  1. ADA/FTE report title and column headers

    We would like to have the ability to have the template title appear on each page of the ADA/FTE Report instead of just on the initial parameters page. Furthermore, we would like the Reporting Period: # parameter descriptor to appear under the Semester 1 or Semester 2 column header so that it is clear what reporting periods are included. Having just Semester 1 or 2 is very misleading for staff who only look at the district or campus pages. And example of the report is attached.

  2. Add a delete utility tool to delete orphaned courses and sections. This is available in Qmaltiv but is needed in SMS.

    Add a delete utility tool to delete orphaned courses and sections. This is available in Qmaltiv but is needed in SMS. We had a new staff member delete a course and because this utility tool is not available it continues to come up as a fatal for our Peims submissions.

  4. Auto Delete Birth Certificate Attachments

    As a part of WI Statewide General Records Retention, there are certain documents/attachments that we are not supposed to keep on file (like a birth certificate.)
    We would still want parents to upload their attachments to their NSOE, but would like the ability to decide if a certain attachment type like "Lease" could get saved to portfolio, while an attachment type of "Birth Certificate" would NOT get saved to portfolio.

  5. KS - When exporting students for KIDS collection, add button to select by Processing List.

    When submitting TEST records for ELL Kelpa testing, it would be handier, faster and less likely to skip or add wrong student if there is a Use Processing List button like so many other reports and processes. Right now, students can only be selected by grade level or individually. It takes a lot of time to enter 30+ records individually and they're not all in the same grade.

  6. Display all parent phone numbers on the Profile info page

    Currently the student profile info page only displays the primary 1st guardian phone number. You need to click on the parent/guardian name to view their second phone number. It would be helpful if the profile info page would show all the phone numbers for the parent/guardians.

  7. Space to add more than 5 locker combs

    Space to add more locker combs. We have locks for lockers that have 7-8 combs. Currently Skyward only allows 5 combs to be entered so we have to skip the combs that we can not enter into the system.

  8. (Texas) Add Course Service ID to Endorsement Progress Screen

    With the addition of needing to have the programs of study, endorsements, and IBCs align with the correct PEIMS codes, it would be very helpful to have the PEIMS codes for courses on the Endorsement progress page of skyward. With it just having the local course code, it requires that we go back into the transcript if there is a course that we are unsure of the PEIS code to make sure the alignment is correct. It would same an immense amount of time to have all the pertinent information on one page.

  9. Having the option when printing a student transcript to add any comments with the Award

    I spent a great deal of time putting all of the student activities into the system for each student over the years that they participated in. WIth that I also added the individual awards for that activity. Within the award template there is a comment section, which I used for various things like 1st Place, 2nd Place, Gold, Silver, Bronze etc. But after doing all of that I realized that it isnt't an option in printing a students transcript to include that comment anywhere. It should be listed as an option to print on the transcript. Please consider adding this…

  10. Enrollment Dashboard

    It would be great to have an enrollment dashboard screen that would show a grid of current enrollment by grade/gender. This would be helpful when needing some quick enrollment numbers, rather than needing to run a report or use Student Browse.

  11. Printing Reports includes Navigation Menu Paths

    It would be great if when reports print, the Navigation Menu Paths were printed at the top. That way, someone else would be able to find their way to run themselves.

  12. Latitude and Longitude

    Is there way to get latitude and longitude for student addresses? We are wanting to see re-zoning would affect the schools in our district. Using latitude and longitude would allow us to attach students to those addresses and look at the over all picture such as discipline, attendance, and etc.

  13. online form

    We have created an Online Form for parents to fill out requesting a school transfer.

    We have selected that Family 1 only have the option to update the form. When the Family 1 completes the online transfer request form, it sends an email to both guardians in Family 1.

    Is there a way also have an email sent out to Family 2 (additional families) when Family 1 submits the transfer request online form?

    When the custodial parents are not in the same Family, they would like the email go to both Family 1 and Family 2. It would also be…

  14. Bus drivers writing referrals

    We would like to enable bus drivers to write referrals within Skyward. However, we do not want them to have access to sensitive information, such as the Primary Guardian details or phone numbers. Currently, we cannot restrict this information from their view. We would like to propose an edit that allows us to customize the bus drivers' view accordingly.

  15. Discipline Reports for IEP Students Only

    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.

  17. MCCC drop after this date should be sent to MCCC

    I just found out that we are required to enter a date for when grades should be sent after a drop for MCCC. Since I have many course lengths for each school, it is very time-intensive to change these dates each year by hand. It would be very helpful to have a process with year-end to enter those dates like we do when entering calendar dates. Or a utility to mass assign that date for terms across calendars and entities like we do for attendance days/workshop days/vacation days. Something where it isn't an individual update.

  18. 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.

  19. Parent approval for student requested courses via Family Access

    When a student enters their course requests, to have it go to the parent in family access for approval, before it goes to the school. Instead of having to print the course request sheet and send home for signature, allow the parents to sign in and approve the course requests via Family Access.
