  1. FBA/BIP State Templates

    It'd be extremely helpful for security if DPI's sample FBA and (mainly) BIP forms were created as templates in Skyward. We currently have them created as district forms, but in order to give staff access to the Behavior Intervention Plan, they'd get access to all district forms, which we can't do, so we end up having to print them and disperse, which also isn't great for security. Could be added as SpEd form templates or do a setup similar to IHPs so the security is separate even though it's an attachment.

  2. Import Schools where Transcript Sent

    Update skybuild imports to include schools where transcripts were sent information.

    Date Sent
    School Name

    We have high school campuses using other applications like Naviance and Career Cruising to send transcripts however we need to import the schools sent information back to Skyward transcripts tab for historical purposes.

  3. Add School Day in Two Places

    At menu path: WS\ST\TB\SC\CS\SI\ST, view all transaction, having the school day, the number of the day progressing through the school year, would be very helpful for certain departments and their meetings. This menu path is used by the guidance office and goes into an annual effort, by the teachers and guidance office, to track what percentage of the school year a teacher taught a student. These transactions look to be a snap shot in time and being able to see a school day number associated with the calendar day would greatly reduce manual efforts, increase accuracy, and automate several processes.

  4. Ability to view customer fees by grade - Browse screen filter options

    We are looking for the ability to view outstanding student fees by grade. With the view Fee Activity, we lose the grade.
    With customer details, we have the grade, but then do not have a fee balance that shows. We need this to capture our 5th and 8th graders before they move to a new building for end of year activities.

  5. PIMS student template: Special Ed Status N if IEP out of compliance

    The checkbox that allows expired IEP students to load to the special ed snapshot does not help the Student Template. If this functionality existed for the student template for students that do not have an active iep and cross-checked with an exit, it would eliminate a large amount of time deleting tons of students, especially when districts conduct ieps in the same month district-wide.

  6. Medicaid Area in Student Management/Student Profile

    We would like to see the Medicaid tab listed under Student Managment/Student/Student Profile/Health. Our nurses are in here adding medication and office visits more than they are in the Office/Health Records/Student Profile area.

  7. Processing List when Printing Indiana Statements

    When printing Indiana Statements it would be quite helpful to be able to use a Processing List instead of manually entering over 700 customer IDs.

  10. Split "Honor Entity Security For Grading" configuration into 2 separate configurations

    We'd like to have the "Honor Entity Security for Grading" configuration option split into 2 options. One would allow "forward viewing" of grades by entity (something we'd like to disable). The other option would allow "backward viewing" of grades by entity (something we'd like to continue to leave enabled).

  12. Email Failed Notification User Specific- Message Center

    It would be very helpful if users could receive a notification if their email failed to send. Or users could see the status (pending, sent, error) of their specific email being sent in Message Center. Currently, there is only a district wide configuration which will send an email notification when any email fails to send. It would be helpful if users could see when their specific email failed so they do not have to wait on sysadmin or question whether the email went out successfully.

  13. Open Attendance for Whole Class

    Teachers would like an "Overwrite All" button or for the "Overwrite" function to be eliminated from attendance taking so that they can simply open their Post Daily Attendance tab, open their class, take attendance, and save it without the added step of overwriting each student individually.

  15. Attach PIMS State Course codes to COURSES not CURRICULUM

    If the PIMS State Course codes were attached to the courses instead of to the curriculum master, it would be possible to create career plans that jive with the ACT 158 Pathways.

  16. Add non-cte industry credentials/work-based experiences to the transcript

    Currently, you can only add the Career/Tech Ed industry credentials and work-based credentials to the transcript. We are required, in PA, to add the non-cte industry credentials and work-based experiences to the transcript, especially since it directly affects the pathway to graduation.

  17. Email Notification when family cancels absences request in family access

    I have notifications enabled to notify our secretary when a family member creates an absence request via Skyward Family Access. This is working great. However, if that family member goes in an cancels the previously entered request that has not been approved yet is there a way our secretary can get an email notifiation of that? Also, would be nice for the parent to get an email of that cancellation as well.

  19. Additional Tab in Health Office Visit
