Health Restrictions Tab
Under Office- Health Records- Student Profile
A tab to the left for RESTRICTIONS that will end up on the All Health List.
Would need to be able to enter a date, a restriction (No PE, walking only, etc) and also a Release to all activities....it would be great if the Restriction and Release to activities would pop up on the All Health list for a quick look as to if a student is or is not released or restricted.
Also a tab to download their restriction/release form. We currently keep a paper file on hand. We tried just downloading the…

HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY in Custom Forms
The Native Language and Home Language fields that are used for the EL Export to the state are not available in custom forms. We would like both fields available so we can create the HLS in custom forms, making it match the state so we are in compliance, and use it in the NSOE. We cannot do this at this time because the only field that is available is the Language field, which is a local field.

• Add the User Defined option to the Curriculum Master Report
Add the User Defined option to the Curriculum Master Report (WS\OF\CA\CM\RE) to allow users to add helpful information such as service ID's. Service ID's are a critical part of the Texas accountability and reporting system and should be easily available in reports.

Add Teacher License number as a field to data mine under schedule
We have to create student schedule reports to export into other software and there isn't a TLN field to select in the CY or NY Schedule options. Mapping students with teacher names is difficult.

Stop auto entering 9th grade entry dates
When a new student enrolls in grade 9-12, Skyward is automatically entering the enrollment date as the 9th grade entry date. We have to look at the previous school's records to determine when the student entered 9th grade for the first time and manually change it in Skyward anyway because all students in grades 10-12, and some in grade 9 who are repeating, have a different 9th grade entry date than the enrollment date. The auto population causes issues because if the data entry person forgets to make the change, there is no way to know that a bad date…

Add option to record more than one grade level within Staff Entity Maintenance
We have several staff members (Art, PE, Music, etc.) who teach courses at multiple grade levels, however, the staff entity maintenance screen allows only one grade level to be selected. Ideally, this would allow for entry of more than one grade level in this screen as well as the option to select a default grade level.

Ability to import Sports Physical field
We were able to import in a list of students who had physicals but we had to go into each record manually and click the Sports Physical box. This field was not available for import through Skybuild. Please add this field so that it can be imported or at the very least a utility that can mass update via a processing list.

Distinguishing "missing" from "pending" grades
In Skyward, if a teacher enters an assignment but does not instantly post the grade (given that the due date has been entered accurately), the student/parent dashboard lists the assignment at the top of the page as "missing." However, if I enter an assignment and am in the process of grading it, I need Skyward NOT to communicate incorrect things to parents/students. Please change that. There is a spot for me to mark a grade as "missing" as I enter grades for students who failed to submit a particular assignment. This must be distinguishable from a pending grade for which…

Add Prompt to Update Students Tied to Incident
When users attempt to edit an Offense Code for students tied to an Incident there is no option to change the code whether it's temporary or inaccurate. Skyward misleads the users by sending them to the Offense Code screen to select a different code. The program should allow for updating all students tied to the Incident when the Configuration setting to force students to have the same Offense code is engaged. The prompt allows a user to make the change or back out of the change and should confirm which students are updated if the user proceeds to make the…

Add Processing List Option to Student Selection
It would be beneficial to have an option to choose students in the student selection area from a processing list when using the Mass Change Categories utility. This option is already available in the Add/End/Delete Special Programs utility. The concept is the same and some districts (including ours) need to use categories for a large number of students. Selecting students individually would be too time consuming and would defeat the purpose of even using a category.
Copy the programming used for the Add End or Delete Special Programs utility to allow the use of processing lists in the student selection…8 votes -
E/W History in Skybuild
Currently Skybuild only allows the current E/W recod to be exported. We would like the option of including historical E/W records as well. The problem is if one record was open yesterday but today that record was closed and a new one was opened the proper withdrawal information for the previous record is never transmitted.
If it were possible to include E/W History in Skybuild we could export all E/W records for the year including their proper withdrawal dates and codes. Otherwise the recipient system will just get the new record and have to guess as to what values to…8 votes -
Different rights for different parents
In some cases we have a parent who has educational rights but has a protective order from knowing where mom/child live. By law we have to give parent rights to kids grades but not where he/she lives guardians names registration info etc. Skyward really needs to add a code of some sort that ONLY gives that member of the family rights to the GRADES tab not attendance not student info nothing else!!!!

Add Student Grad/Grad Year to Report
Our Principals rely heavily on the Chronic Attendance Report. It would be very helpful for this report to include student grade level/grad year and/or the ability to sort by grade/grad year. It would also be helpful if a range of percentages could be entered and only those students print. I currently have to print it for each grade level put it in Excel and delete the students with less than 10% absent.

Skybuild/CTE Family Import
Because CTE is growing by leaps and bounds, ISD's and RESD's have a need to import and overwrite much more student demographics information. In particular Family and Emergency Contact information.
Currently, Family information imports that we use between district databases and our CTE database can only be imported once. After that, the settings to overwrite family information is not available in Skybuild Imports. This prevents us from providing critical Student and Family information updates between systems.
For that matter limiting the districts ability to overwrite data using an import is a bit of an over reach.
It is critical that…

Option to include future transactions in graduation requirement progress
Our district uses future transactions to drop or add a course at term or semester break because the ability to edit the terms on courses creates many other issues with our third party exports, state reporting for membership, attendance, etc. However, when future transactions are used, a course that will be added or dropped is not included in a student's graduation requirements. This makes it difficult to determine which students are actually deficient in credit for graduation. It would be great to have the option to include course credit in the graduation requirements when the course will be added or…

Please add additional staff types in the Designations field in the Staff Information area. The Teacher checkbox controls a ton of functions
Please add additional staff types in the Designations field in the Staff Information area. The Teacher checkbox controls a ton of functions and access in Student Management, so I would ultimately like to make this a required field using Skycoder. However, I cannot make this a required field unless we have at least an 'Other' option for staff members.
The current checkboxes are Discipline Officer, Teacher, Substitute, Counselor, and Career Center Counselor or Administrator.
Here are some suggestions for additions to this field: Secretary (or Admin Assistant), ParaPro, Coordinator, Principal / Dean, Support Staff, and Other.
The Career Center Counselor…

Pop-up Window for required Doctor's Note while entering Attendance
If a student is flagged "Required" Doctor's Note" it would be nice if there was a pop-up or some form of indicator that would not allow an excused attendance to be entered without that Required Doctor's Note either in an attachment form or even as fields that have to be entered. Such fields could be the date listed on the Doctor's Note along with the Doctor's name maybe even a free-form comment field in case anything needed to be entered in regards to said note.
Also to go along with this feature it would be nice if a report could…

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.
