  1. Add Waitlist to Arena Scheduling

    Add waitlist to Arena Scheduling. We use Arena Scheduling for Summer School and would be nice if kiddos could be put on waitlist. We then could determine to increase seat count or add an additional section

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. HTML Options for Fee Mgmt / Print Statements

    We frequently use the Fee Mgmt Print Statements report and would love to have the text box be HTML instead of just plain text so that we could insert a hyperlink to our payment website.

  6. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Enhance LEP Student Indicator

    We are required to track LEP students even after they are fluent. Could the indicator have an option to "Show Indicator even if Student has exited the Program" similar to what is available for the Special Ed Disability indicator?

  13. Add the ability to blank out all census block groups

    Currently census block groups can be imported via skybuild only via an attached student. I recommend adding the ability to blank out all census block groups for addresses. If all students leave a home, then the address record can only be modified by using address master. This feature is not very easy to use for large scale address maintenance. Since we have a change of block groups this year, we end up with 2010 and 2020 CBGs in address master. The 2010 are not associated with students currently, but may be associated as a snapshot address, or future students may…

  15. Career Plan – Curriculum Quick Entry

    When adding Curriculum > click on “Maintain” > “+ Add Curriculum” at the top of the year column > type the “curriculum key”, counselors are requesting the option to press enter and have it execute the same code as if they clicked on “Save and Add Another” button. Counselors have the curriculum codes memorized and it really, really, really slows them down when they have to stop and click the button every time. This would function similar to the “Request Quick Entry” when scheduling a course under current scheduling.

    This screen has a Save and Add Another button on it, with that button you can use the key combination of ALT + A to save the current entered curriculum code and reopen the screen for a new code to be added.

  16. Change Family Access Users to be entity specific when not in District Entity.

    When a staff member has access to one entity, they should not have the ability to access any parent, student, or teacher from the entire district.
    Our secretaries assist parents, students, and teachers for a variety of areas from registration, trouble shooting in the gradebook, etc. Their access should include ONLY the entity they have access to, not the entire district. This is a privacy and security issue! When I placed a service call to see if there was a configuration to limit a specific entity, the answer was to have each staff member check the box "Only show guardians…

  20. Make Student Indicators follow students from entity to entity

    When a student moves from one school to the other, it would be helpful if the indicator followed. For example, RTI Referral. If the student switches schools right after an RIT is submitted, the teacher or administrator is not going to think about emailing the next school this information, especially if it is just a normal transfer from elementary to middle school.
