  2. Parent to print discipline from Family Access

    Could there be a print button in Family Access for parents to print the student discipline offenses? Either one at a time or all at once (history) option.

  3. Allow Student Indicator for Threat Assessment on Offense or BTA in Special Programs

    It would be VERY great to have a Student Indicator available that is based on either the Discipline Offense record SSS Threat Assessment checkbox, or the Special Programs BTA record.
    Yes, there is a work around if you use the District Categories - BUT that requires more steps on already overworked staff and adds MORE chance of human error in data entry that may cascade into other areas.
    Please see attached document with screenshots.

  5. Online Assignments- Lock Screen

    It would be amazing if we could lock down the screen/browser for online assignments. With all the AI out there, being able to lock it while students are accessing would be incredibly helpful!

  7. Add ACC INSTR in Special Programs to the Mass Add/End Utilities

    Please add the ACC INSTR (for accelerated instruction) option in Special Programs to the Mass Add and End Utilities for Special Programs. I've looked and ACC INSTR is not an option in either location in the Mass Add or End utilities. Thank you.

  8. Printing Reports includes Navigation Menu Paths

    It would be great if when reports print, the Navigation Menu Paths were printed at the top. That way, someone else would be able to find their way to run themselves.

  9. ADA/FTE report title and column headers

    We would like to have the ability to have the template title appear on each page of the ADA/FTE Report instead of just on the initial parameters page. Furthermore, we would like the Reporting Period: # parameter descriptor to appear under the Semester 1 or Semester 2 column header so that it is clear what reporting periods are included. Having just Semester 1 or 2 is very misleading for staff who only look at the district or campus pages. And example of the report is attached.

  10. Giving more flexibility when selecting students in SIS Exports

    It would be very helpful if we could use processing lists in addition to the range and individual student choice in SIS exports. Many times I have to correct data for groups of students and this would speed that up.

  11. Fee Management/Activities

    When families ADD a Fee to pay for in Family Access, it would be beneficial if the names would auto-populate to Activities so we don't have to manually type them in.

  12. The login is already used

    Skyward is Assigning Other IDs already used by other students. Please fix this issue. This is probably due to students being merged and the ID becomes available, but then Skyward assigned the ID to a different student and we cant assign the ID and password to this new student. See error.

  13. Course Groups in Course Master Browse Screen

    We would like to see a column added to the Course Master browse screen for the Course Group assigned to the course. This will be helpful when preparing courses for the WI Direct Admit procedures. There is currently not an easy way to get an overview of which courses already have a Course Group assigned.

  14. parent entered request

    Add the functionality to change the status of a Parent Entered Request in Attendance. Once a request is approved/denied, the request status can no longer be changed. It would be helpful to have access to change this status as needed.

    This button is found in a couple of different screens. Here's one area where it exists. Office > Attendance > Entry by Date. The button is located on the right side of the screen.

  15. Family custom forms

    Skyward gives us the access to create a Parent custom Form so Families can fill out just one form per family, but we are unable to print the form. It would be nice to be able to print the Parent Custom Form we create too.

  17. Special Education Accommodations in Gradebook.

    Could a clickable accommodations menu be created in grade book assignments? This would be helpful documentation for special education and 504 students. The list of accommodations might include oral administration, calculator, small group, extra time, copy of notes, etc.

  19. Change History in the gradebook.

    Teachers often change due dates for assignments. There is no history to show this. It would be nice to see when any change is made in gradebook.
