  2. Emergency contacts

    Have a box next to the contact name to insert words like call this parents first or look at the comment box. I don't always carrot down to see these messages before I start calling emergency contacts.

  3. Online Assignments- Lock Screen

    It would be amazing if we could lock down the screen/browser for online assignments. With all the AI out there, being able to lock it while students are accessing would be incredibly helpful!

  5. Day Summary Report

    Allow for the selection of activities in the day summary report. It would be great to schedule this report for our sports teams without having to create a processing list.

  6. Add ACC INSTR in Special Programs to the Mass Add/End Utilities

    Please add the ACC INSTR (for accelerated instruction) option in Special Programs to the Mass Add and End Utilities for Special Programs. I've looked and ACC INSTR is not an option in either location in the Mass Add or End utilities. Thank you.

    I would like to suggest that there be an addition of running Mass Generate Family Permissions/Passwords (WS\FA\FM\PS\UT\PP) by Processing List. Our school district turns off web access to families who have any type of residency exception each year until updated documentation has been turned in. Our current process is to manually call up each necessary student profile then navigate to the web access tab and then edit the family access to uncheck Allow Family Access. Then we reverse it once appropriate documents have been returned to us. We generate this list of students with these exceptions via a Data Mining…

  8. ADA/FTE report title and column headers

    We would like to have the ability to have the template title appear on each page of the ADA/FTE Report instead of just on the initial parameters page. Furthermore, we would like the Reporting Period: # parameter descriptor to appear under the Semester 1 or Semester 2 column header so that it is clear what reporting periods are included. Having just Semester 1 or 2 is very misleading for staff who only look at the district or campus pages. And example of the report is attached.

  9. Fee Management/Activities

    When families ADD a Fee to pay for in Family Access, it would be beneficial if the names would auto-populate to Activities so we don't have to manually type them in.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  17. Import 504 Data

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

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
