  1. Be able to select multiple teachers to print their schedules

    When working on scheduling it is helpful to print a teacher's schedule. I sometimes want to print more than one. It would be helpful to be able to choose what teachers' schedules I want, rather than having to print more than one report.

  2. Footer Information on Special Education Paper work

    In the footer section of special education paperwork, the student's name and date the form was printed appears at the bottom. The font is extremely small. It would be nice if the font was bigger so it is easier to read and see. I have been told by Skyward the size is hard coded so it would have to be a programming change which would affect all users.

  3. Please allow for a larger font size when printing schedules - perhaps offiering a landscape option would allow the fonts to become larger.

  4. training options to help families navigate the mobile app and troubleshooting issues

    When families run into issues using the app I am not able to help them. I don't have any training on the app and I can't get into it as a parent to see what they are viewing. Is there any way to at least add training videos?

  5. Add field to Emergency Information Report to include "Pick Up"

    Add field to canned report underneath student reports, Emergency Information Report, to include "Pick Up". There are instances where there is an individual who is not authorized to pick up the child even though they are a contact.

  6. default fee due dates

    When student fees are pushed out at the start of the year through the mass fee creation utility they are able to all be given a specific due date. As students are enrolled and scheduled after running the mass fee creation utility, their fees due date are the date that the course is added. Same with when a schedule is changed, the due date for the new course fees is the date the course was added. This creates an issue when parents go to view their fees and any new fees will show up as past due. It would be…

  9. Family Access Missing Assignments

    When we get a new student in our school the assignments that were given prior to their enrollment show up as missing assignments. Parents/Students get confused or upset about the number of missing assignments that then show up. Past assignments should not show up for new students that enroll into a entity.

  11. Students Current Scheduling - allow filtering of dropped courses

    Include a "dropped" field in the actual List View so that Dropped Courses can be Filtered out. Will make it much cleaner for counselors to view and at the same time easier to match with Student Fees. I realize they are color coded, but it still junks up the schedule.

  14. setting to always drop and never delete courses

    Could there be a setting to restrict end users to always drop and never delete a course when changing a students schedule? Deleting a course rather than dropping it causes problems in several of our outside programs and it still happens even though we have tried to educate people to always drop and never delete.

  15. option to exclude a calendar on the CTE Contact Hours utility

    I think it was last year or maybe year before that TEA requires a calendar with instructional type DAEP ... our DAEP is not its own entity, it is a "program" so students remain in their home entity and get a schedule change to be with DAEP teachers ............. so recently I've realized that instead of exluding LOTS of DAEP sections in the contact hours utility ... it would be a lot simpler and cleaner to specify our AEP calendar to exclude those students from getting contact hours while they are at DAEP

  16. Resident District/ Address Master

    Would it be possible to tie the Resident Enrollment field on the entry withdraw to the address master? So once the District for that address is identified it stays with that address no matter who moves in. It would eliminate having to research that address every time someone moves in.

  17. Allow Student Indicator for Threat Assessment on Offense or BTA in Special Programs

    It would be VERY great to have a Student Indicator available that is based on either the Discipline Offense record SSS Threat Assessment checkbox, or the Special Programs BTA record.
    Yes, there is a work around if you use the District Categories - BUT that requires more steps on already overworked staff and adds MORE chance of human error in data entry that may cascade into other areas.
    Please see attached document with screenshots.

  19. Adding transaction dates to the course by course report

    Adding teacher transaction dates to the course by course report. This would be very beneficial so that you don't have to expand each section to view the dates.

  20. Entity button for program records

    With all the program records needed for Ed-Fi and now many needing to be entity-specific, it would be nice to either allow us to select the entity when we add the record from 000 (or any entity) or even better give us an entity button like on the entry/withdrawal tab so we can add the record correctly. Flipping between several entities for one student is cumbersome and confusing.
