  1. Teacher Acces to view Hearing and Vision Screening

    At this time Skyward does not allow for a classroom teacher to be able to view their classroom roster's student health screenings. (Yes they could see ALL students in their building if we add them as a Student Management Security Group; however our Superintendent and the Deputy want it to be limited to the teacher's roster only).

    Our School Nurses and Teachers hope Skyward will be able to be configured so the teacher can view this information at the teacher's view of the student profile from within Educator Access. They would like the same view as the parent has at…

  2. adding a blank or asterisks for default

    On student Profile when entering the student key social security number or other id if the student does not fall in the range would like it to default to a blank or asterisks screen instead of first student in alpha.
    this hopefully will stop mis-entering information under a students record that should not be updated.

  4. Add Variable Date option on attendance reports

    The goal of this update would allow campuses to set these reports as scheduled tasks therefore saving time so that personal can concentrate on other attendance This would allow attendance clerks to concentrate more on other aspects of attendance instead of running these reports and providing them to individual teachers each week.

  5. Data Mining Reports posting to Family Access

    Security setting in Data Mining reports posting to Family Access. We are requesting a warning and confirmation page when someone runs a data mining report that will get posted to Family Access. Currently if someone is not sure what they are doing they can post information to Family Access without realizing it. This can be done either by them marking Family Access in a data mining report they built or simply by running someone elses data mining report (to see what it is pulling) and not realizing the report is set to print on family access. It would be nice…

  6. Special Programs- Reports/Transactions

    1. Have all special programs (including but not limited to: foster care homeless immigrant military connected PK PRS LEP and Title I--- Sped At Risk and 504 are already listed there) listed under the Student Services Tab. This would give the ability to view the students in a browse list who have the coding.
    2. Need the ability to view and report on all coding /history and change logs for those special programs.
    3. Need the ability to run special program reports from the Student Services tab instead of relying on data mining.

  7. Ranges for Student Entry Resubmission

    From the Student Check-In screen under Office Visits users are currently able to look up students that are Inactive. When in a specific entity users are also able to look up a student that has never been enrolled in that entity. This can cause issues for a district if the student keys in the wrong number.

  8. Customer Meal Statement Deposits Posted First

    On the Customer Meal Statement report I am requesting that all deposits are reflected first and then the purchases for each day. When viewing a Customer Meal Statement customers look like they are in the negative more often than they actually are because the programming currently has all the purchases for the day posted first before the payments for the day are posted. This makes it hard to do a quick analysis of a customer to see how frequently they are actually in the negative. If the payments were posted first and then the purchases the running balance would reflect…

  10. Add Edit Scores Option to Test Scores Tab

    Attached is a small tutorial with screen shots outlining an option I'd like to see added to the Test Scores tab. If you work with test scores you know that the import option is best. However if you're using demographic information to load or if you have a number of kids that cannot be imported you have to find some sort of assembly line method to make it work to be efficient. The process isn't bad however one simple button added to each of two screens can make this process SO much easier for those of us needing to input…

  11. Save Descipline letters to Student records

    Currently Discipline Letters cannot be saved to the student record. Attendance Letters are but not Discipline Letters. We would like to be able to save these letters to the Student record in Skyward.

    Add the capability to save Discipline letters to the student record as Attendance Letters are. Provide a Letters button in the Student Profile Discipline tab to allow users to view any Discipline Letters sent.

    We are trying to implement the teacher score card and have gotten feed back from Administrators that the words scorecard is like we are scoring them on something. Its seems harsh to some. We are requesting that a name change be like "Classroom Statistics" or something like Grade book Statistics

  13. Add Ability to Select Multiple Individual Students

    It would be helpful to have the ability to select multiple individual students on the PIMS Extract screen just like you can do for other reports. Right now I can enter a Student Key range ultimately allowing me to run a PIMS extract for one kid at a time. However I'm thinking it'd be helpful to be able to select Range or Individual. If you check Individual you could then add one name key at a time to a selected names list. That way if there are 5 kids I know I must run an extract for I can add…

  16. Custom forms /Advanced custom to family access

    The goal for this enhancement is to be able to have the option to post advanced and custom forms to family access. Not all custom forms should post to family access only ones specified.

    A negative impact of not having this enhancement is having to printing these reports for parents when they would be able to view this information online.

    Having this information in a working advanced custom form within Skyward is already a goal that has been accomplished. Having this report become a custom form viewable within family access would open the doors for other information that could be…

  17. Enable Families to enter vaccination information

    To reduce data entry and enable more electronic processing please create a way for families to enter new vaccination information - either as an option in Online Registration or as an item in Family Access similar to what is available in NSOE.
    Similar to NSOE families can enter their student's vaccination records instead of having nursing staff enter all. This is a nice feature in NSOE but not all vaccinations are done at the time of the NSOE entry and there is no way for parents to go back in and add them later OR add future required vaccinations.

  18. Teacher lunch and preps on schedule

    Enable a course to be indicated that it is for a teacher schedule
    . On a course have in the drop down 'category' have Teacher Schedule. When you would select this you could have meets and assign teachers but not assign students. This would then enable the class to print on the teacher schedule.

  19. Add Grade Year to the Range in Custom Forms NSOE

    We use a lot of custom forms and you can choose which forms a student fills out based on their grade. We as asking that you also add grad year as a range to define who can see the forms. When my 4K students are enrolling for next year their grade will be PK/EC and that is the same for all grade years after the current 4K so it does not show the forms correctly when a student is enrolling.

  20. Online Conferences

    It would be very helpful to have the ability for the parent/guardian to request an interpreter in online conference scheduling. Something we can pull in either data mining or (preferably) an indicator in conference reports. Without this we are using a lot of man hours compiling this information.
    A box for parent/guardian to check stating they require an interpreter for parent/teacher conferences. When selected this would show up as an indicator on conference reports.
