  1. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. TEACHER SCORE CARD

    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

  8. Add- Sort by Counselor to transcripts and RC

    Since we can now designate the student's counselor and can print for a range of counselors for transcripts and report cards it would also be helpful if we could print all the transcripts sorted by counselor. Currently we have to print each counselors group of transcripts by range with means we run the print multiple times.

  9. Build table of CIDORs

    Currently the field for Campus ID of Residence is a free form text field. It would be beneficial to have a table created so that valid codes could be chosen from a drop down list.

    Negative impact would be entry of CIDOR that is out of designated boundaries higher possibility of data entry errors and more time consuming data entry on every entry.
    Having the valid codes provided will allow for less data entry fewer errors and cleaner data.

  10. Set Print Hard Copy to default to unchecked

    Would like to have the option to set "Print Hard Copy Reports to default to unchecked when we are processing NSOE. It currently comes over as checked and we have to uncheck it. We only send to a handful of parents who do not have an email address.

  11. Automated Email on Home Language

    This is the second Skyward School District that I have worked for that believes it would be amazing to have an auto email generate when a secretary is putting in a new student and the home language is marked something other than English. This piece of information is critical for timely screening purposes and many times the information is not communicated in a timely fashion to the appropriate people. I put this request in when I worked for Urbana and it was turned down but I am trying again. For school districts with large ESL populations this could be a…

  14. Hide Address 2 from Online Registration

    It would be helpful if we could hide address 2 from the online registration module. Currently, the only options we can hid are primary address and mailing address. Address 2 shows under the family address section in online registration and families are getting confused and entering grandparent addresses and second homes.

  16. Add asterisk next to Identity tab name to indicate student has had a name change entered, as is done under Special Programs

    To help quickly flag students who have had an alternate name entered on the Identify tab, could an asterisk be added to the left of the Identity label? This is currently done for Special Programs.

  17. Attachments in Online Registration

    2 suggestions for attachments in Online Registration:
    1. Allow for some attachments to be required and others to be optional
    2. Allow an attachment to be uploaded for a family so that it applies to all students in the family.

  18. Automated e-mail for addition or change of indicator

    It would be helpful to set up an automated e-mail that would be triggered when a student indicator is added or changed. For example, when a Parental Consent indicator is added or edited an e-mail would go to the teachers of the student and the administrators.

  19. Setting a time limit for teacher referral submission

    We need a way that we can limit how many days prior to discipline referral can get entered. We want to lime the teachers from entering a discipline record prior to 3 days. If today is the 15th, we do not want them to enter a record for the 10th.

  20. EA+ - Ability for teachers to search students by Other ID in gradebooks (My Students)

    EA+ - Teachers receive emails regarding students by using the other ID, instead of student names to keep things confidential.

    In all other areas of Skyward, the other ID can be used to look up students. Is it possible to have a search option or display the students other ID in EA+ Teacher Gradebooks > My Students that will allow this?
