  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Online Registration

    After address entry, add a checkbox for RENT or OWN.
    This will help with residency issues, etc.

  5. 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.

  6. Custody Calendar

    Blended 50/50 families should be attached to a custody calendar that follows according to the agreement and can be automated to switch Family 1 and 2, much like scheduling or scheduled tasks. The days that mom has the child-she's family 1. The days dad has the child, he's family 1. Busing, emergency contacts, and attendance (and possibly discipline) should be able to be tracked according to the custody calendar. This would provide valuable information for intermediaries to see where the student thrives.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. Hall Pass requested via student access

    Students who leave class need to be tracked because too many times they end up doing things against the rules when they leave the room. It would be helpful if they could request a hall pass on their phone and the teacher could approve. The student would then have a hall pass on their phone that they could take and show staff if anyone were to ask where they were supposed to be when outside the classroom

  14. 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.

  17. Import Schools where Transcript Sent

    Update skybuild imports to include schools where transcripts were sent information.

    Date Sent
    School Name

    We have high school campuses using other applications like Naviance and Career Cruising to send transcripts however we need to import the schools sent information back to Skyward transcripts tab for historical purposes.
