Arena Scheduling and Displaying Classes available
When we open Arena Scheduling in Student Access, we need the capability to allow the student to filter (Hide) courses that are unavailable to be scheduled (Indicator F for Full). We have a lot of courses that the students cannot select and they have to keep paging through to get to one they can schedule. This would be a huge help.

Attendance letter template assign to a list of students without scheduling the letters
We have our scheduled attendance letter templates set up to create and send a letter to parents once a student reaches a threshold of six unexcused absences. This letter states that the parent will need to report to the school for a mandatory conference at a set date and time to discuss their student's truancy issues and what can be done to resolve them. However, some of these parents don't show up for this meeting and then those students are sent home with a letter stating that they are on an overnight suspension until his or her parent shows up…

Add notifications of what's new in gradebook for parents (newly graded assignments, etc.)
These are ideas from a parent in our district that I actually think would be fantastic additions for all parents in Family Access since I, too, once had to keep track of a scattered child's assignments. My thought is to have some kind of "what's new" feed in Family Access that would show this information
Here are his ideas:
My son has a history of not turning in assignments. On some of those assignments, he has no recollection until they show up in Skyward as missing. I keep a history of all assignments, when they first show up in Skyward,…

Custom Forms - Add Skyward Fields
In the Student>Custom Forms, we would like to have some Skyward Fields added:
Advisor
Counselor
Discipline Officer
Teacher of Record
CY Homeroom
CY Homeroom Room Number
CY Homeroom TeacherWe would also like to have the option to choose how the student's name displays when we select the Student's Name field. Sometimes we will want to use the full name and sometimes we want just the first & last name.
Thank you.

NSOE Enrollment Users Mass Delete
We need a utility to mass delete old and unused NSOE Enrollment Users. As of right now, there is only a Delete button that can be used to individually delete each one. This is time consuming and a hassle.

Time stamp field format in Custom Forms
It would be great to have an actual time stamp field available when creating custom forms. Right now we use a text field and put in the ToolTip instructions to enter HH:MM AM/PM, but rarely is it entered correctly. This is a huge hindrance if we want to pull data out of the system for any sort of analysis. An field that automatically fixes the formatting (like the date field) would be extremely helpful.

Automated Email Notificaiton for Email Changes
Our SpecEd Dept would like an option to get an automated email notification from Skyward when email addresses get changed- in particular for sped students. We already have the option for email notifications when names, addresses, and phone numbers are changed, but not for emails.

Tardy Kiosk Configuration Options.
Add configuration options to allow the absent type/reason to follow the bell schedule. The bell schedule allows you to have a class start time and an absent time.
i.e. They are marked tardy if absent less than 10 minutes and marked absent if they are more than 10 minutes.

Mass update KELPA tests by Program Participation Code-KANSAS St Reporting
It would be great if we could mass code by participation code in the Mass Update Assessments for KELPA testing. There are 2 different test codes depending on the Program Participation level and it's a pain to mass code all students with the same code and then have to adjust a few hundred students who need the other code even using a process list.

Automated email for student enrolling with existing IEP
We do not utilize the integrated IEP features of SMS 2.0, but would like to have the option to send automated emails to specified staff when a new student enrolls or re-enrolls who has an existing IEP status. This simple alert would allow procedures to begin much more quickly.

Homeless Students receiving OSS - Texas
Homeless students and OSS Discipline. Texas
to comply with state law we would like a warning message to come up when a user is entering a discipline record for a homeless student AND trying to give the student OSS . We would like a message to pop-up on the data entry screen warning the user about what they are trying to do and that it does not comply with Texas law. We believe doing this modification at the data entry point would help districts not break the law - where as a PEIMS/TSDS edit at PEIMS/TSDS time is too late.…

hide a class from a students schedule and Family Access
It would be helpful to be able to hide a specific course from displaying on a students schedule or family access. We have resource "courses" that serve as a caseload and we do not want it to be view-able on the students schedule since it is not technically a class. We sync with Clever and can not use activities to sync those caseloads, so we put them in as courses.

Custody Alerts
When students have a custody alert that is critical to the safety of a student, there should be a much more appropriate graphic than a tiny little "almost hidden" bubble on the very cluttered user interface. Other software packages have much more "alerting" graphics to make the matter obvious to busy secretaries fielding many tasks simultaneously while verifying custodial and emergency contact people who come to pick up students at the end of the day. Please pay greater attention to making your user interface more user friendly.
137 votesAs mentioned by others in the comments, you can leverage parental consent notes and/or critical alerts to help draw additional attention to these students. We did bring this feedback over to the Qmlativ product and much like on SMS you can require acknowledgement on Critical Alerts; however, on Qmlativ we do this per student based on their explicit situation, in addition to allowing a custom note to be added to the alert that can be viewed by anyone who has access to that student indicator for additional awareness.

Delete Attendance Letters
It would be so much easier to have secretaries delete attendance letters that have already generated if a student turns in the appropriate excuse. It is too risky to give them access to the Utility to Maintain because of the "Delete ALL Attendance Letters" option. We'd like to have the delete button right on the student profile- Attendance- Letters tab.

Data mine program entry date for English Learners
I have discovered that anytime an adjustment is made to the English Learner tab the Program Entry Date must be entered. This was a new field added for state reporting about a month ago. We would like to be able to data mine this date so we know which students need the program date entered so we don't have to do it when we are trying to enter minutes for our state reporting. Thank you!

Make a button or dropdown option for teachers when the parent was a no show for conferences.
Once Conferences are done, teachers don't have an option to select "No Show" for conferences. They can check that the parent attended, but what if they don't show up?
