  2. Split "Honor Entity Security For Grading" configuration into 2 separate configurations

    We'd like to have the "Honor Entity Security for Grading" configuration option split into 2 options. One would allow "forward viewing" of grades by entity (something we'd like to disable). The other option would allow "backward viewing" of grades by entity (something we'd like to continue to leave enabled).

  3. Open Attendance for Whole Class

    Teachers would like an "Overwrite All" button or for the "Overwrite" function to be eliminated from attendance taking so that they can simply open their Post Daily Attendance tab, open their class, take attendance, and save it without the added step of overwriting each student individually.

  5. Attach PIMS State Course codes to COURSES not CURRICULUM

    If the PIMS State Course codes were attached to the courses instead of to the curriculum master, it would be possible to create career plans that jive with the ACT 158 Pathways.

  6. Additional Tab in Health Office Visit

    We have an automated email set up to be generated when an absence request is submitted through FA. The message recipients for general staff is the main office AA's and the health room staff. They would like the notification to also generate an email to the student's homeroom teacher.

  8. Add a date range for the report: Print Forms

    Would be nice to be able to add a date range to the PRINT FORMS report.
    Our school does a new I-6 for each progress report. Would like to be able to print just the most recent instead of all of them.

  10. Academic History - School picks the years shown

  11. semester default formula

    If EOC were to be back in time to include in grades: Is there a way to have a separate formula that would average the "initial" S2 Grade (not Final Grade) with the EOC using different percents. Other words, use the initial S2 grade which includes Q3-40%, Q4-40%, SE2-20% and average it at 85% with EOC score at 15% for a final S2 Grade. Then the final S2 grade (with EOC averaged) would be averaged with S1 grade as 50/50 for a FINAL GRADE.

  12. Food Service Application - Consent for Disclosure

    We would like to see the Consent for Disclosure set up in a way where parents can Check No or Yes, then make that part of the application required so that we know that this specific part of the application was seen and completed. If the family completes the F/R application in Skyward they would be required to complete the Consent for Disclosure by either Checking the No box putting in their electronic signature and date, or by clicking the Yes box, but if the Yes box is checked they then would be required to complete which program they give…

  13. textbook

    Textbook Tracking - Option to Let Teachers Submit Textbook Requests:

    Our district would like an option added to the Textbook Tracking Module that would allow teachers to submit requests for additional textbooks throughout the school year. This way not only would our curriculum department receive the request via Skyward, this data would also be in the Module for future reference.

  16. Adding State-EDE number (STN) to teacher Security Group

    Adding State-EDE number (STN) to teacher Educator Access Plus Tab. A majority of our testing software utilizes the student State-EDE number (STN). It would be beneficial if we could have the State-EDE number (STN) placed in another spot or allow access to ONLY the State-EDE number (STN) in the IN/NCLB tab or student profile. Teachers have access to the student's other ID and internal ID but not the STN which doesn't make sense. We do not allow teachers access to the IN/NCLB tab due to student SSNs being attached to that area.

  17. Transfer attendance to different course in the same period

    I would like to be able to transfer attendance between different courses that are offered during the same period when I do a schedule change, the same way I can do when switching sections of the same course. We offer combined classes that are regular and honors for a course, and students switch at the end of the semester to the honors section, and we need to transfer attendance although these are two different courses.

  18. Ability to automate an import in Test Score Import Wizard

    Since STAR scores are imported multiple times a year, it would be helpful and more efficient if Skyward had the ability for users to automate the import process in the Test Score Import Wizard.

  19. Family Access Food Service and Fee Management Paid By (parent name)

    Please add the parent name to the paid by, it just says 'Via Web'. We have split families and both parents have equal rights for the children, they want to see that they paid for food service or the fees. Even on the receipt it doesn't show who paid for it.

  20. pd by in food service

    Nowhere in Food Service does it say who made a payment. It only says Via Web. It does in Fee Management Fee History: Webstore Payment made by (parent name). In Food Service it doesn't say that in the history. Please add this to the history.
