  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  6. Automated Email

    In the automated emails, have an NSOE Application that will look at the Stage Code and based on that code send an email to parents. Like applications that are missing required documentation. Right now we email parents individually, it would be so helpful if this was set up automatically.

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  11. 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…

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. 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.
