  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. USE OF TEAMS IN REPORTS-ATTENDANCE

    In Day Summary Report I need to print this out by Team but can only print it out by grade. If you can add the option to print by Team it would save me a lot of work. Right now I have to use a Processing List for each Team and we have 10 Teams. There are other reports that we can't use for Teams as well that if added would be great and save time and trouble.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Two (2) Signature (Administered By) Fields for Medications

    Our nurses have indicated that TWO(2) signatures are required for administering medications. We need to have two places for Administered by to be in compliance with regulations.

  8. SkyScan Install Options

  9. Advanced Math Indicator not tied to Course Code

    It was stated in a recent Q& A that the Advanced Math Indicator for Summer 2026 PEIMS submission would be tied to students who are enrolled in courses using the new Advanced Math Course Codes. The state does not require us to use those course codes however for students who need the Advanced Math Indicator. We are allowed to use locally created courses for those students. We will need another way to indicate students who need the Advanced Math Indicator other than only students in courses with the identified course codes.

  10. 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.

  11. Request from teacher: Change the symbol in the gradebook for 'no count' assignments so that it is different from 'missing' assignments. They

    change the symbol in the gradebook for 'no count' assignments so that it is different from 'missing' assignments. They currently both have a star. It would assist with us needing to go back in to update missing assignments. Seeing a different symbol for 'no count' we would know that we did not have any scores for that assignment that needed to be updated. Thank you for the consideration.

  12. 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.

  15. Online Assignments- Lock Screen

    It would be amazing if we could lock down the screen/browser for online assignments. With all the AI out there, being able to lock it while students are accessing would be incredibly helpful!

  16. NSOE - virtual signature block on the applicaiton

    The NSOE application needs a virtual signature block and date option for districts to add on their NSOE application for the parent to enter when they are filling out the application. A virtual signature is now acceptable by the ISD auditors. Currently have to print the application and get the parent to sign it or create a custom form which isn't a professional look for an application for enrollment.

  17. Course Groups in Course Master Browse Screen

    We would like to see a column added to the Course Master browse screen for the Course Group assigned to the course. This will be helpful when preparing courses for the WI Direct Admit procedures. There is currently not an easy way to get an overview of which courses already have a Course Group assigned.

  20. Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose specific year to change current or future schedule viewing options

    Under Family Access Schedule Entity Configuration, create an option to choose a specific year in order to change current or future schedule viewing options so that, for example, if we choose to 'hide teacher's name on class', for our students' future schedules, we can do so without affecting their current schedule.
