  2. Prevent scheduling specific students in the same classes

    We have a student that has disciplinary issues against another student, so it would be great if they can be automatically scheduled so they are not scheduled in the same classes.

  3. TSAI2 Scores - Seamless integration

    I would like to propose an idea that I believe will significantly benefit Texas School districts and streamline the assessment upload process within Skyward Student Information System (SIS).

    The inclusion of TSAI2 scores in our SIS is crucial for assessing student progress and ensuring their readiness for College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR). However, I understand that certain assessments may not be considered mandatory by the state, which has led to Skyward in not making or helping districts with integrating TSAI2 scores into the SIS an easy process.

    To address this issue, I propose that Skyward explore the possibility of…

  4. 2 columns for activities on custom transcripts

    We use a custom transcript and have the activities print on the back but a few students each year have so many activities they need a third page to the transcript. It would be nice to have the availability to have 2 columns (continuing) instead of only one. I tried two columns but the same information prints in both columns.

  5. Unrecorded Class Attendance Sort by Teacher Option

    Unrecorded Class Attendance can only be sorted by date. At the end of the year, in order to print a report by teacher (for principals), you must take it out to Excel and fill in every line with the date and day for every day in the school year. Otherwise, there is no option to sort by teacher. Either adding the option o sort by teacher or adding the date to every entry would resolve.

  6. Need to be able to add more than one health screening a day.

    Sometimes health professionals have to add more than one screening a day, but the system does not time stamp the screening easily to see which one happened first. Need a time stamp.

  8. 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.

  12. Teacher Room Availability - pull only ACTIVE classes

    Within WS\OF\CS\BC\RE\TR... there should be an option to look at only ACTIVE classes. Right now the report pulls Active and Inactive classes which is not helpful when trying to find room availability, and there is not a template setting to only choose Active classes.

  13. Discipline Report that includes demographic statistics.

    The Offense count by Action Code is a good report. It would be better if it would include race, gender, grade level, special ed, and ELL. Those selections are available in a class roster report. The report should include the names as it currently does, but also include a statistic count by Infraction. I can pull by data mining, but I'm not excel experienced enough to run formulas to count. The data is in Skyward, just need a regular report to pull the data out. An Offense Count by Action Code would be helpful with the more specific information

  15. Student gets a text or alert for any schedule changes

    Is it possible for a student to receive a text or alert for any schedule changes the counselors have made without the student in their office or needing to go to the office. There would need to be a on and off option, start date along with a message as to why it was changed and the history would need to be kept as well. The button could be on the scheduling tab next to the email tab, so that everything is on the page as the schedule change. The history button is read only and can be excelled as…

  16. Print course on transcript, but NOT on report card

    We would like the option to print courses on student transcripts, but NOT on report cards. Right now, that is an all or nothing option. Can you please separate these options so that we can choose to print on one or the other?

    This would be extremely helpful for our Dual Enrollment courses that do not need to be printed on student report cards (they were not taken at our school), but still need to be printed on transcripts.

  17. At Risk Status needed in Skybuild Export

    In Skybuild, there is a field called At-Risk Status which has been verified by Skyward that it doesn't work or attach to any data. Everyone is listed as N (no). This needs to report the student's current At-Risk Status.

  19. 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.
