  1. Enable Future Schedules in EA+

    Students can see future schedules but teachers can't except via a printed report. Please give teachers the same future schedule view (for "next" year) in EA+.

  2. create grade buckets to import current grades into without posting

    Trying to provide local districts with daily grades for CTE students. We are able to export the current grades but are not able to import them into the local district without them posting to the transcript. Having grade buckets to import into that don't automatically appear on the transcript would be beneficial. Perhaps grade buckets that could be activated to post when needed but otherwise do not.

  3. autoemail building registrar when NSOE is approved for their building

    NSOE applications are approved by the Central office staff who then "forward" them on to the building registrars. Building registrars have no way of knowing that the NSOE approval has taken place or that it is being forwarded to them. It would be helpful if, upon approval, an auto email would generate letting the building registrar know that it has been approved and is available to them for completion.

  4. Add option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template

    It will be very helpful to have the option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” added to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template. We use the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility to mass populate the Industry Certifications/Digital Tools with an “F” Fail outcome using a processing list. The “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” option is already available in the Career/Tech Ed>Industry Certs when adding Digital Tool records manually for the elementary grades. The Digital Tools for elementary grades are reported under course 0000000 only, we are adding hundreds of Digital Tools…

  5. Students Current Scheduling - allow filtering of dropped courses

    Include a "dropped" field in the actual List View so that Dropped Courses can be Filtered out. Will make it much cleaner for counselors to view and at the same time easier to match with Student Fees. I realize they are color coded, but it still junks up the schedule.

  7. Automated Discipline Letters

    The option to have automated Discipline Letters much like the Attendance Letters would be helpful for parents and schools. The idea is that the letters would automatically generate discipline offense letters when a student accumulates 5, 10, 15, and 20 offenses or any combination set by the district that could be mailed and printed as well as posted in Family Access.

  8. 3 Year olds not in the PK Grad YEAR receiving Sped Services

    Year for 3K students who receive services through Marathon County Special Education. They have now taken over the Birth to 3 services for the County.
    As of now I put them in a PK grad year to upload WISE etc, then change back to a code I made (3K) This way I don't forget to do a status change for the following school year.

  9. Allow transfer of previous term grade from the Office to the Gradebook

    We would LOVE to have the ability to push a grade for a new student (or one with a schedule change) from the Office/Grading module to the new teacher's gradebook for previous terms. While we understand that a teachers should click the NEW button and use one of the 5 methods to get grades into previous buckets in their gradebook, getting teachers to do this (and do it correctly) is a huge headache for us. This would save a tremendous amount of time for teachers AND officer personnel. The teacher, of course, could later make adjustments if needed.

  11. Assign security access based off student type.

    Allow access to the student tab but only have access to SPED students. We do not want users to edit the student type under ranges. For example, SPED Guidance Counselor needs access to SPED students only, not all students.

  13. Multiple Pick Up/Drop Off BUSING Addresses Needed

    We have students in Skyward for busing with certain days of the week they would be picked up/dropped off at Mom's (Family 1) and then the other days picked up/dropped off at Dad's (Family 2). We can add more than one Bus Route but not more than one Bus Address - it would be awesome if we could add multiple addresses so as not to cause confusion on the parent view side.

  14. Include TSDS number in Student Lookup

    Include TSDS number in Student Lookup. The enrollment emails we receive from TSDS do not include the student's name. The only identifying information in the email is the TSDS number. It would be nice to look them up by TSDS number like we can the PEIMS ID.

  18. Can you increase the maximum display number on tables from 2000 to maybe 4000?

    It would be helpful when using student browse or using the discipline browse by officer. We can utilize data in the tables without running reports.
