  2. Secured User History Report

    It would be helpful to have a secured user detailed history report. We have internal audits and at times are questioned by state auditors for this information. A report that can be ran by secured user and for a date range that displays detailed history accessed by that user or an option to select user defined fields of access.

  3. Switch School Year button for the "Room Codes".

    Since the Homeroom Codes have the ability to be updated by using the Switch School Year button, it would be very helpful to also include the Switch School Year for the room codes. The descriptor for the room codes can and do change from current to future.

  4. Add date ranges for enrolled and dropped schedule class status to Grade and Attendance Analysis, Grade Input and Proof Sheet, Selected Grade

    Add date ranges for enrolled and dropped schedule class status to Grade and Attendance Analysis, Grade Input and Proof Sheet, Selected Grade Reports. So that registrars can put in a start and end date for students enrolled in a class. This would be useful when looking for missing grades for a term.

  5. Family Cap Report

    We would like to see a Family Cap report for Athletics. Currently the only way to see it is to run the fee code totals and it is not real pretty. I tried to convert it to Excel and sort it by Family Cap and it is a mess.
    Thank you,
    Jayne Huth, School District of Reedsburg

  9. General Collection Data Extract

    When extracting for my General Collection, I'd like more filters to extract groups separately. For example, I'd like to be able to extract only the Special Education kiddos. Currently, I'm using a Processing List to do this, but it would be nice to have a few features built in.

  10. Registrar Configuration

    We have discovered that staff can change the status of an approved application to WIP IF the student is Inactive. Our district does now want this to be an option. We would like to request an additional check box option to not allow staff to change the status of an approved application.

  11. Monthly Attendance Email to parents

    We would like to send an email to families at the beginning of each month showing them their student's absences so far for the quarter/semester/year. It will be helpful for families to get this information automatically to remind them how important attendance is AND a paper trail of their student's attendance. Hard to be surprised that your kid has 10 absences if you get an email every month showing their status!

  13. Add Foster Care to Export File Builder

    Inside the SkyBuild under Special Programs there is no ability to pull the data inside the Foster Care Fields on a student's profile. We need to send this data out for some software/applications and it is not there. It has other programs like Homeless and LEP but Foster Care is missing. This would be super beneficial to be able export our student data in the SkyBuild.

  14. Add Advisor Designation to Staff Info Screen

    We would like to request an "Advisor" staff designation be added to the staff information screen so staff members can be assigned the advisor role between entities without having to add the entity permission to the staff member. The counselor field is not always available on certain reports that campuses and district administrators use.

    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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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 ?

    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.

  20. 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.
