  1. Need to export F1 and F2 information in separate record line for Transfinder Transportation Export/Import

    Using Transfinder transportation software, we need to be able to export a separate record for Family 1 and Family 2, so that Transfinder can assign bus routes for both addresses for a student.

    Right now only one address is being exported for students with two families so only one set of stops can be created and imported.

  4. Survey edit error reports option to print error decriptions at the end of the format and export function to Excel

    Error reports are lengthy due to printing each error description and overwhelms school staff. If they could export to excel they could manage the reports better and sort and view by error numbers. Plus putting the error description sheet separately so they can choose to print it or not.

  6. Medicaid Consent default to blank instead of NO

    Update the Medicaid Consent on Student Profile > Special Ed > Other SE tab to default to blank. There is no way to run a report to see which parents we need to contact and which parents said no.

  7. Add Provider field to Entry by Student Browse, Student Intervention View

    Staff that are designated the Provider for the Students Intervention need to be able to easily locate their students to update their intervention records. Currently they would need to run a report to identify their students and locate them in the Browse. If a new column could be added for Provider, they would easily be able to filter the students they are responsible for.

  8. Allow fields created in one custom report to be pulled into another custom report.

    I understand user created fields in custom reports are unique to the individual form but having the ability to pull those fields into other reports would be a timesaver. Here is an example from our district.

    Parents list their previous school and contact information on one of our enrollment custom forms. I would like to pull those fields into another custom report - student record request, so creating a request for records could be an automated process.

  10. Automated emails

    Automated email options to include changes to Health Condition in addition to IHP. There may be conditions that need to be noted but do not necessarily have a treatment attached to them requiring an IHP.

  11. Offense Time Not to default to 12:00 A.M.

    When entering an Offense within the Student's Profile or Discipline section (not from teacher's Gradebook), offense time should be blank and require user to enter time instead of defaulting to 12a.m. Alternatively, at least default to system date if blanking out and making required isn't doable.

  12. Mass change default FamilyAccess Calendar display

    I would like District Calendar Configuration to make changes to the Calendar in Family Access. I want to be able to change the default colors for events in the Family Access calendar, without having the guardians to manually change those on their own.

  13. Update Prior Balance Utility

    is it possible to add some options to the "Update Prior Balance" utility? Under Utility Ranges, an option to zero out current year balance added to the dropdown. Also, an option to add an individual payor selection to the range parameters. And lastly, an option to add a note to all affected accounts when this utility is run to show that the zero balance is due to account being sent to collections.

  14. Create a sample for negative accounts being sent to collections

    Create something similar to verification sample maintenance for managing negative lunch accounts being sent to collections. This way updates and notes can be added to all accounts in one place instead of going into each individual payor account.

  17. State Reporting Extract Should Report SE Exit with Program Code

    All Student Special Ed information including Program and Disability should report in the collection following the student's SE Exit.

    This is required by the State Of Michigan.

    Currently this information must be manually added to the Maintain area or directly in MSDS.

    Please expedite this change.

  19. Career Plan – Remove both semester courses with one click

    We are setup with semester courses which are grouped when displayed on the plan. When making a schedule change and removing a course, we click the “drop down” on the group and then “Remove <course> from the plan” twice. We would like to click this once and have it remove both semesters at the same time.

  20. customize columns as in filters for ALL screens especially office to class/activities.

    Please make all the windows adjustable to a custom view. Column width is the biggest issue. Especiall in the "office to class/activies. There are many, almost all windows are adjustable, but they do not stay that way from student to student etc. Since we all use different info and have different amount of class periods we don't have to continue to adjust and modify around columns we don't use.https://skyward.maps.k12.wi.us/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsSky/satndbrws019.w
