Email all teachers at one time for Family Access
Add an option to "Email Teachers" button to Family Access similar to the one that is in the Student Profile area. It would be easy for a parent to email all the teachers as a group rather than one at a time. Skyward stated this is not available but thinks a RFE would be a good idea.
Ease of use for Family Access guest to communicate in numerous situation with all scheduled teachers at one time. Example: notification of issues with: health situations at home request for homework update on child etc.96 votesThere is an option in the Family Access Entity Configuration area to “allow guardians to send message center messages”. If enabled, guardians can post messages to all teachers via the Wall/Home.
If this solution will satisfy the customer need – we will void/remove this idea from the Product Ideas Portal.

online registration and parent order
At this time only the 1st parent in the 1st family can do all of the updates. We normally put the dad in first and the mom in second but then mom who does all of the registration does not have access to all of the updates. I guarantee if we flip it to always mom we will have a dad that does all of the updates. because of this we spend a lot of time in the summer popping in to a family and changing the order if they bother to call us. I would prefer that both parents…

student access/student infor shows both families
A student can see information on both family 1 and family two on student access/student info. this is a problem! If a parent uses the student's login they will be able to see both family 1 and family 2's address phone and email. this is a major problem due to data privacy. we have turned ours off. we would like to move the family information to another tab so we can leave access to the student information and what is located there and turn off access to family information.

Mobile App Configuration
Requesting that the mobile app follow the entity configuration for Family Access.
We configured the Entity Configuration for Family Access not to show Homeroom and advisers as we did not want parents to be able to see these until a specific date. However the parents were able to go onto the Mobile app and see them in Student Information by clicking on the "I" button. Advisor and Homeroom are both listed. This defeated our purpose of wanting the parents to do the current student registration and then allowing them to see the schedules etc.
The expected outcome is for Skyward…72 votes -
Need a way to send email reminders to parents who have incompleted returning student registrations
It is impossible to get an accurate list in data mining of parents with incomplete returning student registration (believe me, we've tried - verification status is not an accurate indicator and includes parents who are new to the district who are complete because they have completed new student enrollment). However, we need to periodically email our parents who have incomplete online returning student registration and have no reliable way to do so. We need either an accurate data mining indicator of who is required to complete online registration and has not done so, or a new automated email reminder that…

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.57 votesThank you for the suggestion! We will be reviewing this request in more depth, including the input from the development team.

Family Access User Portal Available from District
Please make the Family Access User Portal available to select when in the District Entity. So many times as a district user I have to view Family Access users. I have to switch to any entity (even if it is not the one the parent is associated with) and then I can search for the Family Access User. It would make like so much easier if it was viewable through the district. Saving as a favorite does not work as soon as you click on the district entity that favorite is removed from the list.

Lunch Calendar characters
Currently we want to move to using the Lunch menu in Skyward but cannot because the calendar view does not support enough characters for us display the entire lunch so it can be viewed with clicking on it and printed
Add more characters to the lunch calendar in the web access for Parents to view the menu. Make the menu printable so parents can view the lunches for the entire month.54 votes -
SAML Relying Party Configuration
I am requesting that Skyward configure SAML for Districts that have an IDP. Minnetonka has it's own IDP - we use Identity Automation. I'd like to be able to use our SSO service to log all users into Skyward by way of a SAML integration with Skyward.
I am willing to help do the testing to get this up and running. I know there are other users that use Identity Automation for an IDP and could also benefit from this type of configuration.52 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

Family Access display option
In Family Access it would very beneficial for our parents/guardians have a setting that allows them to display just active and/or non graduated students. We have had requests from parents/guardians to remove foreign exchange students from their access to remove graduated students foster children etc. We know that there is a setting to only display active students however that is a district-wide setting. A setting within Family Access so that they can choose themselves would be great.

Add Option for Custom Forms in Family Access
Family Access needs a Custom Forms option. More and more districts utilize custom forms to store information create Online Forms and use forms during registration and new enrollment. Once submitted or completed parents don't get to see that information. An option should be created so that a secure option can show the form in Family Access under a Custom Forms tab which should also include a Configuration option to rename the tab if the district prefers to call it something other than 'Custom Forms.' So in essence there's need to be a security group because a lot of districts will…

Obligations Visible in Family Access
Need parents to be able to see obligations in FA so that it can't be said that they didn't know or weren't informed.
Without parent being able to see them campus must send out constant reminders. Being able to tell parents that their obligations are always accessible would assist campuses in communicating to parents.37 votes -
Add option to use Processing List to turn off schedules in Family/Student Access.
In the Entity Configuration for Family/Student Access, you can turn schedules off for selected students. It would be helpful to be able to use a Processing List rather than selecting one-by-one.

Custom Tabs in Family & Student Access
We would like the ability to create custom tabs in Family & Student access. We have other content pages that would be awesome if we could integrate them into FA to make it a one stop shop.
Would like to have the option to name the tab. For the content would like to have the option to insert formatted text and HTML including iFrames with the student ID appended to the end of the URL. Would also like it to be LTI compliant.29 votes -
message center
Message Center Alerts
When a family posts a message to a teacher(s), alert the teacher via email. Or have the option to email the teacher directly through Family Access. Teachers are missing messages from the message center because they are not aware a parent sent them.

Change the 'Add a Fee' text
We would like to change the 'Add a Fee' tab to something like 'Optional Fees' or 'Manage Optional Fees' for parents to know where they have to go to add optional fee.
'Add a Fee' does not identify clearly enough that parents need to click to add/remove fees. Specially does not say anything 'Delete' the fees. This is very confusing so we are having a hard time to guide parents to pay fees. This small change will make huge difference to all districts with fees management modules because parents will fine the tab to add/delete easily to manage any type…

Add Attachment Feature
Is it possible to add a feature that will allow for parents to submit attachments such as JPG PNG PDF when requesting attendance requests (excuses)?
This feature will give parents the ability to upload any additional excuse documentation for the student (medical excuse personal excuse etc.). It will also provide the district with documentation provided by the parent that can be used in audit situations.26 votes -
Custom Form View on Family Access Read Only
It would be very helpful if we could make Custom Forms view-able to parents on Family Access. We have a Behavioral Standards custom form that is completed by several teachers. We would like parents to be able to view the form on Family Access instead of printing them all out and sending them home. Report Cards are available to our parents in the Portfolio tab and we would love to see the option to add Custom Forms there as well.

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
