  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. STAFF INFORMATION REPORT

  12. 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.

  13. Enrollment Dashboard

    It would be great to have an enrollment dashboard screen that would show a grid of current enrollment by grade/gender. This would be helpful when needing some quick enrollment numbers, rather than needing to run a report or use Student Browse.

  14. 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.

  15. Search by legal name

    It would be great if we could search for a student by either their legal name OR other name and have it show up without having to go into Student Filters.

    Sometimes it is hard to remember which is the legal vs other OR if a student even has a different legal name that we need to be looking up by.

  16. Have the ability for parents to select who is the primary person/contact in the male be listed first in the family contact screen.

    Families should have the ability to select who the primary person is in the household to receive various emails. Sometimes only the person listed first in the family receives documents, but the secondary does not.  Would be nice to have the ability to select who the primary person is for each task. For example. food service low balance alerts, grades, discipline, unpaid invoices, ect.

    Under Distribut Student Demographic Information for?
    We have changed the labels for this area and the description when clicking on the ? does not match the new label. We need to be able to update the explanation of each field label.

  18. Other name on health reports

    We need the ability to print both the legal name and other name on health reports. We have several students that have chosen other names due to their gender identity.

  19. Hiding final grades in Family Access for standards gradebook

    It would be great if we could hide the final grade in family access for standards gradebook. New DOE rules, we have to send a final grade across for ALL courses. We are adding the P/F to report, but we do not include that on report cards. However we can't block it from family access. It makes no sense to parents because there is no pass or fail for elementary grades.

  20. percentages

    When running the D/F list through the grading and attendance analysis, it would be great to be able to include percentages. We spend a lot of time going back into each individual student's profile to look up their percentage.
