  1. Custody Calendar

    Blended 50/50 families should be attached to a custody calendar that follows according to the agreement and can be automated to switch Family 1 and 2, much like scheduling or scheduled tasks. The days that mom has the child-she's family 1. The days dad has the child, he's family 1. Busing, emergency contacts, and attendance (and possibly discipline) should be able to be tracked according to the custody calendar. This would provide valuable information for intermediaries to see where the student thrives.

  4. Add Option to Mass Change Display On Student Schedules in Mass Change Course Master Fields Utilty

    The option to mass change/update the display on student schedules checkbox under each meet would be a great option instead of having to go into each meet and uncheck this if we do not want to display the meet on student schedules.

  5. Secondary guardian for invoices/statement notices

    It is important that invoices/statements go to both the primary and secondary guardians. Currently this is not an option. Thank you for considering.

  6. Food Service Application Federal Wording

    Under Add a Food Service Application we would like the sentence that reads "I do not qualify for benefits or do not wish to complete an application" to be updated to read only "I do not qualify for benefits" and remove the wording that says "or do not wish to complete an application". We would like all families to complete the application if possible and not skip the step to help our school with funding.

  10. Utility to mass update grade card family to Family 1

    When we update / correct family and family connections, it sometimes makes the connection of the family to the old report cards invalid. If we had a mass update utility, we could run it to set report cards to Family 1, whichever is the current valid family.

  12. Change verbiage on the "Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab

    Under the"Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab, our Florida district would like the verbiage that appears when you click on the question mark to be changed for the "Public" check box to say :
    "The Public flag is normally used to exclude student information from being sent outside the district such as newspapers, Social Media, TV and other media."

  13. Add the WISEid field to Student Browse Views

    Could Skyward,
    1. Include the WISEid in ALL Student Browse/Views
    2. Include a “middle initial” field in ALL Student Browse/Views

    (For background, I asked both Skyward and DPI to confer and come up with a good way for us to compare data from Skyward Student Browse and WISEdash for Districts. It was discussed at their vendor meeting and the resolution was for me to submit a Product Idea, because a project could not be written for it.)

  14. SPO/SRO module

    I am reaching out on behalf of our School Police Officers. They were wondering if there is a module in Skyward in which our School Police Officers can document their interactions with students (similar to guidance notes) as well as documentation of charges that have been filed on students. They are looking for a module that they can use as a police reporting system to create templates for filing charges and such. If there isn't a module that is separate for this, where would you suggest that School Police Officers house this information in Skyward? Thank you!

  15. Add the graduated Y/N and Grad Date from profile as an object on student transcripts.

    Currently when we print a transcript for a senior that is credit deficient or a dropout, the graduation date is populated from the projected grad date object. This is then very misleading on these transcripts as the student has not graduated. It seems to make more sense to pull the grad date from the profile tab, that way students that are credit deficient or drop outs, would not populate a graduation date. Thank you for considering.

  16. Mass Export Report Cards with a Custom Filename Format

    In order to import or share student report cards into some of our other software, the vendors require the report card files to have the filename as either the student ID (Other ID) or student name (LastFirst), so it would be helpful to have these options when exporting from Skyward.

  17. Tardy Kiosk Configuration - "Calc minutes..."

    In the Tardy Kiosk Configuration, there is a section to "*Calc minutes late based on: Period Start Times, Class Start Times, Absent Start Times, Specific Start Time"; however, choosing one of those options doesn't record, or report that "calculated" time anywhere. I'm not sure the purpose of having those options there and it's caused confusion and inefficiency in trying to figure them out. Please remove them or, if they are intended for only a specific states use, please indicate that on the screen so we don't waste time looking at them.

  19. Tennessee needs a report to identify when a Primary teacher is changed so that Teacher history can be updated

    Tennessee needs a report to identify when a Primary teacher is changed so that Teacher history can be updated. This info is stored in the Meets history. How can we pull it nightly?

  20. Scan Mobile ID to Load Current Student Profile

    Program SMS so that a secretary can scan the students Mobile ID and have the corresponding Student Profile pop up on the secretary's Skyward. This would make the attendance office much more efficient when having to see so many kids face-to-face each day.
