Automatic email to parents to clear unexcused absences
It would be extremely helpful to have an automatic email go out to parents if an absence has not been excused within a week of their absence. I understand there is an email option parents can sign up for in Family Access but many of our parents don't use this.

Future Course Selection Letter for Parents
It would be so nice to be able to print a Future Course Selection for each student to be mailed home to parents to confirm their student's course selections for the next school year.
I would love a format similar to report cards with the option of "Parent or Guardian" and address. Also, allow for printable comments. We'd love to be able to inform parents on this form that schedules are firm and cannot be changed after a certain deadline.7 votes -
Make it easier for existing FA users to register New students w/out duplicates
There needs to be a way to keep RETURNING students from submitting a NSOE application. I know that we can disable displaying the link to new enrollment on Family Access, but if you do that then existing users will have to request another acct to register a new student. Say a parent has 2 in school and now they will have a PK. Parent already has an account. If the register new student link is not visible in Family Access she will have to go to the district site and click on the new student enrollment...which defaults to register for…

Skyward field for "today's date" in custom form (auto populated for parent)
As we ask parents to fill out custom forms online, we ask that they "electronically sign and date" the form. We would like to be able to have the field for date auto populate the date they are signing so they don't have to type that date. When we print the form, it does show a date completed but parents do not see that date. We want them to see that they are signing and dating the form.

Summer School YE/YS Process
If a student is retained at their default entity, the Grad Prom field on the profile tab = "R". When you run the YE process it checks to see if the student has the "R" on the default entity and if it does it will not clear out that field if the student is enrolled in SS. We have many student attending SSHS and will be promoted after completion. However, they all are still retained because of this "coding" in YE. It would be a hugh time saver if there was a prompt in the SS entities to ask if…

Other name fields needs a greater reach
The other name field needs a greater reach. We have students who go by different names and the other name field only applies to the class roster report and the gradebook. Would love to see the other name field utilized in student/family access. food service POS. Fee management customer fields. etc

Send Auto Emails to ALL F1 P/G in NSOE
We feel that ALL Family 1 Parent/Guardians should receive ANY email that goes out from NSOE.
We discovered, by accident, that in NSOE, only the 1st Parent listed for the family will receive auto emails. This could be the email that is generated after they submit their application, or an email they might receive if an application is denied. If there is no email listed for the 1st Parent, they will not receive anything, EVEN IF there is an email listed for the 2nd Parent.
Skyward has indicated that this is "by design"; please vote to get this changed ASAP.…

Custom Forms - Skyward Fields
Working on an Emergency Card/Form for our buildings to send home. We need "Custodial" and "Pick Up Rights" added to the Skyward fields so we can pull what we have on file and send home to parents.

Future Scheduling for LEP & 504 attributes
When generating a scheduling run, you have the choice to balance by "attributes". The only attributes available currently are gender, race, and SPED. This is important because it looks at codes to avoid putting too many students with the same attribute in the same section. Could we add two more attributes of LEP and 504? I think that these special populations are just as critical to balancing as is the attribute of Special Education. Since 504 and LEP codes already exist in Skyward

Separate Student Families from the Student Information tab in Student Access
When in Student Access, we have had to shut off the Student Information tab where a student can see their Advisory Teacher, Counselor, and LOCKER NUMBER AND COMBO. They also can see their parent information and Emergency contacts. We feel the Parent Information should be on a separate tab in Student Access that can be toggled on or off by the district. The problem with having this information on the same screen as Locker Info and other pertinent information to the student is that since a student can see information on both Family 1 and Family 2, if a separated/divorced…

Birth Country needs to be a dropdown or list.
In Student Profile, Birth History, the Birth Coutnry needs to be a dropdown or list because the field as it stands allows for anything to be entered.
Example of what we see - US, USA, U.S., U.s.a., United States, u s a
This affects data in other programs. Could we tie it to the ED FI Country of Birth??20 votes -

WS\OF\AT\PS\UT\UY
The Update Attendance History YTD Totals utility (WS\OF\AT\PS\UT\UY) does not allow updating or cloning from year to year. You cannot update it for a new year or clone it.
This means the utility and scheduled task must be recreated every school year, for every entity. This is not practical, especially for large districts.9 votes -
Cloning Reports from entity to entity
We have many reports that we customize using User Defined fields. We're not just running reports with open ranges. It's very time consuming to create these specialized reports at all six entities. It would be nice if we could clone our reports from entity to entity. Thank you.

Texas - Industry Based Certifications (IBC) Module
On the course master add a field similar to the course groups (use the certifications table as the look up table – WS\ST\TB\SP\TB\PO) allowing us to associate certifications to the course. Would need to be school specific.
In the gradebook give teachers an option to add the certification, date, pass/fail. They would only be able to select from the certifications associated with the course they are currently in the gradebook. Data entry for the teachers would have to be simple and fast.
Display certifications to the student and parent in Family Access.
Populate the certification under the Special Programs tab…

We’re currently exploring potential solutions and identifying how we can simplify the entry of these records.

Automated Email for Staff Changes
We would like to have an automated e-mail generated when a staff member becomes inactive in an entity. An e-mail could then be generated to the Skyward admin who handles the User Accounts, prompting a change in their Active Secured User status to NO.

Teacher Tracking and Gradebook Usage
Gradebook monitoring is very limited. The only way to get information is to use filters when monitoring by Teacher/Class, or drill down in a chart. It would be helpful to have more reports or the ability to do something, like schedule a task and email results, with the information you pull from filters.
Example: Last time teachers entered grades or a learning event is vital information. I can only get that information by using a filter, but I can't do anything with it. I would have to manually run it, download, and email the results to administration.
Example: A list…

Add Dyslexia Service & Risk Field in Skybuild-Import
Can we import Dyslexia Service Record from outside of Skyward.
This is TX State Report Field and there is no way we can update this information. We have more than 2,000 students with this record and data is changed daily. We need something we can automate this process.
We are currently on Skyward SMS.
44 votesThank you so much for your votes on this idea and all the comments! We are having discussions regarding the ability to do this internally and with other vendors such as Frontline as mentioned in comments.
We will update this public status as soon as we have more to share.

Data Mining Sort Options
It would be very beneficial if we could sort by a field (homeroom, advisor etc) and select the option "print all data on one line" together. As of right now, if you chose to sort and have a page break by a field, you can not chose to have all the data on one line. The same is vise versa, if you chose to have all data on one line, you can not sort/page break by a field.
