears. I imagine this is due to a tiny gap between the blue banner and the drop down because when I increase the zoom to 110% or higher this doesn't happen. I don't know how much of a difference it makes to others, nor the amount of work required to fix something like this, but…

  8. Ability to run Voc Ed hours and Daily Register for a single student

    It would be super helpful to have the ability to run Voc Ed Hrs utility and Daily Register by student(s) so that, when making corrections to a student or just a few students, you would not have to run for the entire grade level or campus to update the student details to Ed-Fi - especially with the new ATND submissions every six weeks.

  12. Allow for Building a Custom Schedule

    We have the option to build Custom forms, Custom report cards, and Custom transcripts. It would be great if we had the same option for schedules. Right now we just have the hard coded schedule report, it would be great if we had the ability to change the layout/content/etc of the schedule just like we can in report cards and transcripts.

    As there is a designated report for Student custom forms, there needs to be one for Family custom forms.

    Right now, there is only the ability to pull data for family custom forms via Data Mining.

  14. Discipline Officer: Only Show Active Staff as an option when entering incidents

    Please add the option to only show ACTIVE staff when you choose a Discipline Officer in the Discipline entry screen.
    Currently it shows both Active and Inactive.

    The only option Skyward gives us it to select the configuration option "Only allow Staff marked as Discipline Officer to be assigned to an Offense/Action" but that means you have to manually check this box individually for each staff under the Designations....Designations: Disc Officer: Yes Teacher: Yes Substitute: No Counselor: No

  15. NSOE application routing for cross-over grade level entities

    Allow for grade level options to be added to the path type when creating address paths.

    Currently, if two campuses have the same grade level options in the address path, the NSOE application gets kicked to the ISD instead of routing based on the Elementary path type.

    Example: We have an elementary that serves EE-3 and one that serves EE-5. The EE-3 elementary applications do not route to them if the middle school address path is for the EE-5 campus because the system cannot differentiate between the grade levels on the path type.

  17. More options for printing career plans

    There are currently very few options for printing career plans. The student career plan report prints the description and not the curriculum key. We have made several changes for how we display our sped courses and have needed to update career plans for multiple students, however I only know who they are based on the curriculum - it's not one grade level/campus/endorsement/etc. Some extremely helpful options include:

    1. The ability to run a report either by range or individual to look for students with a specific range of curriculums or specific individual curriculums on their career plan anywhere within a specified…
