  1. Initial Placement Consent Page

    Is it possible to insert a Page Break above the PARENT CONSENT/PERMISSION FOR INITIAL PLACEMENT on the P-1. I have to go into each form for every initial evaluation and input a page break so the signature page is a separate page.

  2. Skybuild - Family Data Type

    While working with Skyward support, it was determined that a Skybuild cannot make a file export with 1 row per family.

    Skyward support - "If we had a family data type we could group based on the family but since we don't that will not be an option. "

    Example use case -- our family news letters are distributed from another web services, and we send the the company an SFTP Skybuild file that contains the names and emails of our guardians based on the building that their student(s) are actively enrolled. The current issue is that we can either…

  3. Can the attendance report in Skyward Family Access be changed to a different report. We would prefer the report found in Student Management

    Can the attendance report in Skyward Family Access be changed to a different report. We would prefer the report found in Student Management (when clicking the blue i -- demographic information about current student then clicking attendance) to show in Family Access.

  6. Military Connected Registration Date/Start and End Date

    Currently when a parent completes registration (New & Returning), Military Connected data updates including the start and end date per the date registration was completed. We open returning student registration in May during the current school year which causes issues for the current school year's data being that it end dates and/or starts the program within the wrong school year. It would be great if there was a date range for the next school year within configuration. I could enter the school start date and the correct end date for the previous school year.

  8. Academic Eligibility -Auto Generated Letters & Ability to Post to Student & Family Access

    It would be so helpful to have auto generated letters for Academic Eligibility, similar to the auto generated attendance letters. We would also really like the ability to mass post those letters to Student and Family Access.

  9. BUSING MASTER CONFIGURATION

    When editing a student already assigned to a bus stop (on Busing Master) an option to select that student's family 1 or 2 address would be helpful and save time when entering address details in description or stop detail. The bus stops then don't link to the busing addresses screen on the student profile side. This option would also save time.

  10. A "Received Note" button like the "Parent Notified" button in the Attendance Edit Screen.

    This would allow us to mark received excuse notes. Along with this be able to pull a report for those who have actually submitted an excuse note.

  11. Check-In

    Please change the ranges available in all Student Check-In areas (Attendance, Clinic, Discipline & Guidance). It is currently wide open. Meaning, you can choose enter any student who has ever been enrolled in the district. I was able to check-in a student who graduated in 2008 and never attended that particular campus.

  13. Career Plans

    Allow the ability to have the Course Key in the career plans to differentiate between S1 and S2 / regular, honors, or ap course, etc. Our course key tells us that information at a glance and would be helpful to have on the Career Plan screen.

  15. Mass assign obligations

    Could there be a way to mass assign obligations to all students? For example, in order for them to see their new schedule, they first need to turn in Tech Forms for their computers and the parent needs to complete Family Access Updates.
    Also, parents should be able to see obligations in Family Access, so they are aware of what the student needs to complete.

  16. Adjusting Physical template and adding yes/no option instead of no option being to just leave it blank

    Would like to have the option to check yes/no for lead and diabetes screening and add a spot to mark that the parent completed the parent portion of physical Instead of just leaving things blank if they are no. If it is left blank then we don't know if someone just forgot to complete the section/missed the information or if it was actually a no.

  17. Mass assign grade and mark as missing simultaneously for districts that do not give 0's

    Is there any way for your developers to create an addition to the Mass Assign Options that includes a and mark as missing check box right next to the overwrite checkbox (or below it) so that when mass assigning it would auto populate the missing as well? To mass assign a score but also still tag it as missing.

  18. Student identified as a TWIN flag

    It would be nice to have a new field in SMS 2.0 or even better in Qmlativ that would be used to mark the student as a TWIN. I am seeing more and more names that are very similar, if not the same and has the middle name as the different name. Sometimes I cannot tell if two students named Zavion/Zavior, Everkeigh/Everleigh, Ruth Shamar/Ruth Thamar, Da'Mario/Da;Marion, or Aalanah/Aalayah are the same student with a mispelled name or actually twins.

    Illinois now requires the submission of community service hours. We use an outside vendor to gather this data and I would like to be able to Import it to Skyward using a csv file through Skybuild. A new field would need to be created in Skybuild Import in order to do so. Special Programs - Community Service hours

  20. Special education forms should include names of all guardians

    Fields should be added or updated to include all guardian names on all form templates that are sent to guardians. Currently only the names of the primary and secondary guardians (from families 1 & 2) are included. Occasionally there are more than two guardians for a student.
