  3. Adding a character counter to comment boxes within a standard based custom report card or in teacher grade books

    After creating a Standards Custom report card, the teachers are asking how many characters fit in each comment box. I do not see a character count in the teacher grade book nor do I see anything that would allow me to find out when I add the comment box while building it. Is there a way to add available character count to comment boxes within the teacher grade book? If not I think it would be a great tool for the teacher to have to know how much space is available to make comments.

  4. Data-minable PGP

    We use PGPs to capture loads of information on students for teachers to view. The problem is that you can only view individual students and there is no report function. If the PGP were data-minable then we could run reports for large groups of students.

  5. "Interpreter Needed" checkbox on Profile

    Checkbox for "Interpreter needed" on Profile Tab. We currently have a custom form to indicate when a student's family needs an interpreter for conferences. It would be extremely helpful to have an indicator in General Information that would be quickly accessible when phone communication is required.

  6. Staff that are also parents in district that are payors. We would like to have the option as to which email the notices are being sent.

    We have staff members that are parents in the district and the payor notices go to the home email address and we would like for them to go to the schools email address. When their kids leave the district, the parents are not always checking the home emails and miss the notices we send them from the school for lunch balances.

    It would be helpful if we could click on the Totals button and run attendance totals for previous years. Currently, we can only run it for the current year.

  8. Web Login ability to Online Enrollment Users

    For NSOE, it would be helpful if an admin was able to Web Login to the Online Enrollment Users accounts so we can assist remotely with application issues.

    Currently, I cut and paste email and password info in to a new login in screen to log in as them to help them with steps in the process.

  9. Food Service Application Processing in Skyward

    Currently when printing a pseudo application, a box shows up with information to be completed by the district. We need a way to enter and capture this information in Skyward without having to print out the application? Currently we capture the application from the parent through family access, physically print the application, complete the information to be completed by the district, and then scan the application back in!!!

  11. Allow the family to enter both Parents on one screen. Many times only one guardain gets entered in the enrollment process.

    It makes more sense to me to be able to add both guardians in one screen instead of having to click a button to add a second guardian to a family. Most people do not understand how the family set up is so they fill in one parent and move to the next step. We spend a lot of time following up with parents because they do not take the time to read the buttons.

  12. Automated email notification when a new document is uploaded

  16. Preferred name available in Point of Sales System.

    We have transgender students that come through the lunch line. It is quite confusing and embaressing when a student comes through the line that has not legally changed their name yet. We need a be able to have a better system than using the critical wanding messages that we use for food allergies.

  17. Other ID field on all reports

    It is frustrating and time consuming to run a report to compare data only to find that one report used alphakey and the other used Other ID. Other ID should be standard on every report run - many schools use this as their student ID and NOT the alphakey. Alphakey could also be standard, they could both the there; we use Other ID but bottom line, one field needs to be consistent across ALL Skyward reports so we can do data comparison more efficiently. I should not have to keep a data mining report strictly to convert alphakeys to other…

  18. Create an import layout for the TSI Assessment

    I would like for there to be an import template created to import the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) Assessment. This test is being required for students to enter college and it would be helpful to have the results in Skyward to share through TREx and on transcripts.
