  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Links to use for importer to portfolio

    Please add the state ede number to the link to use for the portfolio importer. With all the different test report we send to parent if any available link to a student was offered we could import the files. Right now the ACCESS score reports only list the MARSS number (state number) so we cannot link them.

  6. Walk-In Scheduler during year to drop and add new schedule

    It would be helpful in team scheduling especially to be able to use the walk-in scheduler to drop a whole schedule and add it back into a new team without deleting the original class.

  7. Include Bus Route Information on Student Roster and Student Information Report

    It would be helpful to include Bus Route Information on Student Roster and Student Information Report.

    Districts send these reports home at the beginning of the year.

    It would be nice to include this information for parents.

    Thanks

  8. Library Card field added to the 'Skyward Field to Use' in Custom Forms.

    Our district utilizes the Library Card field to track the issued chromebook for the student. We are wanting to create a custom form to handout to students and would like the Library Card field to be available as a 'Skyward Field to Use'. This way the number will automatically populate onto the form.

  12. Endorsement Progress with In Progress

    Allow for endorsement progress to calculate in progress and next year coursework, so the report feature will tell if a student is on track to receive an endorsement. Another option is to allow the career plan to print the "requirements of declared endorsement" met field.

  14. Custom Forms Browse Student Name Key

    We use the custom forms browse screen when creating processing lists of which guardians have/have not signed paperwork. As it is right now when you create a processing list it is an all or nothing list if sorting by signature because the field range is so broad. There is not a way to download a csv, eliminate the signed/unsigned field and upload to processing lists as Name Key / Other ID / State ID are not fields available on this browse. We would suggest adding one of these.

  15. Auto Scheduler

    There needs to be an option to roll-back an Auto Scheduling run to the previous save point. The Schedule Master Save Points only affect the Course Master. There needs to also be an option to revert to a previous point for the actual student scheduling runs.

    We have already built schedules for 85-90% of our students (via Arena Scheduling), and the final scheduling run overfilled course sections, even though we had to box checked to "Close Sections When Filled". The only option we have is to roll ALL THE WAY BACK to requests, which is not an option after the…

  18. Can you add a cut and paste tool to the style toolbar in the message center like in text box toolbar areas.

    Can you add a cut and paste tool to the style toolbar in the message center like in text box toolbar areas. Teachers would like to be able to cut and paste from a Google Document into the message center, but the formatting gets messed up in a direct cut/paste. Other areas of Skyward (ex: Special ed forms) have an intermediary cut/paste tool that allows for a smooth cut/paste process.

  19. SMS - Fees Paid Report - Print by activity instead of just bill code

    The current fees paid report will only let you choose to print bill codes, which will print (for example) all of our athletic fees for that time range. We would like to print just who has paid for a particular sport or co-curricular sometimes.

  20. PIMS C6 Student Updates

    PIMS C6 STUDENT UPDATE PULL: It would be amazing to have a report that shows a list of ONLY students who have had a change to any piece of C6 Student Update template information that needs to be reported and what that information is (like appear in red). If it could also contain new enrollments that would be a plus! We could use it to submit student updates by individual if desired.
