  1. Mass change default FamilyAccess Calendar display

    I would like District Calendar Configuration to make changes to the Calendar in Family Access. I want to be able to change the default colors for events in the Family Access calendar, without having the guardians to manually change those on their own.

  2. Update Prior Balance Utility

    is it possible to add some options to the "Update Prior Balance" utility? Under Utility Ranges, an option to zero out current year balance added to the dropdown. Also, an option to add an individual payor selection to the range parameters. And lastly, an option to add a note to all affected accounts when this utility is run to show that the zero balance is due to account being sent to collections.

  3. Create a sample for negative accounts being sent to collections

    Create something similar to verification sample maintenance for managing negative lunch accounts being sent to collections. This way updates and notes can be added to all accounts in one place instead of going into each individual payor account.

  4. Medication Quick Entry Verified By

    In the Medication Information Quick Entry Screen, there is a 'Admin By' Drop down box to select the Nurse that administered the medicine. We would like an additional field and drop down box named 'Verified By' to select the nurse or teacher that double checked the medicine.

  5. Post Secondary Licensure/Certification

    Our counselors are having to enter Post Secondary Licensures/Certificates in 2 areas: (1.) Under TX/NCLB - Performance Ack: this is where the info is for the transcript/TREx ( 2.) Under Special Programs - Post Sec Cert: this is where the info is for PEIMS... It would be a huge time saver if they only had to post in 1 area. We would like to see transcript/TREx data being pulled from Special Programs - Post Sec Cert.

  6. Grading & Attendance Summary Report - Add Included Activities to Report

    This reports allows the user to choose certain activities, but the activity is not listed on the report. Adding the activity to the report will be very helpful when more than one activity is included. This will eliminate running the report per activity.

  7. NSOE - Limit grades available to parent by campus

    If a parent selects a High School for the campus, they should not have the ability to select KG for the grade! We need the ability to only show the grades available on the campus. This could default to the grades setup on the “School Codes” table and then we would also need an override in the NSOE config.

  8. Add the ability to sort by class for the student missing assignment report

    Allow the gradebook student missing assignment report to sort by a class and teacher, so this report can be run and given to the study hall/pride time teacher for that student to make sure those students know what they should be working on in study hall/Pride Time.

  9. Footer Information on Special Education Paper work

    In the footer section of special education paperwork, the student's name and date the form was printed appears at the bottom. The font is extremely small. It would be nice if the font was bigger so it is easier to read and see. I have been told by Skyward the size is hard coded so it would have to be a programming change which would affect all users.

  12. Blank-out Student Search

    It would be beneficial to have the student fields blank-out when an attempt to search for a student using the Student Search yields no results. Currently the first alpha student in the system and their associated data displays. If a user is not paying attention, which can and does occur frequently in a large district, an incorrect student is updated.

  13. Multiple Pick Up/Drop Off BUSING Addresses Needed

    We have students in Skyward for busing with certain days of the week they would be picked up/dropped off at Mom's (Family 1) and then the other days picked up/dropped off at Dad's (Family 2). We can add more than one Bus Route but not more than one Bus Address - it would be awesome if we could add multiple addresses so as not to cause confusion on the parent view side.

    Please add fields from the Misc tab in the Special Prgms area. This will help when sending summer school data to the state. Data is sent differently since the entity isn't state reported.

  15. Return the option to DISPLAY BY GRADING PERIOD in Course Length area

    DISPLAY FEATURE THAT WORKED GREAT WAS REMOVED. Option to "Display By Grading Period" was removed and now Course Lengths can only be seen by Control Set. We have over 25 Control Sets for our large summer school program, viewing by Control Set is cumbersome to say the least. My Control Sets now span 3 1/2 pages, versus a view by Grading Period, that listed, and gave me add/edit capabilities, all in a nice condensed list. Here is the last bit from the ticket I submitted.

    "At this time, there is no way to flip the display on the Course Lengths/Control…

  17. Add option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template

    It will be very helpful to have the option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” added to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template. We use the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility to mass populate the Industry Certifications/Digital Tools with an “F” Fail outcome using a processing list. The “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” option is already available in the Career/Tech Ed>Industry Certs when adding Digital Tool records manually for the elementary grades. The Digital Tools for elementary grades are reported under course 0000000 only, we are adding hundreds of Digital Tools…

  20. 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.
