  2. A report for DOE attendance data - (in attendance, 1/2 day absent, excused/unexcused absent)

    We need a report (prefer one that dumps an Excel spreadsheet) that provides the DOE attendance calculation. It would be amazing if calculation results could be stored in a table, like the Year To Date attendance.

    Without it, it is difficult to verify that the DOE has the correct attendance data and it is difficult to identify students who are close to the 94% target.

  3. Mock Attachments & Manage Required Documents from NSOE to Family Access

    Currently, NSOE allows for viewing and checking off documentation uploaded through the portal. Family Access should reflect this same option, providing a link to view attachments from Online Registration and Online Forms, and provide a Manage Required Documents button to mock the same options setup for NSOE. This is imperative for districts tracking Proof of Residency, unless they want to use post-it notes or a spreadsheet outside of Skyward.

  4. District and School Accountable Dropdown

    It would greatly help if the District Accountable and School Accountable fields would be drop down/lookup fields similar to the Res Dist field. It is easy to mistype the codes.
    This is similar to this request.

  5. Special Education -Add an Event Auto Email for when an IEP or Eval is Unlocked

    It would be very helpful to have the option to add an Event Auto Email option for when an IEP or Evaluation is UNLOCKED. Currently, there is an option for when they are LOCKED but not for unlocking them. For districts that allow special ed staff the security to unlock them, it would be a great feature for a director, school psych, admin assistant, etc... to get a notification that someone has unlocked an IEP/Eval so they are aware and if needed, they can verify that there is justification for unlocking it.

  6. Links to use for importer to portfolio

    Please add the state ede number to the link to use for the portfolio importer. With all the different test report we send to parent if any available link to a student was offered we could import the files. Right now the ACCESS score reports only list the MARSS number (state number) so we cannot link them.

  7. Secured User History Report

    It would be helpful to have a secured user detailed history report. We have internal audits and at times are questioned by state auditors for this information. A report that can be ran by secured user and for a date range that displays detailed history accessed by that user or an option to select user defined fields of access.

  8. Processing List Clean Up

    It would be helpful to have a Utility to mass delete Processing Lists by date so that we can keep old processing lists cleaned up as much as possible without have to delete them one by one.

    Something much like the Data Mining Utility to keep them cleaned up

  9. Walk-In Scheduler during year to drop and add new schedule

    It would be helpful in team scheduling especially to be able to use the walk-in scheduler to drop a whole schedule and add it back into a new team without deleting the original class.

  10. Family Information for all guardians to be listed in the Educator Access Plus tab for teachers

    Currently in Educator Access Plus for Teachers, it only provides the phone number for the first guardian listed in the family as well as the emergency contacts on their screen. Teachers have to click on the name of the additional guardian in order to view their phone numbers. It would be convenient if all guardians and emergency contact phone numbers are all provided to be located at a glance.

    WS\OF\CS\SS\PS\UT\TR - Adding the ability to select the previous school year for this utility would be very helpful in instances when dates need to be changed after end of year processing has taken place.

  12. add Migrant questions to NSOE

    add Migratory Student Information collection to NSOE. DPI has a form for these families to fill out (and skyward has an import process to pull these families into Skyward from DPI). However, there is not a process to collect the information in NSOE. We are adding our own questions to NSOE based on the links below but to ensure enrollments are similar at other districts in Wisconsin could this be added by Skyward to NSOE?

    Requirement C.1. Identification of Migratory Children
    LEAs must have procedures in place to identify migratory students.

    Section 1111(b)(2)(B)(xi)(VI)

    This is required for all LEAs whether…

  13. Test Accommodations

    Users would LOVE to have the ability to add multiple accommodations to the test. Every accommodations needs to be added, then saved then "Add" again. Once they are on the Local Accommodation Maintenance page it would be great for the user to enter all ALL accommodations here and then just save once all are entered.

  14. Unrecorded Class Attendance Sort by Teacher Option

    Unrecorded Class Attendance can only be sorted by date. At the end of the year, in order to print a report by teacher (for principals), you must take it out to Excel and fill in every line with the date and day for every day in the school year. Otherwise, there is no option to sort by teacher. Either adding the option o sort by teacher or adding the date to every entry would resolve.

  15. A section to add records request sent and records received.

    A spot to add a date when a records request was sent and when records were received and a spot to date when student records were sent out to the newly attending school. Possibly under the entry/withdrawal tab.

  18. Customize Category Colors in gradebook

    Teachers using our secondary gradebook would like to be able to customize their category colors within their own gradebook. Currently, I can change the colors, but it would change them for the whole building and not everyone wants that. It would be useful if they could just do their own within their own gradebook.

  20. ON STUDENT SIDE - ABILITY TO ADD STAFF TO ENTITY AND SECURITY AT SAME TIME!!!

    When creating Staff at entity; have option to go directly to security area to add security for that staff person
    When creating a Staff member, a teacher for example, it would be nice to have a box to check to 'Add Security' and upon saving that set up, be taken directly to the Secured User area to that specific staff members account and add their security without having to move out of the Staff area and into the security area and then retype in the staff name and expand to add the security. This could go hand in hand with…
