  2. Attendance totals by date range for grade book

    When teachers are taking their attendance and use the view of previous days it gives them a total of excused, unexcused, other and tardy absences. They are asking if I can adjust those totals so they are just for the current semester instead of the whole year. This is a problem when classes are year long. Give the teacher to adjust the total by a date range they can choose.

  3. Automated Email for Unpaid Fees

    Create an automatic, recurring email that get sent to families for any unpaid fees. We would want it to be set up so they would get an email every few weeks if they have any fees still due. I know we can have an automatic email set up for when fees get added, but I don't see one that we can set up as a reminder if they are still unpaid.

  4. add Migrant questions to NSOE

    add Migratory Student Information collection to NSOE. DPI has a form for these families to fill out (and skyward has an import process to pull these families into Skyward from DPI). However, there is not a process to collect the information in NSOE. We are adding our own questions to NSOE based on the links below but to ensure enrollments are similar at other districts in Wisconsin could this be added by Skyward to NSOE?

    Requirement C.1. Identification of Migratory Children
    LEAs must have procedures in place to identify migratory students.

    Section 1111(b)(2)(B)(xi)(VI)

    This is required for all LEAs whether…

  5. Test Accommodations

    Users would LOVE to have the ability to add multiple accommodations to the test. Every accommodations needs to be added, then saved then "Add" again. Once they are on the Local Accommodation Maintenance page it would be great for the user to enter all ALL accommodations here and then just save once all are entered.

  6. Would like to see "Doctor's note required for each absence" on the entry by date screen

    Add "Doctor's note required for each absence" to the entry by date screen. That way we can see if a doctors note is required or not.

  8. Tardy Kiosk - print # of days tardy on ticket

    I see no option to print the number of DAYS tardy a student has. It appears to only allow number of periods tardy (can be multiple every day) or number of days absent. Or at least find a way to print the number of a specific attendance code entries per student.

  9. Utility to mass update grade card family to Family 1

    When we update / correct family and family connections, it sometimes makes the connection of the family to the old report cards invalid. If we had a mass update utility, we could run it to set report cards to Family 1, whichever is the current valid family.

  10. SPO/SRO module

    I am reaching out on behalf of our School Police Officers. They were wondering if there is a module in Skyward in which our School Police Officers can document their interactions with students (similar to guidance notes) as well as documentation of charges that have been filed on students. They are looking for a module that they can use as a police reporting system to create templates for filing charges and such. If there isn't a module that is separate for this, where would you suggest that School Police Officers house this information in Skyward? Thank you!

  11. Ability to view customer fees by grade - Browse screen filter options

    We are looking for the ability to view outstanding student fees by grade. With the view Fee Activity, we lose the grade.
    With customer details, we have the grade, but then do not have a fee balance that shows. We need this to capture our 5th and 8th graders before they move to a new building for end of year activities.

  13. Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests

    Currently, the default ranges on the Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests is set to Exclude Special Ed students. This causes them to be excluded even when running this utility using a processing list. All other mass utilities have open ranges, so schedulers didn't look at the ranges in this utility before running it with a processing list and didn't realize all ESE and Gifted students on the processing list were getting left out. They are now going in and changing it, but it would be nice if the default was truely open ranges so students protected by law weren't inadvertently excluded…

  16. Family Access Users login history

    It would be nice to be able to see the Family Access user login history. We can see it on the student but not the parent. This would come in handy for us to help the parent get logged in. By seeing time, date operating system and browser, just like the student login history.

  17. Early Grad Class Rank

    When a student graduates a full year early, there is no way to include them in the class rank for the cohort that they are actually graduating with. This is due to DPI requiring that they stay in their same cohort. I had to find a workaround to get these students to be included. It would be nice if there was a dropdown or field for "Grad Year for Rank" that could be 12, even though they are still in 11.

  18. Change the the expected grade level to enroll in if the DOB is changed.

    In Step 1 of the application, the user enters the DOB and a popup displays showing the expected grade level to enroll in, and that grade level populates in a separate field.

    If the user changes the DOB, there is no popup identifying the correct grade level and the grade level expected to enroll does not update.

    This is problematic as parents often fail to update the grade level and the custom forms populated in Step 6 are generated dependent on the grade level.

    This seems to be more of a programming error than an enhancement request.

  19. Home Language Codes

    The Home Language Code is located in the student profile, the family tab, and the LEP tab, but these do not update each other so you have to remember to add/edit all three sections. It would be a lot more helpful if they would update in all 3 locations when one of them is updated, because it is hard to remember that there are 3 different places to add/edit it and the code should usually be the same in all 3 locations as well.

    Can you please make the following fields mandatory in Educator Access Plus under the teacher to add a new discipline referral? We would like the Location, Time, and Motivation marked as mandatory fields. Teachers are not filling in this information, and it is very important to us that they enter that information so we can track where incidents are happening the most in the building and their reasons for it. That way if we have to place more teachers in a certain area of the building at a certain time of the day that would be helpful to know.
