  1. Add the ability to pull the discipline detail report into and excel file.

    Add the ability to pull the Discipline Detail Report into an excel file.

    We use the predefined comments to better track the types of offenses causing the discipline action. (Ie: Dress Code Violation, Smoking/Vape) Although I have a datamine set up, if I could pull the same information in the detail report to excel that would be helpful. Isolating the predefined comments from additional comments the discipline officer may want to enter would also be helpful when filtering to run a count.

  2. Mass set note filter

    We’ve researched this issue, and it turns out that the system is functioning properly. We’ve tested, and users at the middle school (and elementary school) do have access to see the legal notes. However, the list of notes is filtered by date, and the user must update the “Filter Options” to see notes since a specified date. If the filtering date is not far enough back, then older notes are not shown. We’ve confirmed with Skyward Support that there is no “rolling forward” process for notes from year to year or campus to campus. They are tied to the student.…

  3. Automated emails to activity staff when students grades drop.

    It would be great to automatically notify the staff when a student or students in their activities have grades drop below a certain grade.

  5. Add Other ID# to Guidance Reports

  6. In need of a report that shows the date/time a gradebook was updated.

    It would be helpful for our Principal to be able to run a report that shows the last time/date a gradebook was updated. There are reports in Skyward that show times/dates for Parent/Student access and the last time/date Attendance was updated for each class. This would help to ensure all gradebooks are up-to-date and grades being reported are the most current.

  8. Allow transfer of previous term grade from the Office to the Gradebook

    We would LOVE to have the ability to push a grade for a new student (or one with a schedule change) from the Office/Grading module to the new teacher's gradebook for previous terms. While we understand that a teachers should click the NEW button and use one of the 5 methods to get grades into previous buckets in their gradebook, getting teachers to do this (and do it correctly) is a huge headache for us. This would save a tremendous amount of time for teachers AND officer personnel. The teacher, of course, could later make adjustments if needed.

  9. Could the class period be seen on the section details? You always have to do all the drop downs to find the right period.

  10. Identity Field and Data Mining

    Adding the Identity area is very helpful, however, Data Mining will not allow you to create a report to only export students with entries in the Identity field. The only way it exports is for all students and then you have to compare line by line to find the students that have a different legal name than what their profile name (preferred name) is.

  12. Pop-up Confirmation for Auto Email Notifications

    Oftentimes, if just switching families (for the ability to do online registration), editing an address of an already withdrawn student, adding a current student to an entity (8th gr to HS) - to name a few situations, the automated notification causes alarm among staff and parents. Instead of having to go into Automated Emails and inactivate the notification every time a simple change is needed and then having to remember to go back and activate it again, it would be helpful it there was a pop-up asking if the email notification should be sent.

  13. Add Medicaid Parental Consent Date for Special Ed Other tab in Student Profile

    SHARS and other groups and entities now require the date of parental consent for medicaid billing. This is collected in the Frontline ESTAR/ESPED program and we have asked them to add that field to the nightly export.

    However, we need a date field in Student Profile - Special ED - Other tab for the data to be imported to. Please see the screenshots doc attached. Thank you.

  16. Legal Name and Full Preferred Name

    Expanding name fields to accommodate more characters is essential. At the same time, it would also be important to add a prefered full name option for gender identity preferences so that schools have an option to "show" the preferred name in educator access plus, family and student access. This would allow options for legal name printing on transcripts and other official documents AND sensitivity for gender identity.

  17. Add new field to Data Mining

    There is a new field that was added to Skyward that is not available in Data Mining. The field is on the E/W screen - Exclude from EOYA. I need to see how many of our students are not marked before we do the state upload but because this field is not available from Data Mining, I cannot get what I need.

  18. Enter in the Change History address information for existing students.

    When we have KG's WITH EXISTING SIBLINGS and the parent enters in an address that is not what is on the existing siblings address info, but NSOE links the students together and updates the existing students address......can this be made and entry in the Change History tab? An address change on the existing student with the program of NSOE would be great.

  19. A WAY TO CHECK FOR HOLES IN THE STANDARDS REPORT CARDS

    Can we look at finding a way to look for holes in the Standards Gradebook like we do with the Secondary Gradebook? We have both gradebooks in our district and we are closing out the end of the school year and I want to make sure that every student has a grade for each skill/subject. It may not help for this year, but next year would be great.

  20. Add Additional Column to Course Master-Details View for Teacher Conferences

    Add an “Allow Teacher Conferences” column to the Course Master - Course Details view to avoid having to expand each course or run additional reports to see which courses are set to allow teacher conferences and which are not.
