    In the diabetes care log, it is required to enter a blood glucose number. We have situations in which the glucometer reads "high". This indicates the blood glucose is too high to be read by the meter. Can you add a box that says "glucometer reading high"? We are unable to record a value when it reads high, but we need to document the meter reading.

  2. Mobile ID Card - Make available to parents in Skyward Family Access mobile app

    PLEASE make the Mobile ID Card for students available so that it can be enabled on the Family Access side for the Parent App! We need this for the ability to scan when parents come to pick up their students early or in the event of a reunification event as well as many other uses. Thank you!

  3. Teacher Scheduling Report

    It would be great if the Teacher Schedules Report (WS/OF/FS/RE/TS) would print the teacher type on the report. Is the Teacher an Alternate or a Primary on the section meet. Also, it would be great if the report template allowed you to select which teacher type to include Primary , Alternate or Both. For example, you may only want to print the report to view courses where the teacher is set as the primary teacher but not include the Alternates.

  4. Attendance Codes linked to Discipline

    After office staff enters specific attendance codes, it would be nice if a discipline entry would pop up. For example, when a Tardy code is entered, a discipline entry would pop up so that the office staff can immediately enter the discipline for the tardy. (Same goes for Unexcused absences).

  5. Food Service

    Food Service to help meet the new Verification Summary Report with ISBE 2023.
    They are now asking for students that have extension of benefits. If we could have in WS\FS\PM\PA customer control records at field that allows us to mark as extended benefits.
    They are also not wanting the REDUCED MEDICAID directly certified students to pull into the verification. They do however want to know the number of students individually receiving the benefit.

  6. Could the class period be seen on the section details? You always have to do all the drop downs to find the right period.

  7. Custom Report Cards

    We would like the ability to print a blank standards based custom report card instead of having to pull in a test student and then having to redact the confidential information along with all the grades that appear if we are printing after the first grading term. Our district has a custom report card for each grade level so it takes some time to do this.

  9. Academic Areas - Please take away cross-entity ability to see/edit/delete

    It would be very helpful if the academic areas was only available to view per entity, editing is only allowed in entity subject/skill was connected to, subjects/skills are only available for other entity to clone and not for them to edit or delete, and/or a "canned filter" is available to filter out other entities.

    Example: Currently, if our high school secretaries go into the academic areas they are able to edit and delete the subjects and skills entered in the elementary entity. If the high school adds academic areas they are mixed right in with the elementary ones. Also if…

  14. Mass Email Account Reset Link based on Processing List or Reset Needed

    The current ranges within the Mass Email Account Reset Link utility are very limited. It would be helpful two have the following two options: 1) Email based on processing list; and 2) Email only users who have not reset their password within the current school year.

  15. Add <login ID> field to automated email system

    Presently, there is no way to configure an automatic email to students containing their Student Access Login ID—not unless you configure the username to be the same as a currently existing field, such as namekey. Ideally, we would want to configure an automated email based on the Enrollment Change/Student Entered trigger with the ability to insert <login ID>.

  17. mobility code support

    Please add utilities to allow the mass add/removal of mobility codes from Entry/Withdrawal records. Ideally, I should be able to specify a date range, and optionally a withdrawal code and a mobility code to be entered if the criteria are met. Also, making the mobility code available to data mining would be very helpful as well. Affects: PA State Reporting

  18. Processing New Student Online Enrollment application, allow change order of Emergency Contacts

    Scenario: A parent submits a new student application and fails to check the emergency contact box for either/both guardians.
    During processing of application, if the registrar then checks the emergency contact box after, they are added after any other emergency contacts in the order added.

    We would like the ability to change the emergency contact order at time of processing a new application so the registrar can appropriately have the correct order prior to completing the application and not have to go back and change after processing.

    We do allow guardians to change the order at time of yearly registration.

  20. Student Profile Column Adjustment

    Would love the ability to adjust the size of the Activity Tab column (left to right) in Student Profile. Would also be nice if the columns that get adjusted would remain the size you chose until they were altered again.
