  1. Discipline Letter Cloning

    Add an option to clone discipline letters like in attendance letters. We have different information of campuses that require a custom letter for each campus. It would be helpful to be able to clone and adjust instead of creating from scratch.

  4. staff import

    Staff import from HR as an option on the SIS db in the STAFF tab vs. the secured users tab. Currently the option to "Import HR data" into the SIS is just on the security access area. This feature would be an ideal option on the STAFF tab in the student db so campus staff get the correct first name/last name/required information then the security access could be set up afterwards. Having the option in reverse doesn't allow campus staff adding STAFF to import the correct and necessary information.

    Please add a IEP and 504 to the range options for running discpline reports. This will be useful for double checking state reporting (where only spec ed students are reported for certain actions) and other data analysis.

    Thank you.

  8. RFE for 'Guidance' Note/Visit Attachments

    The counselors love that they are able to add attachments here for others that have a 'need to know' could access. But this is NOT an option. The only way to see the attachment is if the other person has "edit' access and others should not be in edit mode under another individuals entry.

    Please make the Attachment in Guidance Visit visible to other if needed.

  9. Looking for an option in data mining to assist us with the legal first name vs the preferred name.

    I worked on a service call 5946641 for our district and Skyward was unable to come up with a solution that would identify a difference in these names quickly. This information is needed for our building staff. Our nurse recently complained that she was unable to find a student due to this issue and expressed that this could escalate an emergency situation. I would like a report I could give to key building staff such as our administrators, secretaries, nurse, etc to let them know who the students are that have preferred names vs legal names and what they are.

  11. Check Request Status Queue

    In the IN Ed-Fi Request Individual IDs from API tool, when choosing check request status, could that be changed to a queue of requests from the user? It is difficult to check the request when the only option is to put in the ID #.

  13. Creating a utility to mass remove student indicators

    Can a utility be created to mass remove student indicators? For example, we use the Dr. Note Required indicator when a student has reached so many absences. We then remove this indicator at the end of the year as students start fresh every school year. It would be helpful to be able to run a utility to remove them rather than go in and remove each one individually.

  15. Pop-up Window for required Doctor's Note while entering Attendance

    If a student is flagged "Required" Doctor's Note" it would be nice if there was a pop-up or some form of indicator that would not allow an excused attendance to be entered without that Required Doctor's Note either in an attachment form or even as fields that have to be entered. Such fields could be the date listed on the Doctor's Note along with the Doctor's name maybe even a free-form comment field in case anything needed to be entered in regards to said note.

    Also to go along with this feature it would be nice if a report could…

    The ability to in auto emails to send an auto email each time a SPED or 504 student receives a schedule change. This is important for coordinators to get accomidations to the new teacher when a schedule is changed during the middle of the school year and an email would better track those students.

  19. Edit Locker Numbers

    It would be nice to have the option to edit locker numbers. For example, the ability to re-number all lockers in the 6th Grade hallway to all begin with a "6". A utility to mass change would be very helpful in this instance.
