  1. Add the graduated Y/N and Grad Date from profile as an object on student transcripts.

    Currently when we print a transcript for a senior that is credit deficient or a dropout, the graduation date is populated from the projected grad date object. This is then very misleading on these transcripts as the student has not graduated. It seems to make more sense to pull the grad date from the profile tab, that way students that are credit deficient or drop outs, would not populate a graduation date. Thank you for considering.

  2. Add Third (3rd) meal option

    Please add a 3rd meal Service option. We have schools that offer the Supper Program and Skyward doesn't have that option. Thank you!

  5. Ability to Select Banners on Custom Forms Requested

    There are currently four pieces of information that will print on a student custom form. They are name, gender, grad yr/grade and other ID. Our district would like the ability to select the information we want on that banner. It would be helpful to remove other ID, which is just a local code, and add state ID and PIN which may be helpful to other districts receiving our forms.

  6. Hall Pass requested via student access

    Students who leave class need to be tracked because too many times they end up doing things against the rules when they leave the room. It would be helpful if they could request a hall pass on their phone and the teacher could approve. The student would then have a hall pass on their phone that they could take and show staff if anyone were to ask where they were supposed to be when outside the classroom

  7. updated RTI custom form templates

    We would like for the RTI custom form template options to match the custom form template options on the 3.0 sped forms. Please see the attachment to see the options in the sped forms, that we are requesting on the RTI forms. Currently the RTI forms are not being utilized to the max, as they are not formatted as we need.

  9. Standard Transcript - Additional Grade Buckets

    We are on a block schedule and need 6 grade buckets on our transcript - T1, T2, S1, T3, T4, S2. The standard transcript is exactly what we need, sorted by subject, but it only allows 5 grade buckets. Can one more be added?

  10. Allow Comments for Skills in the SBG

    The current standards based gradebook allows for comments to be added for a term, a Subject, or an event. Comments for Skills is missing. A Skill often describes a specific task (i.e. I can ...) and is exactly where our teachers need to enter comments on why students may not be achieving said Skill.

  11. Discipline Auto-Emails

    Currently a discipline email can be triggered by specific Actions on the save, but we'd like the email to be setup as a reminder on the "to be served" date so the email reminds the student of detentions and suspensions.

  12. pass fail grades

    On standards grading the Pass/Fail only applies to Subjects and Skills not the overall semester/term grades. If you do not use the P grade mark for any other Grade Mark Group you currently need to change the Grade Mark to be an "other" override and then the teacher would need to override the Term grades. Otherwise you will need to continue to manually change the term grades to P/F grade marks manually.

    But P/F works differently with secondary gradebooks; correctly appears on the report card. We would like to request programming for P/F grades within standards gradebooks and report cards…

  14. Texas- Add grade level to the pre-defined fields for the Family Access Absence Notifcation Request

    Texas - Add grade level to the pre-defined fields for the Family Access Absence Notification Request. Adding the entity that the student attends would be very helpful. This would allow the attendance clerks to quickly identify their students should there be more than one attendance clerk on a campus.

  15. Pennsylvania Graduation Pathways

    Is there any plan on making it so Pennsylvania's graduation pathways can be entered for students in the Skyward system? It would be nice if it could automatically pull information such as SAT score, Keystone, etc. when it is imported into the system. Even if it needs to be entered manually that would be better than nothing. That way we have a way to see what pathway students are taking to graduate.

  17. Ability to automate an import in Test Score Import Wizard

    Since STAR scores are imported multiple times a year, it would be helpful and more efficient if Skyward had the ability for users to automate the import process in the Test Score Import Wizard.

  18. Fee Management Configuration Configure Auto Email Ability to Add Fee Comments as Pre-Defined Field

    We send parents an auto email message when student has a misc tech fee for Chromebook damages or replacement. I know that we could create more codes one for each of the various types, but this message just has the amount of $100 for the tech fee and with such a large amount parents tend to call student accounts when they get this message before they look at making the payment in RevTrac with the comment.

  20. Ability to Filter by Semester in Entry by Class or Activity

    When entering attendance from substitutes using the "Entry By Class" feature, it would be great when filtering classes if I could also filter the class by semester. Currently I can filter by Active/Inactive courses, period, room #, teacher name, etc. But not by semester.
