  1. Academic Areas - Please take away cross-entity ability to see/edit/delete

    It would be very helpful if the academic areas was only available to view per entity, editing is only allowed in entity subject/skill was connected to, subjects/skills are only available for other entity to clone and not for them to edit or delete, and/or a "canned filter" is available to filter out other entities.

    Example: Currently, if our high school secretaries go into the academic areas they are able to edit and delete the subjects and skills entered in the elementary entity. If the high school adds academic areas they are mixed right in with the elementary ones. Also if…

  2. Mass Email Account Reset Link based on Processing List or Reset Needed

    The current ranges within the Mass Email Account Reset Link utility are very limited. It would be helpful two have the following two options: 1) Email based on processing list; and 2) Email only users who have not reset their password within the current school year.

  3. Add <login ID> field to automated email system

    Presently, there is no way to configure an automatic email to students containing their Student Access Login ID—not unless you configure the username to be the same as a currently existing field, such as namekey. Ideally, we would want to configure an automated email based on the Enrollment Change/Student Entered trigger with the ability to insert <login ID>.

  4. I would like to see more security limits under WS\ST\TB\PR\PR . I don't want them to be able to change student’s names here.

    I want our secretaries to be able to update the "General Information" but I don't want them to be able to change the legal "Student Name".

  5. Student Profile Column Adjustment

    Would love the ability to adjust the size of the Activity Tab column (left to right) in Student Profile. Would also be nice if the columns that get adjusted would remain the size you chose until they were altered again.

  6. Add a No Show Automated Email

    Indiana Districts are required to report one-day mobility. The easiest way to create this enrollment/withdrawal record is to use the No Show tool. This ensures that staff are following the directive setup by the district with the No Show option to ensure a withdrawal date and schedule adjustment is processed correctly every time. This part of the puzzle is perfect. The enrollment records that are created with the No Show will not trigger an automated email. They are not processed as a withdrawal. In order to accurately, and easily communicate when a student is "no showed" we need an additional…

  8. Have a Mass Assign Course Fees

    Have the ability to mass change the course fees for the new year. After copying current to future the amounts usually need changed. Instead of entering them one by one have the option to mass change the amount. For example our 20 English courses have the same fee amount. Instead of going into each individual record have a mass change to a set amount.

  9. 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.

  10. Automated Discipline Letters

    The option to have automated Discipline Letters much like the Attendance Letters would be helpful for parents and schools. The idea is that the letters would automatically generate discipline offense letters when a student accumulates 5, 10, 15, and 20 offenses or any combination set by the district that could be mailed and printed as well as posted in Family Access.

    Update the SkyScan installer to support command line switches including the silent install. This would allow us to push the installation and not have to manually install it.

  16. "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.

  17. Remove 0.00 when importing a blank percentile score into Test Scores

    When importing test scores that have a blank percentile value, 0.00 becomes the value in the field instead of just remaining blank. This doesn't look very clear, as all other fields are blank except the percentile field. Would love to see a blank remain a blank in Skyward. See example.

  19. We'd like a way for the bus number to populate in Student Access.

    In student access, not parent access, if the student could see the assigned bus number, it would save some headaches at school dismissal.
