  1. Exclude Zero Balance Due from Indiana Statements but Include Credit Balance statements

    When printing the Indiana Statements it would be helpful to exclude ONLY the truly Zero Balance Due statements. If I un-select the Option "Print statements with zero balance" it does eliminate those, but it also then does NOT print statements for accounts with a Credit Balance. If I run the report wide open, I get Credit Balance statements and a ton of Zero balances. Currently I'll have to run 2 sets of statements. 1. For just regular balances >= .01 2. For credit balances <= .01

  2. Can we suggest having the option to add a directional field as a suffix for the addresses in Q? Our districts feel it is very important that

    We would like to propose the addition of a directional field as a suffix for the addresses in Q. It is crucial for users to have this suffix field since they need it to match the SIS with the E911 files provided by the counties. Without the directional suffix field, they are unable to achieve an accurate match.

  3. Teacher Access - IEP Forms

    We created an IEP form that would be used as both a summary of a student intervention, as well as a tool for progress monitoring. The form is similar to the internal form that can be created in the RTI module of Skyward.

    The form can be created by the IEP case manager and tailored to the student's needs. It can also be viewed in educator access plus by the teachers; however, we are unable to give teachers editing access to this form so that they can easily put in data for progress monitoring. I inquired to see if this…

  4. Ability to check all classes when adding an assignment

    For teachers with a lot of classes it would be helpful if there was an option to check All Classes when Adding an Assignment. If they class is grayed out do to it not matching with length or category the check all classes would skip them and only select matching classes.

  5. Ability to hide previous ended classes in Add Assignment with gradebook.

    Ability to hide previous ended classes in Add Assignment with gradebook. With teachers that have a lot of classes such as semester, tri or quarter their can be a lot of classes that have ended on the Add Assignment screen and they have to scroll down to be able to view all classes and check the boxes for the current classes if they want to add an assignment to them as well.

  8. Skyward Activity Roster Not recognizing Paid Activity Fees

    You can mass assign fees if they're not assigned already for general fees.
    Is there a way to incorporate that with Activity Rosters?
    When we enable our parents to pay prior to roster assignment Skyward still wants to assign the paid student an activity fee.

  9. I have created some Custom Family Forms and the Forms can't be printed. Need to be able to get them printed.

    I have created some Custom Family Form that are part of our registration process and the parents fill out on Online Registration. I need to be able to print them out. Skyward does not give me the access to print them. If it gives me the access to create them I would like to be able to print them out too.

  10. skyward messaging

    We use a third-party vendor to communicate with families and guardians. It would be nice to configure the message center so that staff cannot contact families through Skyward but still can contact staff and/or students through Skyward.

  11. 504 module similar to SE

    I think it would be much more user friendly if the 504 module was more similar to that of the Special Education Module. Using entry by student and clicking through each of the dropdowns instead of being able to search and see a clear organized file for the student like you can in the SE module. The current dropdowns in the entry by student area could be made into the side tabs similar to the SE module. Is there a reason that the current 504 layout is so different than SE?

  12. Clone 504 forms within same school year

    It would be helpful to be able to clone 504 forms within the same school year of their creation. Right now, you are only able to clone forms from prior years, but I have had staff members who have wanted to be able to clone within the same school year.

  15. Add iPad Serial Number under Web Access

    Student iPads are currently managed in a separate system and are not available for all that need the information to view. It would great to import the serial numbers from the iPad management system to the student's web access information.

  17. Auto Delete Birth Certificate Attachments

    As a part of WI Statewide General Records Retention, there are certain documents/attachments that we are not supposed to keep on file (like a birth certificate.)
    We would still want parents to upload their attachments to their NSOE, but would like the ability to decide if a certain attachment type like "Lease" could get saved to portfolio, while an attachment type of "Birth Certificate" would NOT get saved to portfolio.

  18. KS - When exporting students for KIDS collection, add button to select by Processing List.

    When submitting TEST records for ELL Kelpa testing, it would be handier, faster and less likely to skip or add wrong student if there is a Use Processing List button like so many other reports and processes. Right now, students can only be selected by grade level or individually. It takes a lot of time to enter 30+ records individually and they're not all in the same grade.

  19. Space to add more than 5 locker combs

    Space to add more locker combs. We have locks for lockers that have 7-8 combs. Currently Skyward only allows 5 combs to be entered so we have to skip the combs that we can not enter into the system.

  20. Latitude and Longitude

    Is there way to get latitude and longitude for student addresses? We are wanting to see re-zoning would affect the schools in our district. Using latitude and longitude would allow us to attach students to those addresses and look at the over all picture such as discipline, attendance, and etc.
