  3. 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. 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.

  10. Course Requests Configuration by Grade Level

    In the Course Request Configuration in Student Access, we can choose the option to Use Course Request Time Periods to Determine if a Window is Open, and set up the time period by Grade Level. This option is helpful, but we need to also Limit the Number of Requested Credits by grade level. Sometimes the request windows can overlap.

  12. 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. Add secondary guardian contact number to display in Student Profile

    We would like to include both guardians' phone numbers in the student profile, as shown in the attached screenshot. This addition is essential for emergency situations, as individuals are currently unable to find the second guardian's phone number in the information panel. In an emergency, it is crucial that this information is easily accessible.

  20. More options for printing career plans

    There are currently very few options for printing career plans. The student career plan report prints the description and not the curriculum key. We have made several changes for how we display our sped courses and have needed to update career plans for multiple students, however I only know who they are based on the curriculum - it's not one grade level/campus/endorsement/etc. Some extremely helpful options include:

    1. The ability to run a report either by range or individual to look for students with a specific range of curriculums or specific individual curriculums on their career plan anywhere within a specified…
