  1. Student Locator

    It would be great to see the OTHER ID on the Student Locator. We have to go to another screen to get the other id.

  2. Career Plan – Remove both semester courses with one click

    We are setup with semester courses which are grouped when displayed on the plan. When making a schedule change and removing a course, we click the “drop down” on the group and then “Remove <course> from the plan” twice. We would like to click this once and have it remove both semesters at the same time.

  3. I would like to see more security limits under WS\ST\TB\PR\PR . I don't want them to be able to change student’s names here.

    I want our secretaries to be able to update the "General Information" but I don't want them to be able to change the legal "Student Name".

  4. Please allow for a larger font size when printing schedules - perhaps offiering a landscape option would allow the fonts to become larger.

  5. Warning Message during report card runs

    Have a Warning Message pop up when a report card run is chosen if the "Post to Family Access" or "Post to Student Portfolio" boxes are marked. This will help eliminate duplicate report cards posted to the student portfolio.

  6. Add 3 additional fields to the Absence Occurrence Report

    See the attached. Would be very beneficial to have three (3) additional fields added to the resultant report of the Absence Occurrence Report (WS\OF\AT\RE\AR\AO);

    fields to add:
    1) student's current school of enrollment (default entity)
    3) other id; AND
    2) student's current grade level

  7. Have "Other Name" from Student Profile as a field option in the Food Service POS module.

    When a student goes by a name other than their legal name, Food Service should be aware to so we use the correct name during meal service.

  8. NSOE Middle Name Field

    It would be beneficial if there was a way to mark the Middle Name field as required but also have a check box to indicate that there is no "No Middle Name". This would alleviate a lot of data quality issues in our district and also be more clear for the guardians that have children without middle names.

  9. training options to help families navigate the mobile app and troubleshooting issues

    When families run into issues using the app I am not able to help them. I don't have any training on the app and I can't get into it as a parent to see what they are viewing. Is there any way to at least add training videos?

  10. Add field to Emergency Information Report to include "Pick Up"

    Add field to canned report underneath student reports, Emergency Information Report, to include "Pick Up". There are instances where there is an individual who is not authorized to pick up the child even though they are a contact.

  11. Suspension time required

    It would be helpful if the "Total Time" field could be required when entering a suspension. Sometimes our admin forget to indicate how many hours or days a student must serve for a suspension. Thank you!

  12. We would like to be able to delete bells without it deleting bells from the prior years.

    every year we have so many bells that role over that we do not need. We would like to delete the bells not needed but with your system it deletes the bells from the prior year. We know we can change the time and titles but it still leaves a lot of bells and its messy and confusing. See document attached showing a school with all the bells. We had to XX out the bells they are not using this year so it would not confuse them. instead of having 20 bells from prior years it would be nice to…

  13. Would it be possible to create a field in the attendance entry by date screen to record the time and it would autofill the correct periods.

    Would it be possible to create a field in the attendance entry by date screen to enter the in/out time and it would autofill the correct periods based off the students schedule. We have 4 grade levels with different time periods. At this time, we need to go into the student record to confirm the period with the time for each student.

  16. customize columns as in filters for ALL screens especially office to class/activities.

    Please make all the windows adjustable to a custom view. Column width is the biggest issue. Especiall in the "office to class/activies. There are many, almost all windows are adjustable, but they do not stay that way from student to student etc. Since we all use different info and have different amount of class periods we don't have to continue to adjust and modify around columns we don't use.https://skyward.maps.k12.wi.us/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsSky/satndbrws019.w

  17. default fee due dates

    When student fees are pushed out at the start of the year through the mass fee creation utility they are able to all be given a specific due date. As students are enrolled and scheduled after running the mass fee creation utility, their fees due date are the date that the course is added. Same with when a schedule is changed, the due date for the new course fees is the date the course was added. This creates an issue when parents go to view their fees and any new fees will show up as past due. It would be…

  20. We currently incentivize attendance from previous years in our waiver process for finals. Is there a way to set up what a student and parent

    We currently incentivize attendance from previous years in our waiver process for finals. Is there a way to set up what a student and parent sees in Student and Family Access which would include their entire history of attendance for all years they are in high school. Currently it only displays the attendance records for the current year. We would like a senior to be able to see their attendance records from their freshman, sophomore, junior as well as current senior year.
