  4. Crosswalk STAAR EOC Test Scores

    Please crosswalk the STAAR EOC test scores. State standards change, and then you have to change the crosswalk area and then we have to learn the new areas. It would be so helpful to not have to worry about this area and would save a tremendous amount of time.

  5. Homeless auto email alert

    Is there a way to have a homeless alert available for automated emails for students who leave our district and return. Per our NM state reporting, once a student has been identified as homeless in the school year, they are homeless for the entire year regardless of whether they are enrolled consecutively or leave and return. I did see we could turn on the H indicator for all students regardless of their status but that doesn't work as if a student was homeless last year, it does not carry over. Is it possible to add an identifier for Homeless?

  6. Non Binary Legal Gender

    Add Non-Binary to "Gender" drop down. We have a court document that says a student's legal gender is non binary. We only have Female or Male to choose from. Since it's now the legal gender, it doesn't fall under the Gender Identity area.

  11. Show weighted and unweighted GPA

    In the GPA summary section of a student profile, we would like to see an unweighted GPA as well as the weighted GPA that we use. Many students need an unweighted GPA for scholarship or college applications and it must be figured out manually which is time-consuming and leaves room for errors.

  17. FAMILY ACCESS ATTENDANCE

    *The suggestion was to only show and give the school day time options vs. the full 24 hour period since so many of our parents don't notice the a.m. / p.m. times especially 12:00 a.m. & 12 p.m. There are numerous errors due to this.
    *Also the "All Day" box, is there a way to highlight, make it larger or change the default for the "All Day" box. It is kind of shadowed out and I don't believe most parents even notice it.

    Please let me know if these issues can be resolved.

    Thanks,

  18. Skybuild for Special Programs for Early Education

    I receive a file from my early childhood direct that was exported from Eleyo. That data is already coded there and would be helpful if I could import it into Skyward for state reporting. I looked at Skybuild but the only options for import under the special programs is Method of Instruciton and Migran.
    It would be really helpful to be able to import the special programs record and the parent info record from my Eleyo file.

  19. Hide Bus Stop Information from 2nd Family

    We would like to have the ability to hide bus stop information from the 2nd family. We have a custody issue that requires us to allow parent #2 to see student information, other than their address and phone number with parent #1. Through busing information, parent #2 was able to see where parent #1 and the student lived.

  20. Mass add students to course/class utility needs to allow deselecting students who do not need tobe added to the target course.

    The mass add students to course/class utility needs to allow deselecting students who do not need to be added to the target course. It would save time and there would not be a need for complicated work arounds that can affect credits and gpas.
