  1. 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.

  2. Mark Online Registration as Verified when Completing New Student Enrollment Mid-Year

    It would be nice to be able to turn on a feature to auto mark as verified when families complete New Student Enrollment mid-year. I have to go in and manually mark them all as verified. Thank you.

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. Our district would like to see the At Risk tab expanded

    I know this would be a programming request, but our Asst Superintendent wanted me to check and see if there was anything in the near future for adding the eligibility requirements for the K-12 KS At-Risk Program into Skyward? If there could be boxes that could be check marked as to why they qualify for this program, it would help tremendously with reporting of this and why the student(s) qualify. I have added a screenshot from the KIDS 23-24 Collection System File Specs.

  20. family data mining by family

    I need a data mine to list the F1G1, F2G1, and all students in the family on the same line. Currently, I would have to do a Vlookup or "remove duplicates" in Excel to get only one listing because it lists the whole family for each student with duplicate info. Unfortunately, it is an automated report that goes to Linkit so I need the report created so that it can go directly to them in the proper format for importing.
