  1. Emergency contacts

    Have a box next to the contact name to insert words like call this parents first or look at the comment box. I don't always carrot down to see these messages before I start calling emergency contacts.

  2. Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose specific year to change current or future schedule viewing options

    Under Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose a specific year in order to change current or future schedule viewing options so that, for example, if we choose to 'hide teacher's name on class', for our students' future schedules, we can do so without affecting their current schedule.

  4. P-TECH Indicator in Skybuild

    The P-TECH indicator is a Texas field and we would like to see it available in Skybuild to include in data exports to third party software vendors.

  5. Allow Customizations to the student "mobile ID" within the Skyward app.

    It would be great if schools could customize the student “mobile ID” within the Skyward app. Some examples of customizations include adding the school logo and adjusting the fonts (making them larger).

    I would like to suggest that there be an addition of running Mass Generate Family Permissions/Passwords (WS\FA\FM\PS\UT\PP) by Processing List. Our school district turns off web access to families who have any type of residency exception each year until updated documentation has been turned in. Our current process is to manually call up each necessary student profile then navigate to the web access tab and then edit the family access to uncheck Allow Family Access. Then we reverse it once appropriate documents have been returned to us. We generate this list of students with these exceptions via a Data Mining…

  7. Allow Student Indicator for Threat Assessment on Offense or BTA in Special Programs

    It would be VERY great to have a Student Indicator available that is based on either the Discipline Offense record SSS Threat Assessment checkbox, or the Special Programs BTA record.
    Yes, there is a work around if you use the District Categories - BUT that requires more steps on already overworked staff and adds MORE chance of human error in data entry that may cascade into other areas.
    Please see attached document with screenshots.

  8. Exclude Zero Balance Due from Indiana Statements but Include Credit Balance statements

    When printing the Indiana Statements it would be helpful to exclude ONLY the truly Zero Balance Due statements. If I un-select the Option "Print statements with zero balance" it does eliminate those, but it also then does NOT print statements for accounts with a Credit Balance. If I run the report wide open, I get Credit Balance statements and a ton of Zero balances. Currently I'll have to run 2 sets of statements. 1. For just regular balances >= .01 2. For credit balances <= .01

  9. Giving more flexibility when selecting students in SIS Exports

    It would be very helpful if we could use processing lists in addition to the range and individual student choice in SIS exports. Many times I have to correct data for groups of students and this would speed that up.

    Select Family Member/Emerg Contact shows Family names and Emergency Contact names in alphabetic order. Unfortunately the nurse does not know which is which. Is there anyway to add a relationship column to this screen. This would help the correct person be contacted in a appropriate amount of time.

  11. Can we suggest having the option to add a directional field as a suffix for the addresses in Q? Our districts feel it is very important that

    We would like to propose the addition of a directional field as a suffix for the addresses in Q. It is crucial for users to have this suffix field since they need it to match the SIS with the E911 files provided by the counties. Without the directional suffix field, they are unable to achieve an accurate match.

  13. Comment section in nurse check in

    We are trying to improve the communication between teacher and nurse, especially with the littles at primary.
    When a teacher sends a student to the school nurse, they fill out a skyward form and it gives a very brief explanation of why i.e. "arm", "head", "leg", etc... Is there any way we could add a comment box to allow for more details to send to the nurse and maybe so the nurse may inform the teacher of further instructions?

  14. The login is already used

    Skyward is Assigning Other IDs already used by other students. Please fix this issue. This is probably due to students being merged and the ID becomes available, but then Skyward assigned the ID to a different student and we cant assign the ID and password to this new student. See error.

  15. Teacher Access - IEP Forms

    We created an IEP form that would be used as both a summary of a student intervention, as well as a tool for progress monitoring. The form is similar to the internal form that can be created in the RTI module of Skyward.

    The form can be created by the IEP case manager and tailored to the student's needs. It can also be viewed in educator access plus by the teachers; however, we are unable to give teachers editing access to this form so that they can easily put in data for progress monitoring. I inquired to see if this…

  16. Family custom forms

    Skyward gives us the access to create a Parent custom Form so Families can fill out just one form per family, but we are unable to print the form. It would be nice to be able to print the Parent Custom Form we create too.

  17. Skybuild/CTE Family Import

    Because CTE is growing by leaps and bounds, ISD's and RESD's have a need to import and overwrite much more student demographics information. In particular Family and Emergency Contact information.

    Currently, Family information imports that we use between district databases and our CTE database can only be imported once. After that, the settings to overwrite family information is not available in Skybuild Imports. This prevents us from providing critical Student and Family information updates between systems.

    For that matter limiting the districts ability to overwrite data using an import is a bit of an over reach.

    It is critical that…

  18. scheduling constraints - specific section

    I know that we have the option for scheduling constraints for a student and a specific class/teacher. It would be amazing if that could be expanded to specific sections or other students. We are having more personal conflict issues that we need to separate students in classes. Much of the information is private/legal and can't be shared so often, inadvertently, one of us in the department changes a schedule and the students end up in the same class. This has been causing some serious issues. Please consider this idea in both SMS and Q.
    Thank you,

  19. Ability to check all classes when adding an assignment

    For teachers with a lot of classes it would be helpful if there was an option to check All Classes when Adding an Assignment. If they class is grayed out do to it not matching with length or category the check all classes would skip them and only select matching classes.

    Ability to hide previous ended classes in Add Assignment with gradebook. With teachers that have a lot of classes such as semester, tri or quarter their can be a lot of classes that have ended on the Add Assignment screen and they have to scroll down to be able to view all classes and check the boxes for the current classes if they want to add an assignment to them as well.
