    Our nurses would like an additional tab under the Health Office Visit area for Scheduled Procedures. This would be for them to log their catheterizations, tube feedings, O2 assessment, etc.

    Option to show Unpaid Food Service Balance and Unpaid Fees Owed on the main screen of the mobile application. You can see menus, grades, unread messages, etc. But you have to click into the full menu of the mobile app to see unpaid balances. Fees owed and schedules should show on the main screen of the mobile application for all families.

  4. Add a date range for the report: Print Forms

    Would be nice to be able to add a date range to the PRINT FORMS report.
    Our school does a new I-6 for each progress report. Would like to be able to print just the most recent instead of all of them.

  5. Include photo on medication administration screen

    I would like to suggest the feature of always displaying the student photo (not via a click or a hover, but always visible) on the window for medication administration. This would add another layer of certainty that the nurse is verifying that they have the correct student before administering any medication.

  7. Academic History - School picks the years shown

  9. Add an option to request translation services when scheduling conferences

    When scheduling conferences in Family Access we would like there to be an option to request translation services for conferences. We want access to translation services to be the norm and not something that families feel burdened to request. This would need to include spoke and sign language, and ideally the selection should be written in the language used by those needing the service.

  10. Need to export F1 and F2 information in separate record line for Transfinder Transportation Export/Import

    Using Transfinder transportation software, we need to be able to export a separate record for Family 1 and Family 2, so that Transfinder can assign bus routes for both addresses for a student.

    Right now only one address is being exported for students with two families so only one set of stops can be created and imported.

  13. semester default formula

    If EOC were to be back in time to include in grades: Is there a way to have a separate formula that would average the "initial" S2 Grade (not Final Grade) with the EOC using different percents. Other words, use the initial S2 grade which includes Q3-40%, Q4-40%, SE2-20% and average it at 85% with EOC score at 15% for a final S2 Grade. Then the final S2 grade (with EOC averaged) would be averaged with S1 grade as 50/50 for a FINAL GRADE.

  14. Food Service Application - Consent for Disclosure

    We would like to see the Consent for Disclosure set up in a way where parents can Check No or Yes, then make that part of the application required so that we know that this specific part of the application was seen and completed. If the family completes the F/R application in Skyward they would be required to complete the Consent for Disclosure by either Checking the No box putting in their electronic signature and date, or by clicking the Yes box, but if the Yes box is checked they then would be required to complete which program they give…

  18. Mass change Web access based on grade level

    It would be helpful to be able to add/remove Web Access for students based on a grade level. We do not want our 4k-1 grade student to have Web Access on but would need to turn on Web access for 2nd grade.

  19. textbook

    Textbook Tracking - Option to Let Teachers Submit Textbook Requests:

    Our district would like an option added to the Textbook Tracking Module that would allow teachers to submit requests for additional textbooks throughout the school year. This way not only would our curriculum department receive the request via Skyward, this data would also be in the Module for future reference.
