  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. Transporation/Busing module in registration process

    During registration we have a Google Form for parents to request student pick-up/drop-off. The parents enter their addresses in the form but those addresses get misspelled or different abbreviations for ST, Str, Street. It would be nice to have a transporation module in the online registration portal where parents can select their address from the Address Master and then the correct bus would be displayed (with bus driver info)...

  11. "All Students" preview screen

    When making changes for families and selecting "All Students," having an option to have a pop-up show the changes that will take place, along with a confirmation asking if you'd like to proceed. This could help cause fewer issues with changes being made and affecting other families/blended families.

  13. 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.

  14. Giving more flexibility when selecting students in SIS Exports

    It would be very helpful if we could use processing lists in addition to the range and individual student choice in SIS exports. Many times I have to correct data for groups of students and this would speed that up.

  15. The login is already used

    Skyward is Assigning Other IDs already used by other students. Please fix this issue. This is probably due to students being merged and the ID becomes available, but then Skyward assigned the ID to a different student and we cant assign the ID and password to this new student. See error.

  16. STAFF INFORMATION REPORT

  17. Attendance Tab - Add the option to select specific days of the week for reoccurring absences during a specific hour(s).

    If a student has an appointment during 7th and 8th hour every Thursday for three consecutive weeks, we have to choose each date, add in the attendance, save and then choose the next date. Being able to isolate specific class periods for specific days of the week within a date range, would make for a smoother process.

  18. parent entered request

    Add the functionality to change the status of a Parent Entered Request in Attendance. Once a request is approved/denied, the request status can no longer be changed. It would be helpful to have access to change this status as needed.

    This button is found in a couple of different screens. Here's one area where it exists. Office > Attendance > Entry by Date. The button is located on the right side of the screen.

  19. Have a setting in security to allow access only to active students

    We have some employee types, such as paras, that need limited information for students. We would like to be able to limit this access to Active students only. There is no need to see all students that ever attended that entity.

  20. alternate student name

    Is it possible to have a space for a student's preferred name and run reports using the preferred name? We have several students using different names than their birth name in Skyward and it would be amazing if we can see their preferred name so we are not dead naming them.
