Mass Add Staff to an Entity
Hello:
Having a utility that will Mass Add and then Mass Delete staff to an entity would be extremely beneficial. For example our district has a separate entity for summer school (Entity 600) and each year we have different staff members that teach and participate in summer school and they need to be added to that entity. It would be extremely helpful if, each year we could mass add those individuals to the summer school entity and then at the completion of summer school mass delete them. Currently we have to individually add each staff member to the entity which…

Add school issued device to student check out form
Can we add, to the student check out form, an area to indicate that their school issued device has been returned? Or better yet, could we add in the Web Access AUP area, a way to indicate who has a device and possibly the tracking number on it? Maybe have the ability to import from Destiny (as an example). Then have that pull into the form as well.

Addition of identifying information for siblings
It would be a great asset if the siblings that are listed in the family tab could be identified with grade level and entity. This has become a great need during the Covid-19 situation. When a student has been exposed, one entity has to reach out to the other schools to let them know the siblings may be required to quaratine as well. Nurses usually have access only to their specific students and can't see what entity the siblings are tied to in order to make contact.

MOI entry triggers automated email to support with multilevel communication
Add an automated email for MOI changes/updates so when the MOI is changed, it would automatically trigger communication to corresponding staff (classroom teachers), secretaries and specialists (library staff, phy. ed., art, etc.) to notify them the return date or last day of in-person or virtual learning.
The same to be done for parents to notify them of the approval request to their desired instructional program change (in-person to virtual or virtual to in-person).
This would have to be visible by staff and in Skyward Family Access.

Enter in the Change History address information for existing students.
When we have KG's WITH EXISTING SIBLINGS and the parent enters in an address that is not what is on the existing siblings address info, but NSOE links the students together and updates the existing students address......can this be made and entry in the Change History tab? An address change on the existing student with the program of NSOE would be great.

Provide more access for non-primary families
It's not right for schools to be put in the predicament of choosing one guardian over another to be "primary" in divorced family. Equal parental rights should have equal parental access in the system. I understand there may be cases where one guardian can overwrite another guardian's information on the student, but as long as that information is tracked and perhaps put through the pseudo-changes approval process, then it can be managed.

NSOE
It would be extremely convenient if, when denying an NSOE application after giving the reason for denial, the guardian could then have the option to make corrections to the existing application and then resubmit it rather then having to start the entire application process over again.

Maintain File Date Stamp
I would like to recommend a way to know when your maintain file was extracted last and who the user was. This assists in knowing where you are in the process when multiple people might be working the file as well as time/date stamp is also helpful to know for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the data.

Grade Level Visible When Posting Grades
Our school posts grades for seniors days before posting for the rest of the school. While you can change the display options in the gradebook to see a student's grade level, once you go in to post grades, the grade level is no longer visible. It would be great if it would carry over so then teachers would know which students are seniors and who they have to post grades for.

In the online registration set up I would like to be able to add multiple Custom forms under 1 step.
I would like to be able to add multiple custom forms under one step of online registration. Perhaps Athletics and have 5 forms a,b,c,d,e instead of adding 5 steps to fill out 5 athletic custom forms. Same as the verify student information tab.

Create Utility to Mass Add/Update Bill Codes
Create a Utility to Mass Add or Update Bill Codes. Example: Our equipment damages accounts changed, so we have to manually update each Bill Code for each piece of IT equipment. Don't want to have to update every Bill Code with the same data. Instead be able to upload a file with the data to update or with all data to Add new codes.

Custom Forms
Hello: When creating fields for custom forms, it would be extremely helpful if there could be a warning or a pop-up stating that the data you have entered for this field has exceeded the Max Allowed Characters so that it could be corrected right away. What happens is that we don't know that the Max Characters have been exceeded until the form is active in FA or SA and we get hundreds of phone calls telling us that they couldn't complete the form because Max Characters have been exceeded.

Request Courses - Remove a "Selected Course" from the "Available Courses" column
Once a course has been selected in the "Course Requests" for future scheduling please remove it from the "Available Courses". It causes confusion for some as they think there is a bug in the system and creates support calls. Logically, your "Selected Courses" should no longer be "Available Courses".

Student State ID option on Student Reports
Please include the option (checkbox?) of printing the State ID number on any student report, especially the Student Information report as this is the only unique reference recognized by Illinois.
Also many of the state student records compliance documents require the IL State ID. Would be very helpful to not manually handwrite or mail merge a sticker onto the report.

It'd be nice to have the student status tied to the E/W records. T
Sometimes we have are made aware that a student will be withdrawing in a few days or a week, and we'd like to enter that withdraw record with the future date as we find out about it, but still allow the student to be active until that date hits. Same with enter dates. Sometime they don't start for a week or two but it'd be nice to push through the enrollment and have that student go active on the future date.

Skybuild Interface Update/Overhaul Needed
Skybuild is perhaps one of the most potentially useful but cumbersome and user-hostile features in Skyward: I often must guess the input format or value needed for a field; Skybuild field names sometimes don't match the name of the display field name; importable field options are too limited (I believe I should be able to import any and all fields into Skyward); linking fields to CSV columns is very awkward; the error/import reports are incomplete and misleading and can easily make one think the import was successful when it was not; and it is not clear what data must exists…

Determining Official Electronic Signature
Our state food service department requires that we be able to show that applications were correctly determined, the date of the determination and the signature of the determining official. It would be very convenient if this were available in Skyward so we would not have to print out each application. In a district of almost 8000 students that's a lot of applications!
