Add an Evaluation Due field
The "case due" field tells staff the date an eval expires - three years from the completion date of the previous evaluation. Staff need an "evaluation due" for new evaluations that take place before the 3 year expiration date so they know when the 60 day period mandated for evaluations to be completed is up. For instance a student had an eval on 3/24/15 so the case due field is auto-filled with 3/24/18. However parents/staff have requested a new evaluation on 12/16/16 so staff need to know when 60 days from this new date is so they can have the…

add Dr. Note Required student indicator
We use wanding to check in students arriving late to school. They enter their ID# on the keypad and then the security personnel check them in. The issue we have is that if a student is required to have a Dr. Note in order to enter school the student indicator for that is not visible on the wanding screen that the security folks see.
Please add the ability to view the student indicators on the wanding screen.26 votes -
Master Absence Report Include Student Status
It would be very helpful if the Master Absence Report included the ability to exclude Inactive Students. Our HS Principal uses this report and since she uses a range the results include both active and inactive students.

Add Ability for Kiosk to Fill Missed Att. Periods
The intention of this request is to streamline the attendance entry process by enhancing the system to fill in attendance periods missed automatically. The goal is to enhance data quality and employee efficiency. The negative impact would be not utilizing the product or increased employee efforts to ensure data quality if component is used.
Ideally setup would be available for system to automatically fill in attendance periods missed prior to arrival or after student signs out. We would like for this component to be used for early dismissals and late arrivals.56 votes -
Change where transcripts sent to a free form text
To make the work easier for our school registrars. This transcript sent option is used anytime the transcript is sent even to another high school and not just colleges. So instead of the registrar searching for the school and/or creating a new code they could just type in where the transcript was sent
What we would want is to replace the school codes box and just make that a 40 (or whatever amount) character comment field with the date stamp still attached.48 votes -
Importing of Health Information
The ability to import Health information that are entered on Registration forms in InfoSnap to Skyward. Alerts and critical alerts denoted by parents. This would save time of having to re-enter things into Skyward that parents have entered in InfoSnap regarding Health related issues. Also if eliminate the need of campus personnel having to look at both systems. Alerts are critical and need to be VERY visible to staff at a moments notice.
The flexibility to import and export more student related data between Skyward and other software.57 votes -
Military family flag/pseudo change in FA
When adding new students and on the general profile page there is a newer field for yes/no/not applicable for military families. We do track this info on new students but would like that info on all students. We would like to have this flag added to the pseudo change screen set up in family access so families can update this info on their own. These is a military field listed but that is for mailing to the military not if they are a military family. I've attached a screen shot of similar field setups.

Please Secure Staff Confidential Data
I'm requesting that the data in WS\SF\SF be secured with more options of specific info to secure/provide access to as opposed to the current option of allowing access to all staff data or no staff data. We are using the parent conference scheduler feature this year and in order for our office personnel to be able to schedule conferences when parents call or stop in we need to allow the office personnel access to staff data. Currently when a person is given access to staff data this includes access to social security numbers birthdates and phone numbers. Office personnel do…

As needed medications
Want the option to select scheduled medications or as needed medications in the quick entry portion. Right now there is only the ability to give scheduled medications through this route but would like a filter to be able to select PRN meds as well. Currently having to enter each student's name and administer PRN's that way.

Clone button for Evaluations
While there's a clone button for IEP forms there is NONE for evaluation forms. It will make their life easier if there could be a clone button for evaluation forms too.

RFE for Guidance Note/Visit Attachement
We have had several requests for the ability to attach documents to a guidance note/visit just as can be done with other notes in the student profile. Currently there is no Attach button when adding a guidance note/visit. We don't even see a selection for Guidance in the drop-down list for All Notes. We think this would be a great addition to the program. having it all under the guidance tab would be ideal but at this point just having a place to attach a document would be great.

Watchlist risk levels and values in data mining
Currently it does not appear that the watch list risk levels are available for data mining. By not having this it makes it harder to select custom data based on high or medium risk students compared to low risk students. In addition the value that appears on the WS\SS\RI\WL screen to indicate the watch list risk values are not exposed to data mining.
We should be able to include the risk level as well as the value that is stored. This will allow easy reporting of custom data for students with various risk levels. In addition we should be able…23 votes -
Date Range needed
I need to be able to look at enrollment for several date ranges not just a snap shot day. This is causing hours of compiling data to find this information
Please adjust the date to include high and low.17 votes -
Hide "Absent" column in Family/Student Access
Our middle school mentioned that atudents are sometimes confused by the "Absent" column in the student gradebook display (picture below) within the "Gradebook" screen of Student Access. This screen appears when the student clicks on a class grade. When the "Absent" column shows a student as "Excused" some students interpret this to mean the assignment is also excused. Teachers are marking it as missing however the display seems to be causing an issue. It would be nice to be able to hide this column from displaying. Provide in the Student Access Entity Configuration screen the ability to suppress the "Absent"…

Provide Skylert portal for staff and students
We have staff members wishing to update their contact information in Skylert but are unable to do so. There should be a way for staff members to have access to a Skylert tab similar to what guardians are able to do now and be able to update their phone numbers and alerting categories all in one place.
Students should also have this features. With the mass increase in student cell phone and the increased need to provide rapid communication to everyone we would like to be able to contact students via Skylert so we would like the students to be…34 votes -
Fee Management enhancement(?)
My understanding is that this is because we bill by family and not student. We prefer to have parents pay activity fees via eFunds. If a parent pays 3 seasons of sports fees via eFunds prior to assigning the fees in FM eFunds then automatically assigns and pays the fee and then at a later time when we run the mass assign fee Utility the paid fees aren't recognized another (duplicate) fee is created and they now have unpaid fees. Using that same scenario and having the parents pay the fee with check or cash assign the fee manually and…

Add the ability to add FAMILY attachments
Add the ability to add attachments that are accessible to multiple students in the same family. Especially helpful for Online Enrollment but valuable to all districts even if they don't use NSOE.
So we don't have to go in and attach the same document individually to EACH student. ( gets time consuming with family's who have many children). AND it would be a place that could be looked at and know that the WHOLE family had the same information ( like proof of residency court docs for all the children etc.)
Time saver for both families and staff to view…57 votes -
BRAEKDOWN BY ETHNICITY
The ability to look at ada by both race and ethnicity and 2 or more races. It is difficult to see what demographic needs to be looked at to help boost ada.
Ability to look at ada by hispanic different races and two or more races similar to the special programs enrollment count report but getting the ada in those break-downs.12 votes -
Editing alternate teacher transaction dates.
To improve the accuracy of PIMS StudentStaffSubtest template I would like to see your software allow for editing the teacher effective date ranges for alternate teachers. As it is now when adding an alternate meet to the course master the effective date defaults to the beginning of the school year. Unlike the primary meeet pattern alternate meets should not be required to have a teacher represented for an entire school year.
In talking this through with the Skyward Help Desk a proposed workaround is to create an alternate meet with no teacher name listed and with the instructional…22 votes -
Teacher Conference Scheduler - Parent Improvements
Parents are very frustrated with scheduling conferences when they have multiple teachers for one student (for example High School Parents). There is not a way to see all slots available so they are jumping back and forth between teachers; scheduling unscheduling and rescheduling to fit the slots close to each other
