  1. Adding "All Area Access Login / Web Login / Mobile Login as a user to Security Group"

    When setting up Security Group Access levels, specifically for "Web Product Setup" There is no way to assign the ability for a user to have "All Areas Login / Mobile Login" without granting that user System Wide Access in Product setup. Would be nice to have this ability select-able as a option in Security Groups for secretaries that are trying to login to a teacher account or family account without needing to have the complete product setup available to them.

  2. update skyward documentation

    Your skyward documentation area is not updated to newest version. When I look up, for example, how to enter different kinds of discipline and actions it very vague and is of no help. It is also from 2012. I realize that having so many documents in the help area would take a lot of time you should do this for some of the most used areas. I think if you attached a video from a up to date skyward webinar would be easier also.

  3. Add Course Substitution Option to Grad Reqs

    Under coursework requirement area - WS\ST\TB\GQ\TB\GQ

    It would be helpful if in addition to the options to manually add coursework, that there also be an option to add coursework being used for substitutions. Using the picture as a reference, an S can be added to the options to choose from if needing to substitute a course.

    For example, a student in Special Education may have a LOTE substitution for graduation. I would like to have the ability to add courses designated as General Electives to Texas Graduation areas of LOTE and Physical Education as these are the areas where students…

  4. Scheduling - Print Teacher Schedules

    When printing out Teacher Schedules (WS/OF/CS/RE/TS), it would be nice to have the option to choose specific teachers, but more than one teacher at a time. We have multiple teachers who teach in different departments, so just choosing a department or a subject, doesn't get us what we need. We would like to have the option to checkbox more than one teacher at a time.

  5. Gradebook report in spreadsheet format

    It would be really helpful to be able to pull a report in spreadsheet format of student grades. The Student Assignments report under Student Management > Educator Access Plus > Gradebook > Reports is close, but I need a csv that I can edit and upload to other systems.

  6. Add the graduated Y/N and Grad Date from profile as an object on student transcripts.

    Currently when we print a transcript for a senior that is credit deficient or a dropout, the graduation date is populated from the projected grad date object. This is then very misleading on these transcripts as the student has not graduated. It seems to make more sense to pull the grad date from the profile tab, that way students that are credit deficient or drop outs, would not populate a graduation date. Thank you for considering.

  7. Update Team Conferences with teachers when a course or section is changed such as adding a team to a section

    Update Team Conferences time slots automatically with teachers when a change to a course/section is made such as Allow Conferences and adding a team to a section. So that we don't have to mass delete then re-add. Because sometimes schools notice something is wrong after guardians are already signing up.

    We noticed that Skyward made a change that when team conference time slots have already been added if a course/section is change such as adding a team to a section the students of that section are now automatically added into the available list for those time slots in that team.…

  8. Relationship Choices in OnLine Enrollment

    When a parent or guardian is doing online enrollment, and they come to the relationship drop down, the drop down includes all the possible relationships, even those for emergency contacts. We would like to make it a little easier on the parents and limit the choices for those guardian records. But we haven't found a way to exclude choices like "neighbor" or others that don't make sense. We need a shorter list for them.

  10. Student Locator Icon access in Educator Access Plus

    The student locator icon is not available when teachers are in Educator Access Plus taking attendance in their class. If a student is not in the classroom but not absent, they have to go out to the dashboard to access it (Because they have security to do so). It would great if they could click on the student locator pin on the bar at the top while in their gradebooks.

  12. service call contact preference email default

    I think it would be nice if you could make the default for "contact preference" to be email instead of phone when submitting customer access requests (aka service calls) to Skyward. I would almost always prefer to have Skyward attempt via email first but always forget to change the option from phone to email before submitting.

  15. Activities English Learner

    Adding students to Activity based on EL status. When you choose to use the Special Program Link for English Learner, it automatically adds student to an activity group.
    Problem is, Skyward is adding Active and Inactive students in to the group.

    I would like Skyward to adjust their program to only add ACTIVE students to the Activity Rosters.

    We do not exit students from EL when they withdraw to another district or out of country, because even though students leave us, they are still classified as an EL Student.

  18. Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests

    Currently, the default ranges on the Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests is set to Exclude Special Ed students. This causes them to be excluded even when running this utility using a processing list. All other mass utilities have open ranges, so schedulers didn't look at the ranges in this utility before running it with a processing list and didn't realize all ESE and Gifted students on the processing list were getting left out. They are now going in and changing it, but it would be nice if the default was truely open ranges so students protected by law weren't inadvertently excluded…
