  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  7. 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.

  13. 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,

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Assignment score distribution reporting

    A way for a school to report on the assignment score distribution percentages by school, teacher or class. Also multiple years. So instead of just running a report on the number of F's. A report that can look for students that earned 50%-59% overall for the class. Currently the only way to look at that is by expanding the individual teacher or class in the EA+\Teacher Tracking.

  18. Sections of classes being able to be set up for conference not just the whole course

    It would be awesome if each section of a class can choose to be set up for allow for conferences. We have our exploratory classes set up for 2 sections, one MWF the other T, Th because we pull some kids out for specials, some kids are then in both sections using only one to do the grading. So currently when we set up the conferences both sections show for the parent, we would like for it to only pull for one section.

  20. Special Education -Add an Event Auto Email for when an IEP or Eval is Unlocked

    It would be very helpful to have the option to add an Event Auto Email option for when an IEP or Evaluation is UNLOCKED. Currently, there is an option for when they are LOCKED but not for unlocking them. For districts that allow special ed staff the security to unlock them, it would be a great feature for a director, school psych, admin assistant, etc... to get a notification that someone has unlocked an IEP/Eval so they are aware and if needed, they can verify that there is justification for unlocking it.
