  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. teacher grade posting Report to include subject and skill grades

    We are looking for a way to run a report for teachers who did not post Subject/skill grades for SBRC's. Currently we run data mining reports but that is very time consuming to go through since not all skills are graded each marking period.

  5. Add School Day in Two Places

    At menu path: WS\ST\TB\SC\CS\SI\ST, view all transaction, having the school day, the number of the day progressing through the school year, would be very helpful for certain departments and their meetings. This menu path is used by the guidance office and goes into an annual effort, by the teachers and guidance office, to track what percentage of the school year a teacher taught a student. These transactions look to be a snap shot in time and being able to see a school day number associated with the calendar day would greatly reduce manual efforts, increase accuracy, and automate several processes.

  6. Add non-cte industry credentials/work-based experiences to the transcript

    Currently, you can only add the Career/Tech Ed industry credentials and work-based credentials to the transcript. We are required, in PA, to add the non-cte industry credentials and work-based experiences to the transcript, especially since it directly affects the pathway to graduation.

  11. Student Profile - Extra Information Add Gender Identity

    Please add the option to show the Gender Identy of a student on the student profile header in the customize/extra information area. We have the ability to only show gender identity for parents and teachers, but the office staff/student management users need to have this ability, too.

  12. Removed home access for FA/SA display for teachers

    We would like to remove the home screen access from teachers under family/student access in educator access plus. We do want our teachers to have access to the family access grade book for their students but we do not want them to have access to the home page. Private information is listed there regarding FRP applications that teachers should not have access to.

  14. HTML Options for Fee Mgmt / Print Statements

  15. Secondary Gradebook - Ability to Pull Category/Assignment specific level data

    I would like to suggest developing a report (or ability within data mining) that would allow users to pull reports of specific categories/assignments from the secondary grade book.

    Example: I want to be able to see the trends of 3rd gr MATH TESTS or READING TESTS throughout the school year. I can only pull Quarter or Semester grades. There is a report that sort of gets this data but it is student specific and there is no way to sort and organize the data by a class or grade level for comparisons.

    Screenshot attached. show the CRAC category I would…

  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.

  18. Enrollment Report - Default Entity Option

    I love the Enrollment Report (WS\OF\AT\RE\AR\ER). I use it often and it is a helpful doublecheck for our WI membership reporting.

    This report would be even better if we had the option to only include students in their default entity. Sometimes I only want the students that have a particular default entity and sometimes I want to know all of the students in the entity.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  19. Make the Hall Pass button available in the Health Office Visit screen.

    It would be helpful to be able to print a hall pass from the health office visit screen instead of having to exit out of that screen and print from the Entry by date screen.

  20. Auto Email for parent email changes

    In the Advanced Features - Automated Emails under Demographic Changes add an auto email for parent email changes. This way staff using other software programs such as SEEDS knows the email changed and can change it in their systems.
