Email Response for Parent Entered Requests
When parents enter an attendance request an email is sent to the attendance secretary notifying the secretary of the request. When the attendance secretary opens the Parent Entered Request to Approve/Deny the request she can enter a reply to the parent. We need the reply to send an email the parent. Currently it only appears in Family Access if the parent returns to the Attendance tab.

add more character to field format for Test scores
I am needing to change the field lengths for the test score areas: screen heading and report heading. Currently the fields are hard coded for specific length. I would like those to be longer - up to 20 (if possible).
There is insufficient room for us to put in the wording that we want to use.
We are getting phone calls from parents stating they don't understand what the headings are saying. Example: we are using %ile for percentile. We want to be able to type the whole word in the heading.I know there is several boxes to break…

Quick Score Feature open thru Grade Input End
Our teachers use the Quick Score Feature in their Gradebook. However once the grading period has closed that feature is no longer available. Teachers would like to be able to use the Quick Score Feature until the Grade Input End Date expires.

Standards Grading: Listing Events
Currently events are displayed by date. When you have multiple events and multiple skills the screen is hard to read.
We would like to see events grouped together with their skill and date. If nothing else an option to view it his way would be another option.22 votes -
Instructional Responsibility for PVAAS
The percentage of shared instruction will set to default to the value based on dividing 100 by the number of teachers flagged as having instructional responsibility for a course. Our district has followed an 80/20 responsibility for two co-teacher courses and 55/35/10 for three co-teacher courses in our six elementary buildings. There is no way to change the default and each individual student record will need to be changed for all teachers. This will be a very time consuming task and may attribute to more errors when uploading to PIMS thus creating incorrect records in the PVAAS system. Instructional responsibility…

School Health Record Report
Add health notes as well as office visit notes.
Our nurses have indicated that the School Health Report should also include notes. They are pleased that this report has been created but would also like notes to send as a student transfers to a new district. They strongly feel that the notes need to be included in a students medical record.52 votes -
Advanced Custom Forms-Add fields to Skyward's List
I am working on new Advanced Custom Form to be completed during online enrollment (NSOE). I would like to have 3 Skyward fields added to the list of Skyward fields available to select from while creating a student custom form. The fields are as follows:
1 - Student Physician's Primary Phone;
2 - Student Dentist's Primary Phone;
3 - Student's Allergies (as described by the parent in a multi-row text box)
Parents are providing this information as requested in NSOE "steps" and sigh when the same information is requested later in the Step 6 custom forms.
Please add the 3…

Ability to configure Hall Pass receipt info
Similar to the Tardy Pass it would be nice to alter wehat is included on the hall pass. We would like the alphakey and other id removed since this information is the basis of their network account. The hall pass as it is now can not be used. the ability to customize it same as tardy would solve this issue

allow term adjustments to be calculated into final
We often use grade adjustments within term grade posting based on attendance and other expectations. It is rare that our teachers use the weighted grade option as that is very difficult to have a balance of equal points between grading terms. As I understand that is the only option to have the grade adjustments be calculated into the FG. (By the way we have semester/term grading). If a teacher makes (ex) a grade increase because a student was close to an A- that positivity should be then reflected in the students final grade. That is not currently the case. A…

Allow Attendance Factor For Selected Entities
If you try to run this report from the district entity you can still only enter one Attendance Factor value. This value is then attached to each entity displayed on the report. That is obviously not correct. The current workaround is to run this report at each entity specifying a different Attendance Factor value each time. This is inefficient. It would be helpful if you were able to specify the Attendance Factor for each entity when running from the district level. This way you only need to run the report one time vs. eight times (in our case).

Exporting Duplicates
When creating exports for online curriculum it has become a problem in some cases where I am unable to automate exports due to duplicate student data being pulled. I am aware there are systems that my export can filter through to remove duplicates from my student exports to then be automatically imported into online curriculum. I am asking for Skyward to have this capability to do this.
I am asking for the capabilities to remove duplicate student data within the Skyward export itself.

Add Withdrawal date to Customize area on Stu Prof
Currently in the Customize area of the Student Profile you can opt to show the student's current enrollment date which displays only if the student is active. If the student is inactive the field shows as blank. It would be helpful if this field would switch to show the most recent withdrawal date if the student is inactive. This would be helpful to view when working in other screens to see when the student became inactive for the campus/district especially in regard to PEIMS coding. Currently you would have to open a new window to view the E/W screen or…

Add In/Out Times to Entry by Date Screen
Recently our staff have started to use the In/Out Minutes option for Attendance. They would love to be able to see that information on the Entry By Date screen without having to completely open up the student record. Is this something that can be added to that view?

Email teachers/staff about notifications
We have teachers/staff who don't notice the little yellow (!) notification/alert icon. We do know that they check their email on a regular basis.
Is there a way that emails can be sent notifying them of notifications/alert and inform them what the notification contains?
It doesn't have to be an immediate email but at most twice a day. Or set for customizable times of the day multiple times a day.
Just would like to get teachers and other staff to notice that they have a notification/alert.38 votes -
Simplify the process of combining gradebooks
Simplify the process of combining gradebooks when the course has both a primary and alternate teachers.
Currently we have to remove all of the alternate teachers merge the gradebook then add the alternates back then delete the primary teacher and add them back since the last teacher added is automatically set as the primary.40 votes -
Additional Bus Stops Needed
Currently the Bus Stop area in Busing can only hold 4 routes. We have some students with up to 6 routes. Our parents view busing in Family Access and aren't always getting all the information they need.
Please consider adding the capability to add up to 8 bus stops per student in the busing area.55 votes -
