  1. Add From Email address field in Automated Email

    Add the option to send from email address field in Automated email. Similar to the option in Message Center. When the automated email is sent to guardians, the person setting up the email should not always be the person the parent is replying to.

  2. Report with Discipline Code detail

    Offense Code configuration allows for checkboxes (drug related, weapon related, etc) and state Incident Types in Skyward. Right now the only way to view this information is to expand/edit each code individually (per Skyward help ticket); I would like a report that shows these settings for all codes.

  3. ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations

    ELL Score Import Utility - Include transfer of Accommodations and Update list of Accommodations.

    Please update the current ELL Score Import Utility to copy over previous year Accommodations and Support Delivery Model info. The accommodations are necessary information for Access for ELL setup in the DRC portal for WI State Testing and can be pulled into the DRC portal. Also the list of Accommodations in Skyward are not the same as in the DRC state testing portal. Can these be updated to match ?

  4. It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile.

    It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile. Our district prints that info in case of an emergency.

  5. Automated email when families split - get divorced

    It would be nice to have an email when families split or get divorced. We have multiple entities and it would be nice to know when this happens from another building.

  7. Add another Advisor under the Entity Info tab/Entity information

    Currently there is Advisor, Counselor, Discipline Officer - can you add a generic box for a name key/name and then the person's position such as Diagnostician, Speech, etc., and add this to be done in a mass add/change as well.

  8. In health forms, allowing the IHP report to be converted to Excel

    The Health report, Student Individual Health Plan (IHP), is designed to print HTML IHP forms, but it would be very helpful if the report could be converted to Excel so it is easily editable and can be saved and used when students are going on field trips. Right now other reports can convert to excel but this one is not available

  9. Credits earned prior to 9th grade

    I want high school credits earned in middle school to appear on the high school transcript under the actual grade that they were earned in (8th grade, 7th grade) instead of lumping them all in 9th grade. This is not accurate.

  10. Scheduled Letters under Attendance Letters - Discipline

    We would like the possibility to select whether the discipline entered for the student through the Scheduled Letters is an Offense or a Referral. We utilize this for tardies and once a student hits a certain amount of tardies no action is assigned and the Assistant Principal needs to call the student in. This should be categorized as a Referral and not an Offense since I'm not assigning an action.

  12. We would like to have a quick filter on the Online Registration Approval area.

    We have clerical staff approving some areas and nurses approving other areas, so it would be nice for them to be able to filter by Area.

  13. Add Option to Mass Change Display On Student Schedules in Mass Change Course Master Fields Utilty

    The option to mass change/update the display on student schedules checkbox under each meet would be a great option instead of having to go into each meet and uncheck this if we do not want to display the meet on student schedules.

  16. Mass Export Report Cards with a Custom Filename Format

    In order to import or share student report cards into some of our other software, the vendors require the report card files to have the filename as either the student ID (Other ID) or student name (LastFirst), so it would be helpful to have these options when exporting from Skyward.

  17. Scan Mobile ID to Load Current Student Profile

    Program SMS so that a secretary can scan the students Mobile ID and have the corresponding Student Profile pop up on the secretary's Skyward. This would make the attendance office much more efficient when having to see so many kids face-to-face each day.

  18. Add Course Substitution Option to Grad Reqs

    Under coursework requirement area - WS\ST\TB\GQ\TB\GQ

    It would be helpful if in addition to the options to manually add coursework, that there also be an option to add coursework being used for substitutions. Using the picture as a reference, an S can be added to the options to choose from if needing to substitute a course.

    For example, a student in Special Education may have a LOTE substitution for graduation. I would like to have the ability to add courses designated as General Electives to Texas Graduation areas of LOTE and Physical Education as these are the areas where students…

  19. service call contact preference email default

    I think it would be nice if you could make the default for "contact preference" to be email instead of phone when submitting customer access requests (aka service calls) to Skyward. I would almost always prefer to have Skyward attempt via email first but always forget to change the option from phone to email before submitting.
