Add Internal ID to a student search or student browse area
The Internal ID is automatically shared to School Messenger, OneRoster and other vendors that we auto roster to. It would be very helpful, especially when troubleshooting issues, to have a way to look up a student by the Internal ID. This could be accomplished by adding it to the list of options on the Student Lookup search page or by adding it as a column on one of the student browse views.

The length of the student middle name field needs to be bigger
We have students with two or more middle names and/or two or more last names. The DOE wants their middle name reported as it appears on the birth certificate (last name, and first name as well) I have a student now who will always fail my STN report because his middle name won't fit. Can we add a character or two to the length of that field?

Report for grades not transferred in by teachers
Due to Covid-19 and the massive amount of students changing their courses due to changes in enrollment from brick-and-mortar to virtual and then back. We are unable to keep up with monitoring the teachers transferring grades into the new course without a report to aid the Administrators that flags the teachers who are not transferring grades. This is resulting in massive amounts of grade changes and corrections and reprinting of report cards. This issue is based on the process that Skyward has put in place to have teachers manually transfer grades for students to calculate Final and Semester. With this…

Allow Method of Instruction as a sort running Student Schedules
It would be great to have the Method of Instruction option when running student schedules to allow printing of only in-person learners. We are having our in-person learners coming into the building on Dec.

Teacher - Mass Enter Attendance - Virtual Present
Indiana teachers who teach students virtually must now enter Virtual Present each day for each student. Since Skyward is hard coded to mark students Present, it will lead to a great deal of inaccurate data.
We can now add additional columns for teachers on their attendance page.
It would be great if teachers could click on the Virtual Present header to have it auto fill Virtual Present for all students.
To add some complexity, we also are currently in Stage 4. This means 1/2 of the students are virtual Mon and Tue, the other 1/2 are virtual Thu and Fri…10 votesThank you for the feedback! With the release of June Addendum 9 (10/1/2020), PR 4495470 has added a Select All option within the header of each attendance option/column setup for teacher use on the Attendance by Name screen. With this, teachers can click on the link to mass apply the appropriate option to all students, make any minor modifications as needed, and save their class attendance.
In addition, PR 4506708 was completed in Addendum 9 to make the MOI column sortable. In the event you have Method of Instruction records set to differentiate these students, teachers can sort these students together.
I hope these new options assist teachers in their daily attendance entry, but please let us know any other feedback on the topic. Thank you!

Add Processing List to Period Detail and Summary Attendence Reports and 'Today's Date' for scheduling the report
Teachers are now able to go back and edit attendance if students submitted work by 11:59 pm in all of Texas. There is no report that can be run that allows the user to default to "today's date" and allows a Processing list to be used. We need to add the Processing List feature to the "Period Detail" attendance report or the ability to add "today's date" as a setting for the "Attendance Detail or Summary" report. This is the only way we can set up absent reports that can run on a scheduled task. This is a critical need…

Date/Time Associated with Showing Schedule after Online Registration
Having the ability to only show schedule after OR is completed is great but this option needs to be associated with a date/time. Currently, we need to hide the schedule option right after Year End until OR starts and then adjust the settings again - usually at midnight, when OR begins. For example, the ability to hide from 6/30 - 8/1, but then show starting at 8 am on 8/1, once online registration is completed.

Future Scheduling Reports - Free Period and Partial Schedules Reports
Future Scheduling Reports - Free Period and Partial Schedules Reports both have flaws in the underlying logic for the reports - neither of the reports looks at the schedule status for the student. That means if a future class was dropped, but not deleted, it still counts for the student and they don't appear on either report.
We had been running the reports to fix schedules, but knew of some students who had holes, but were not appearing on the reports. Caused lots of confusion and inaccurate schedules for students.
This idea is the result of service call #4405450. In…

Check Box - Select All
Anywhere that there is a check box to choose courses, students, etc., we should have the option to select and deselect all. Checking boxes individually is very cumbersome.

Online Registration Grade Levels
When setting up online registration, we are allowed to limit forms by grade level, however, it is not taking into account the school year that the online registration is for.
For example, we are setting up for 20-21 school year and will be opening long before the 19-20 school year is completed.
The restrict forms for a grade level and grade level displayed on custom forms are using the 19-20 school year grade calculation.
Since we are specifying which school year we are setting up and the system knows which school year is our current school year, it would be…

Teacher Tracking and Gradebook Usage
Gradebook monitoring is very limited. The only way to get information is to use filters when monitoring by Teacher/Class, or drill down in a chart. It would be helpful to have more reports or the ability to do something, like schedule a task and email results, with the information you pull from filters.
Example: Last time teachers entered grades or a learning event is vital information. I can only get that information by using a filter, but I can't do anything with it. I would have to manually run it, download, and email the results to administration.
Example: A list…

Data Mining Sort Options
It would be very beneficial if we could sort by a field (homeroom, advisor etc) and select the option "print all data on one line" together. As of right now, if you chose to sort and have a page break by a field, you can not chose to have all the data on one line. The same is vise versa, if you chose to have all data on one line, you can not sort/page break by a field.

Automated email for student enrolling with existing IEP
We do not utilize the integrated IEP features of SMS 2.0, but would like to have the option to send automated emails to specified staff when a new student enrolls or re-enrolls who has an existing IEP status. This simple alert would allow procedures to begin much more quickly.

CTE Completion, Graduation, and Equity Reports
As Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways/programs and the number of students who are interested in the programs increase, so should the number of reports available.
Our Department of Education is going to use CTE:
Completion Rate
Graduation Rate
PostSecondary Outcome
Equity
rates to evaluate our programs. Similar to our State Testing, PSAT/SAT, and other testing situations where we need to verify testing accommodations and student status (IEP, Section 504, Lunch, and etc), we are going to have to verify the completion, graduation, and equity data.
I would like Skyward to build reports that are capable of reporting out the…

For ALL emails fields, student details, Parent Details, Emergency Contacts, Staff and TEACHERS:
Verify the validity of email address fields. As a Minimum:
Don't allow commas
Don't allow spaces
Don't allow special characters like !,$,%
Require a @ somewhere in the middle with text before and afterwardsWe have a lot of our extracts with vendors crash every year because of bad data entered into any of the email address fields.

Apply credit balance upon checkout
When a students customer account has a credit balance on it allow the parent to use this credit balance upon check out in Family Access. Currently Family Access does not do a great job with visibility of a credit balance on an account. It should show in the list of current charges/credits so that parents are reminded that the credit exists.

Texas - Fix years in US Schools utility
The Years in US Schools utility has never worked correctly. Not once. We need someone to revisit the flawed programming logic behind it. This should be a simple process and it is a nightmare every year. This was not a problem in either of the prior systems we utilized. We are tired of hand-correcting student records because the utility skips them. First, the utility should allow you to update blank years with zeros before running. It does not, and then it skips records with a blank year. Second, the utility should allow you to disregard the last updated year when…
