  1. Grades Tab/Family & Student Access - Consitent with Bolded / Not Bolded Grades

    It would just make things less confusing if the Grades Tab and Family/Student Access were consistent with posted/non-posted grades. Currently, in the grades tab, posted grades are not bold and non-posted grades are green and bold. In family & student access, posted grades are black and bold and non-posted grades are not bold.

  2. A "Received Note" button like the "Parent Notified" button in the Attendance Edit Screen.

    This would allow us to mark received excuse notes. Along with this be able to pull a report for those who have actually submitted an excuse note.

  3. LEP and 504 as Y/N fields in Profile like Sped

    General demographic reports are that people want are always the same. They want Gender, Race, Sped, English Learner, 504, etc. When trying to set up data mining reports there is an As Of field for English Learner and 504 to pull a yes no that is as of the day you run it. It would be nice to either have that field be variable so you can set this report up to be a scheduled task and it would always pull current information of whether the student is 504 or English Learner. OR add field on the profile tab that…

  4. ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations

    ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations.

    Please update the current ELL Score Import Utility to copy over previous year Accommodations and Support Delivery Model info. The accommodations are necessary information for Access for ELL setup in the DRC portal for WI State Testing and can be pulled into the DRC portal. Also the list of Accommodations in Skyward are not the same as in the DRC state testing portal. Can these be updated to match ?

  5. Check-In

    Please change the ranges available in all Student Check-In areas (Attendance, Clinic, Discipline & Guidance). It is currently wide open. Meaning, you can choose enter any student who has ever been enrolled in the district. I was able to check-in a student who graduated in 2008 and never attended that particular campus.

  6. More functionality for displaying different student name

    When in GradeBook allow the user to select if they want both the Identity(Legal) name and the Name, AKA field to appear on the screen and be able to do the same on the reports. Would like the Name, AKA to be in () after the Identity Name.

  7. Teacher Widgets for Long Term Substitutes

    Teacher Widgets option for Long Term Substitutes working on campus. Currently Skyward setup the teacher box must be checked on the staff record. Requesting that the widgets be available if the substitute box is checked instead since this is how they have to be reported on all PEIMS submissions.

  8. Create more time tracking features in Guidance

    Allow for entries not attached to a specific student. This would allow for large group guidance lessons or non-counseling activities to be tracked to help fulfil the Texas state requirement for counselors to track their time spent in counseling versus non-counseling tasks.

  9. Quicker way to tie a Curriculum Key to multiple Courses in multiple years

    It would be nice if there was a utility much like the "Mass Create Curriculum Master Records" but that would simply tie any course without a Curriculum number to the appropriate Course Key Number under the district-wide entity. Rather than going in line by line and entering missing data. This would be just to clean up what others have failed to either notice or enter when creating a new course. I feel this would save time while also helping to make sure data is as cleaned up as possible. Currently, the only solution to this issue is going in course…

  11. 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.

  13. It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile.

    It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile. Our district prints that info in case of an emergency.

  15. Add Classroom Referral field added to Skybuild so classsroom referrals can be removed from discipline referral exports.

    Discipline referrals that are actually classroom referrals are currently exported as actual discipline events because the field is not available to alienate the entries.

  16. Prevent Duplicate MARSS numbers in the system

    We would like skyward to block individuals from adding a student if the MARSS number is already assigned to someone in the system vs just sending a warning to not proceed. We have seen in increase in MARSS #'s duplicated on students. As well has duplicate profiles because this message is either being ignored or missed. This would be very helpful!

  18. Tardy Kiosk - print # of days tardy on ticket

    I see no option to print the number of DAYS tardy a student has. It appears to only allow number of periods tardy (can be multiple every day) or number of days absent. Or at least find a way to print the number of a specific attendance code entries per student.
