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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Message Center - Text Option
Teachers would like to be able to communicate via text. More and more parents prefer a text over an email (or a phone call). In addition to this, many parents do not use/access their email. Please consider adding the option to text in Message Center.

Health office
I think it would be great if the nurse or the health office aid added an office visit and selected "keep in office" that it would automatically show up in the student's attendance for that hour. That way the teacher could see it right away without having to ask the person in charge of attendance to do it or requiring a call to the teacher.

Create Permission Slips for Field Trips and Push Them Out to Family Access
Our district would appreciate the ability to create permission slips for field trips via the Field Trip Master and push them out to family access so parents can sign them electronically. Ideally, the fields permission slip returned and date returned could reflect what transpires in family access. If that is not attainable, a report which would pull this information for us would be an important addition.

Blended Families
Would like an option to have 50/50 families in Skyward instead of Family 1 and Family 2. When doing a mailing, sometimes you only want actual custodial families to get the info, so a Family 2 may not be appropriate. And then there are other times when you want a custodial parent to get the info, but if you are only mailing to family 1, that family won't get it. The family setup is not real conducive to the reality of family situations that we deal with.

Career Plan - Alert/Cancel when adding curriculum already in Career plan or earned for Student Access and Profile
Problem : Students in Student access, and Counselors in Student profile Career Plan, may sometimes attempt to add Curriculum that already exists in a current/future year of the plan or the student may have already completed that curriculum.
Looking for ideas and how we could provide a way to alert and/or cancel to not allow the student or counselor to add curriculum that already exists in a career plan. This would need to work in both Student/Family Access as well as Student Profile Career plans.

Message Center - Expiration Date Irrelevant Messages
Message Center - Expiration Date on Message - Some parents via Family Access have inquired if there was a way for the District to actually delete irrelevant messages that are being displayed via the message center in Family Access. We have advised parents that they are able HIDE messages that are no longer applicable but the question is if they can be deleted once their relevancy has expired? Users are able to RECALL expired messages and they then no longer appear in FA however it would be extremely helpful and convenient if users could at least have an "expiration date"…
