  1. EA+ Portfolio access

    It would be great if we could limit which portfolio attachment types are visible in Teacher access. Right now it is all or none.

    For students and families, we can pick and choose which ones show to parents or students by attachment type.

    It would be helpful to be able to do this setup by building as well. Thanks, Lisa

  3. Request Changes for Student/Family Information on Mobile App

    We live in a "Mobile" world...
    Parents are able to request changes to student, family address, family information, emergency contacts, etc. on their web-based Family Access account. Many of our families do not have a computer and use the Skyward mobile app to see their student's information. We would like for parents to have the option to request changes to information from the mobile app.

  4. User Defined Online Enrollment Report

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to pull the family contact email address as one of the fields to Select to print in the User Defined Online Enrollment Report. Right now I can only pull family address and phone and majority of our communications are sent via email address.

  6. Develop Skyward to have the same communication capability with parents that Remind has.

    Teachers need to communicate with parents and have to copy Skyward demo data into Remind. Could Skyward develop the same type of communication tool for teachers?

  7. Utility to mass delete alternates

    When we decide not to run a course it is easy to mass delete requests. It would be amazing to have that option so the course isn't still sitting in their alternates.

  8. Add Homeroom Code and Homeroom Teacher to custom forms

    Please consider adding Homeroom Code and Homeroom Teacher to the Skyward Fields available to pull onto the Custom Forms. A lot of times when we are setting up the Custom forms for parents to complete at the beginning of the year the forms that we want them to fill out require the homeroom field. At the high school and middle school level the students and parents don't always know who that is until the first day of school. We ask parents to complete these forms over summer. We would like the ability to pull that field from Skyward so it's…

  9. Add CTE Certifications to transcript.

    I currently use custom transcripts and I recently saw on a new student's transcript from a previous school a box where CTE Certifications could be listed. Since the state of Kansas recently added this to the student data they collect and this is a separate tab for a student is there a way this can be added to our transcripts? Maybe an element similar to the test box that can be selected so ACT or PSAT scores can be added. I have these already on my transcript.

  10. Using Tardy Kiosk for In/Out Tracking or Students

    Would like to be able to set 2 different codes on 2 different Tardy Kiosk machines to be able to track the in/out of students in a school day. Would then like to be able to run a report to automatically change codes to PIMS reporting codes at day end. Currently with only 1 code allowed we cannot determine who is coming into the building or who is leaving. This information is essential for attendance processing. At this time can only code 1 code on tardy kiosk even though 2 machines are being used. Need the ability to code 2…

  11. Add Transcript As Option for Student Family Access

    The goal is to provide students with quick access to information regarding when and where transcripts have been sent. The intention of this RFE is to free the school counselors of the majority of student requests for this information and to provide the requested information to students as soon as the information is entered into Skyward. The negative impact is students making multiple trips to the counselors' offices to check on the status of their transcript requests. Add transcript as an entity configuration option for students and family.

  12. End date for all programs

    When a student is withdrawn from the school/district it would be great if that date would automatically be the end date for all programs the student is in--GT, ESL, Special Ed, etc.

  13. Add 'In Time' to Entry by Date Screen

    We use the Entry by Date screen to monitor our attendance throughout the day. We also use the Tardy Kiosk. We are constantly opening student entries (Edit) to view their In Time. Adding the In Time would really improve efficiency of this browse.

  15. Indiana-Graduation Requirements

    Indiana's honors diplomas require that the student's have a "C-" or better in their requirement areas. It would be extremely helpful if the graduation requirements could be setup to filter out classes marked with a "D" or below. Currently we have to monitor this by hand, which defeats the whole purpose of having the electronic graduation requirements for these students. In addition, it makes the process confusing for the students because it is counting the class when they view their graduation requirements, but then we are telling them it technically does not count because they earned a "D" or below.

  16. 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.

    Both parents in a Family (not just the one listed first) should have the ability to change the "Low Grade" for the "Receive Grade Emails for my students". The second parent is able to make changes to attendance notifications progress reports and the food service balance.

  18. Remove VocEd Contact Hour on Transcript

    Voc Ed Contact Hours are based on the service ID supplied by the state and coded in the Texas State Specific section in the course/course master. Due to certification and other restrictions we have some CATE courses that we are unable to get contact hours funding for. Many of these courses are taught online and the credit is directly added to the student's transcript. Rather than have to create new course keys for these online CATE courses can the option to "Exclude Voc Ed Contact Hours" be built into Override Course Information in the Add on the grade tab.

  20. STAAR EOC Performance Level I needed on STAAR EOC

    In order to track which students have taken an exam and failed we need to be able to see Level I performance on a required EOC exam not just Level II and III.
    Standards change depending on whether a student is testing for the first time or repeating an exam already failed.
