  1. District and School Accountable Dropdown

    It would greatly help if the District Accountable and School Accountable fields would be drop down/lookup fields similar to the Res Dist field. It is easy to mistype the codes.
    This is similar to this request.

  2. Mass Activate / Inactive Security Groups

    We inactivate security groups during the time frame after rolling the year and the start of school so that the school personnel can add scheduling information without all the teacher "eyes" viewing their progress. If we could select groups to mass activate and inactive, it would be a huge time saver.

  5. Critical Alert Pop Up

    Create the ability to turn off the critical alert pop up on student profile for specific users. For example, if admins want the alert turned off so they don't get the pop up every time they pull up a student with a critical alert. Without affecting it for all other users.

  6. offer the availability to have more that one staff member receiving the notification on when a parent submits an Online Registration .

    offer the availability to have more that one staff member receiving the notification on when a parent submits an Online Registration. This way if one person is out then there is a back up, and there would be no holdup when when registering.

  7. AUTOMATED EMAILS FOR ATTENDANCE

    Hello~
    I would like to request to have an automated email trigger for attendance, so that we may notify parents when their student is tardy to school and/or absent.
    Currently there is a trigger for Attendance Letters, which I am using. However, I would like to be able to notify parents when their child is tardy to school and copy an administrator as well. I do realize parents can opt to receive notice for attendance, but not all do, and this is another way to reach those parents.

  8. Relationship Choices in OnLine Enrollment

    When a parent or guardian is doing online enrollment, and they come to the relationship drop down, the drop down includes all the possible relationships, even those for emergency contacts. We would like to make it a little easier on the parents and limit the choices for those guardian records. But we haven't found a way to exclude choices like "neighbor" or others that don't make sense. We need a shorter list for them.

  9. attendance eligibility

    Our school is focusing on attendance and eligibility - right now, there is no way to schedule the Academic Eligibility report to run daily. It would be nice to add a "Today Less number of School Days" option for the date so I can schedule it to run daily instead of having to pull it daily.

  10. Teacher Requests for Changes to Grades count by entity

    All my administrators are seeing "(4)" next to their "Teacher Requests for Changes to Previously Posted Grades", but those 4 requests are at our HS entity. The number should only display at the entity that has the request for changes.

  11. My Students with Health Plans

    Teachers have the wonderful shortcuts to My Students with Disabilities and My Section 504 Students. Health plans are just important for safety reasons, so it'd be great if there were a My Students with Health Plans so teachers can easily see who those students are and quickly get to the plans.

  14. Create a report of manually applied coursework

    The ability to run a report of manually applied coursework in the graduation requirements would be helpful. Our Principals are supposed to approve all manually applied coursework and would like to audit this coursework. Currently, they have to go to each individual student profile to audit if coursework has been manually applied.

  15. student indicators for pref pronouns and preferred name

    Teachers/office staff would like to have an indicator for preferred pronouns. With the coming for ed-fi and needing to record it on the identity tab it would be helpful to have that area listed under the student indicators. Right now I do use it under student categories but I don't want to enter the info in two places. While in the same area it would also help if the preferred name was include in the indicators. We are having a hard time keeping track of students preferred names with their legal names when comparing state reports and info from other…

  17. Have GLO mass change unique to entity

    When using mass add to change the GLO for student records it's changing it for all enrollment records, not just for a specific entity. With needing different GLOs for EC, EE, PS, etc. it would be helpful if you changed the GLO for only that entity record, not all. If you ran it from 000 it could/would change the GLO for all records. Having to hand change all records to EE or EC or HK on individual enrollment records it time consuming and a hassle to be compliant with ed-fi.

  18. Please consider adding the ability to filter and add stage information in the Verification Area for Online Registration. WS\FA\FM\OR\VS

    Please consider adding the ability to filter and add stage information in the Verification Area for Online Registration. WS\FA\FM\OR\VS Currently, we have three different spreadsheets to track not having proof of residency, needing specific proof of residency or under review due to alternate proof of residency. The ability to track all information in Skyward would be helpful.

  19. Teacher Scheduling Report

    It would be great if the Teacher Schedules Report (WS/OF/FS/RE/TS) would print the teacher type on the report. Is the Teacher an Alternate or a Primary on the section meet. Also, it would be great if the report template allowed you to select which teacher type to include Primary , Alternate or Both. For example, you may only want to print the report to view courses where the teacher is set as the primary teacher but not include the Alternates.
