Message Center - One per Student
Sometimes a teacher has a student in more than one class, please add the option to only send "One message per student" when multiple classes are chosen to receive a message.

Check Box - Select All
Anywhere that there is a check box to choose courses, students, etc., we should have the option to select and deselect all. Checking boxes individually is very cumbersome.

Automated Email for Staff Changes
We would like to have an automated e-mail generated when a staff member becomes inactive in an entity. An e-mail could then be generated to the Skyward admin who handles the User Accounts, prompting a change in their Active Secured User status to NO.

Other Name Field Added to the Medical Areas
All medical input fields should contain the Other Name field. Example, Student > Student Profile you can customize the line to add "Other Name" field. On the Office > Health records > Student Profile and "Other Name" field is not available on the customize line. Add to medical fields: Health Office Visit, Entry by Date, Office Visit add, etc. any input screen a nurse would work in so they can see the students' other name when working in the file. Other Name field should be close to or under the field of student name.

Online Registration Grade Levels
When setting up online registration, we are allowed to limit forms by grade level, however, it is not taking into account the school year that the online registration is for.
For example, we are setting up for 20-21 school year and will be opening long before the 19-20 school year is completed.
The restrict forms for a grade level and grade level displayed on custom forms are using the 19-20 school year grade calculation.
Since we are specifying which school year we are setting up and the system knows which school year is our current school year, it would be…

Add family by Family ID number
Allow the ability to add a family by Family ID number instead of by parent name. This would guarantee that you are adding the same family for a sibling.

NSOE - Guardian's Additional Information for Student
There is a field where guardians can give any extra information that they feel is important for the student they are enrolling. The problem we have is that the information is only available once you click to process or view the application. 1. There is no option to turn this field off (we could use a custom form to capture this) or 2. have the information print on the Quick Print report where you can print the application and all the custom forms in one place. We would like one of the two options made available to accurately process applications.

add Alpha as an option in student schedule run
Not knowing what the potential constraints may be next year with COVID19 we are thinking ahead to possible scheduling options and what a school day may look like. One idea that has been floated is to split the days alphabetically and have A-K come days 1,3,5 and L-Z come days 2,4,6. So with that being said, would it be impossible to add ALPHA as an option in the schedule run area under "Balance by Student Attributes" ?

Separate Student Families from the Student Information tab in Student Access
When in Student Access, we have had to shut off the Student Information tab where a student can see their Advisory Teacher, Counselor, and LOCKER NUMBER AND COMBO. They also can see their parent information and Emergency contacts. We feel the Parent Information should be on a separate tab in Student Access that can be toggled on or off by the district. The problem with having this information on the same screen as Locker Info and other pertinent information to the student is that since a student can see information on both Family 1 and Family 2, if a separated/divorced…

Summer School YE/YS Process
If a student is retained at their default entity, the Grad Prom field on the profile tab = "R". When you run the YE process it checks to see if the student has the "R" on the default entity and if it does it will not clear out that field if the student is enrolled in SS. We have many student attending SSHS and will be promoted after completion. However, they all are still retained because of this "coding" in YE. It would be a hugh time saver if there was a prompt in the SS entities to ask if…

Show if there are additional students linked to a particular Guardian within a different household
We have many guardians that are attached to two households due to combined or split family situations. It would be nice if the Family area showed whether there are other students linked to a particular guardian, even though the students are not linked to the same family ID.

ALL REPORTS NEED BIGGER / DARKER FONT
Whether it is printing out the NSOE forms for a student's record or printing any report in the system - the font size is too small and too light. We need the ability to enlarge font size / change report format so reports and other items printed from SKYWARD are large/dark enough to be read.

Address Direction - Option to print after street address
The local post office has asked that we move the direction field from before the street address to after the street address. Example: 625 NW Birch St should be 625 Birch St NW. Changing every street name in our address master would take a lot of work, but allowing us to print the direction after the street address would solve the problem. We have had a lot of mail returned because of this, requiring us to hand write the address and resend.

Change of Address
When a parent enters an address change via Family Access, it would be helpful for them to be able to attach 1-2 documents for Proof of Residency.

Ability to choose sibling connection
It would be very helpful to have the option of choosing whether students are siblings or not when they share a guardian. Sometimes we add Organizations as a family member to show outside agency therapists, case managers, or even legal Children & Youth guardians. Right now, any students who happen to share a therapist or case manager are automatically flagged as siblings so we have to create a separate guardian record for the same person. It would be great if there was a pop-up box notifying us that another student has the same guardian and giving the option of linking…

Change Theme color on screen of different year Course Master
When having to work in two different screens where one is the current year Course Master and another screen is a different year Course Master, it would be helpful if we had the option to chose a different theme color for the other year's Course Masters.

Automatic email to parents to clear unexcused absences
It would be extremely helpful to have an automatic email go out to parents if an absence has not been excused within a week of their absence. I understand there is an email option parents can sign up for in Family Access but many of our parents don't use this.

Send Auto Emails to ALL F1 P/G in NSOE
We feel that ALL Family 1 Parent/Guardians should receive ANY email that goes out from NSOE.
We discovered, by accident, that in NSOE, only the 1st Parent listed for the family will receive auto emails. This could be the email that is generated after they submit their application, or an email they might receive if an application is denied. If there is no email listed for the 1st Parent, they will not receive anything, EVEN IF there is an email listed for the 2nd Parent.
Skyward has indicated that this is "by design"; please vote to get this changed ASAP.…

Pulling previous year's data
It is incredibly hard to pull data from previous school years in the system. Sometimes we have to go back to previous years in order to fill out information for grants, MDE, authorizer, etc and right now that's near impossible to do. I've used JMC in the past and they had a really easy tab that changed the year that you were operating in for data, Skyward needs something simple like that in order to go back to previous years to pull data when needed, or needs to be incorporated into the reporting system to add a box for what…
