  1. Discipline Auto-Emails

    Currently a discipline email can be triggered by specific Actions on the save, but we'd like the email to be setup as a reminder on the "to be served" date so the email reminds the student of detentions and suspensions.

  3. When added students in future scheduling in entry by class it would be very helpful to have NY homeroom as one of the fields .

    When added students in future scheduling classes under the entry by class it would be helpful to have the NY homeroom field that way we can filter to make the process faster.

    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.

  6. EA+ My Activities add *** GPA, Term GPA and grade bucket grades on the same report

    EA+ My Activities add *** GPA, Term GPA and grade bucket grades on the same report. For example on the Activity Roster or the Progress Report. Both help our coaches determine whether students are eligible to play. Or even when expanding the activity next to the students name.

  8. 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.

  9. Mass set note filter

    We’ve researched this issue, and it turns out that the system is functioning properly. We’ve tested, and users at the middle school (and elementary school) do have access to see the legal notes. However, the list of notes is filtered by date, and the user must update the “Filter Options” to see notes since a specified date. If the filtering date is not far enough back, then older notes are not shown. We’ve confirmed with Skyward Support that there is no “rolling forward” process for notes from year to year or campus to campus. They are tied to the student.…

  10. Texas- Add grade level to the pre-defined fields for the Family Access Absence Notifcation Request

    Texas - Add grade level to the pre-defined fields for the Family Access Absence Notification Request. Adding the entity that the student attends would be very helpful. This would allow the attendance clerks to quickly identify their students should there be more than one attendance clerk on a campus.

  11. Auto Email for parent email changes

    In the Advanced Features - Automated Emails under Demographic Changes add an auto email for parent email changes. This way staff using other software programs such as SEEDS knows the email changed and can change it in their systems.

  12. Textbook Tracker

    We utilize textbook tracker to check out laptops to our teachers and administrators. We have several administrators that are not assigned to a a school entity, and we cannot accurately check out a device to them. It would be very helpful to be able to check out items in entity 000 (district entity) for those who are not assigned to a school.

  13. Pennsylvania Graduation Pathways

    Is there any plan on making it so Pennsylvania's graduation pathways can be entered for students in the Skyward system? It would be nice if it could automatically pull information such as SAT score, Keystone, etc. when it is imported into the system. Even if it needs to be entered manually that would be better than nothing. That way we have a way to see what pathway students are taking to graduate.

  14. Enhance LEP Student Indicator

    We are required to track LEP students even after they are fluent. Could the indicator have an option to "Show Indicator even if Student has exited the Program" similar to what is available for the Special Ed Disability indicator?

  15. CAREER PLAN - Identifying the class from AP/Honors/Regular better by name and weight classification/add course number too.

    CAREER PLAN -- It would be VERY helpful if in the Career Plan screen, where the name of the class shows, if either the full name shows or the shortened name of the class shows, and the course numbers. It is not helpful to see a partial name because you cannot see if it is an Honors class or not. We typically have the course code reflect if it is an honors class, as well as having the word or at least the letter 'H' tacked on to reflect that it is honors. Also, in the weight area, the first…

  17. Auto Email to parents who have not completed Registration

    It would be great if we could set up an auto email sent to parents who have not completed online registration. Or maybe update the options in the verification status report template and add a check box where if it was checked it would send an email to parents who have not completed registration and then the report could be ran as a scheduled task.

    Pupil Nondiscrimination Self-Evaluation Report - create one with all necessary fields to be cloned by user. I have attached a copy of one that I ran, I forgot the ELL's so I need to redo it. This gives you an idea of what I am talking about.

  19. Add an attachment file to the LEP/Bil/ESL Special Programs Tab.

    Adding an attachment file to the LEP/Bil/ESL Special Programs Tab would allow us to add LPAC documentation and other info so teachers could pull up information without having to request it from the office or ESL Coordinator. It would save time and effort in our classrooms which in turn would benefit students.

  20. 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.
