  1. Mass Add Staff to an Entity

    Hello:

    Having a utility that will Mass Add and then Mass Delete staff to an entity would be extremely beneficial. For example our district has a separate entity for summer school (Entity 600) and each year we have different staff members that teach and participate in summer school and they need to be added to that entity. It would be extremely helpful if, each year we could mass add those individuals to the summer school entity and then at the completion of summer school mass delete them. Currently we have to individually add each staff member to the entity which…

  2. Web Login ability to Online Enrollment Users

    For NSOE, it would be helpful if an admin was able to Web Login to the Online Enrollment Users accounts so we can assist remotely with application issues.

    Currently, I cut and paste email and password info in to a new login in screen to log in as them to help them with steps in the process.

  3. Replace Gender with Gender Identity in the header area within Student Management

    In Student Management there is the ability for users to pick fields (customize) they want displayed on the header area. Please either add Gender Identity as an option or replace (preferred option) the current Gender field option with the Gender Identity field.

  4. Grade Level Visible When Posting Grades

    Our school posts grades for seniors days before posting for the rest of the school. While you can change the display options in the gradebook to see a student's grade level, once you go in to post grades, the grade level is no longer visible. It would be great if it would carry over so then teachers would know which students are seniors and who they have to post grades for.

  6. NSOE - Unsubmitted Application Report

    Hello:

    Our District would like to request an "Unsubmitted Application Report" in the NSOE module. This would be extremely helpful for when guardians start an application and "think" they have finished it but actually have not. We had a guardian who started an application in February but didn't complete some of the custom forms but still thought he had completed the application. He finally stopped in at the school in May to find out why the application was not approved when it was never submitted so we did not know about the enrollment. How can we create an "Unsubmitted Application…

  7. Single Sign On Mobile App

    Please allow a "Sign in with SSO" button on the Skyward Mobile Apps for Android and iOS, so districts with SSO configured can allow that type of security on mobile apps as well as the web.

    We are happy to announce that we are rewriting our mobile app to allow for single sign on support for SMS. The updated app is currently in beta testing and is expected to be delivered soon! We will post an other update here once it is released.

  8. Addition of identifying information for siblings

    It would be a great asset if the siblings that are listed in the family tab could be identified with grade level and entity. This has become a great need during the Covid-19 situation. When a student has been exposed, one entity has to reach out to the other schools to let them know the siblings may be required to quaratine as well. Nurses usually have access only to their specific students and can't see what entity the siblings are tied to in order to make contact.

  9. Add option to run Mass Change Lunch Codes by processing list

    Would like the option to mass change lunch codes by processing list. (WS\ST\PS\UT\LC)
    This would be very helpful for schools that are CEP/SSO and use a local socioeconomic form to determine economic disadvantage status. Processing list can be created from these forms to identify and code students that qualify as economic disadvantaged. These processing list could be used to mass change lunch codes.

  10. Other ID field on all reports

    It is frustrating and time consuming to run a report to compare data only to find that one report used alphakey and the other used Other ID. Other ID should be standard on every report run - many schools use this as their student ID and NOT the alphakey. Alphakey could also be standard, they could both the there; we use Other ID but bottom line, one field needs to be consistent across ALL Skyward reports so we can do data comparison more efficiently. I should not have to keep a data mining report strictly to convert alphakeys to other…

  11. Custom Forms

    Hello: When creating fields for custom forms, it would be extremely helpful if there could be a warning or a pop-up stating that the data you have entered for this field has exceeded the Max Allowed Characters so that it could be corrected right away. What happens is that we don't know that the Max Characters have been exceeded until the form is active in FA or SA and we get hundreds of phone calls telling us that they couldn't complete the form because Max Characters have been exceeded.

  12. A WAY TO CHECK FOR HOLES IN THE STANDARDS REPORT CARDS

    Can we look at finding a way to look for holes in the Standards Gradebook like we do with the Secondary Gradebook? We have both gradebooks in our district and we are closing out the end of the school year and I want to make sure that every student has a grade for each skill/subject. It may not help for this year, but next year would be great.

  13. Maintain File Date Stamp

    I would like to recommend a way to know when your maintain file was extracted last and who the user was. This assists in knowing where you are in the process when multiple people might be working the file as well as time/date stamp is also helpful to know for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the data.

  14. Create an import layout for the TSI Assessment

    I would like for there to be an import template created to import the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) Assessment. This test is being required for students to enter college and it would be helpful to have the results in Skyward to share through TREx and on transcripts.

  17. Add Additional Column to Course Master-Details View for Teacher Conferences

    Add an “Allow Teacher Conferences” column to the Course Master - Course Details view to avoid having to expand each course or run additional reports to see which courses are set to allow teacher conferences and which are not.

  18. Allow for sorting by other categories when posting daily attendance by name.

    Allow for sorting by other categories (such as student indicators) when posting daily attendance by name. This way, teachers that are conducting classes in-person and virtually at the same time can sort quickly.

  19. "Interpreter Needed" checkbox on Profile

    Checkbox for "Interpreter needed" on Profile Tab. We currently have a custom form to indicate when a student's family needs an interpreter for conferences. It would be extremely helpful to have an indicator in General Information that would be quickly accessible when phone communication is required.
