Automated email - Current Year Schedule Changes - Class Is Dropped
In the
Current Year Schedule Changes - Class Is Dropped Automated Email, add the ability to select specific courses to trigger email to specific staff. More specifically we would like an email to go to our bookstore manager when a student drops a course that has a course fee attached.7 votes -
Proc List Individual selections
There are times when a proc list needs to be created manually. When you go to the add names area - please make it so you can filter. Active/Inactive at the very least would cut down on the number of entries needed to search through, adding grades filters would help as well.

Could there be a widget on staff dashboards that shows their lunch balances?
Could there be a widget on staff dashboards that shows their lunch balances? Unless staff have their own children in school, they cannot see what their lunch balance is.

Need ability to default for new families check boxes for Receive Report Cards, Print Hard Copy Report Cards and Receive Forms.
Need ability to default for new families check boxes for Receive Report Cards, Print Hard Copy Report Cards and Receive Forms.
We can do so for custodial and pickup, but not for the report card stuff.
We spend lots of time double checking why someone didn't get a mailing or a report card due to a box being left unchecked by accident.
I know there are mass assign options, but we want the Receive Hard Copy of report cards to be blank to begin with and parents can change within online registration if they really want a copy mailed to…

Notes
Each year, after system rollover, each user has to enter gen notes > filter > make changes > apply. This must be done in order to view previous years notes. We use the notes sections for important information and it is very inconvenient for each staff member to have to perform this process.
Can an enhancement be created so that all notes roll with the system automatically for users to view without having to perform the above process?

Delete a Parent from Family and Emergency Tabs at the Same Time
Currently, when deleting a parent from a Family when a parent passes away, Skyward does not delete that parent from the Emergency Contact tab. It's very troubling to me when I forget to remove a parent from the emergency tab who has passed away even though I did remove them from the Family tab.

Local Race
Get rid of Local Race all together (Profile > General Information). This is causing lots of confusion on campuses as to which one to use. We are not updating Local Race. In the process, Skyward needs to change the Auto Scheduler programming to use Federal Race instead of Local Race. As far as I know, that's the only program that is still using local race. Also, since this is "federal", this should affect all states, not just Texas.

Mail Merge Data Mining into an Email
It would be excellent if we were able to mail merge our data mining into an email home to parents. Right now it will only allow you to mail merge it into a template that must be printed. It would save the districts a lot of postage and man hours spent stuffing envelopes.

Add Date and Expiration Option to Critical Alert Messages
Everyone uses the Critical Alert field for much more than health options. The flag is nice and the option to have it pop-up to display. Our district especially uses this for parent issues, legal issues and much more. The problem is, that over time these messages are terribly outdated as a student's career progresses at a district. There should be a date field entered that includes a start/end date with an option to have the Critical Alert expire! Then it will auto-turn off the message when the user so desires to have it do so. If they want to leave…

Future withdraw
It would be most helpful if we could enter a future withdraw date for a student, make all of the selections/choices that are presented (like current/next year status changes, schedule drops, etc.), then have a process trigger the withdraw in the evening of the withdraw date.
Currently, we cannot properly complete a future withdraw because there are handy options that are available during the withdraw process.

Automated Email for Student Language field to notify ELL
Provide an auto-email option that looks at the Student Language field. If the student language field is something other than English, provide the ability to create an auto-email so that the staff in Special Services can evaluate the need for English Language Learner services.

Teacher Passes
Teachers have the ability to create a "pass" for a student to come to their classroom during a specified time that can be seen by other teachers when taking attendance. Teacher X needs to Student during Homeroom. Teacher X creates pass that will show in Students Homeroom teachers attendance so Homeroom teacher can send student to TEacher X during Homeroom.

Allow Attachments from Google Drive, Sheets, Docs, etc.
Ability add attachments that aren't first uploaded into Skyward. We don't have Word or Excel on most of our Staff computers so downloading an attachment to view it does no good for most of our users.

Add option for second line to Student Profile Customize area
Add an option to add a second line to the Customize area of the student Profile area. As SMS 2.0 has matured, additional fields have been added to this area, but the amount of space available to display these fields has never been expanded. The ability to add a second line would allow users to display more information in this area.

New Student Online Enrollment with Custom Forms for Mobile Devices
Please make it possible for parents/guardians to be able to fill out custom forms through the New Student Online Enrollment on a mobile device (phone, tablet, chromebook). As it stands, even on a chromebook, it is difficult to fill out the custom forms.

Creating a Teacher Aide (TA) button to add a student to a section roster as a TA w/o having to create a new TA section
Creating TA specific sections of a course allows us to keep track of specific TA sections of a course for attendance, reports, etc. However it causes us to have many sections to have to be created for just one single student in this position, thus creating a large, unwieldy section master.
Could a TA button be added to scheduling so that any student enrolled in an existing section could be made a TA (shows on teacher roster as such and changes grading to P/F) by just clicking the button? We had this with a previous SIS that we used and…

Add option to use Processing List to turn off schedules in Family/Student Access.
In the Entity Configuration for Family/Student Access, you can turn schedules off for selected students. It would be helpful to be able to use a Processing List rather than selecting one-by-one.

Custom Forms option to post specific to Entity
It would be very helpful and improve efficiency if we could specify a custom form to show up in an individual entity, multiple entities, or the entire district. We have many CFs that are specific to the individual entity, and the list gets very long, and often repetitive when we have similar (but not identical) forms.

Email button from discipline tab
As a small elementary school, we contact parents pretty much any time a student visits regarding discipline. Some of our offenses could easily be communicated via email as a parent "heads up" rather than requiring a phone call. An email guardian button from the offense page would be great.
