  2. Mass importing the student pictures on an IHP

    On our IHPs for students, there is a merge field for the student picture. Because new pictures were uploaded mid year, when the nurse prints this plan now, no picture shows up on the plan. They can go in manually on each plan and "reimport" the merge field but with some schools having over 100 plans this can be a tedious process since they have already done this beginning of this year. Is there a way to "mass" update a merge field so school/nurse can see the student's picture?

  4. Customer Meal/Payor Balance Statements should be printed in student's home language

    Customer Meal/Payor Balance Statements should be printed in student's home language. We are required to provide any documents submitted to families in a translated version if requested. At the very least, statements should be able to be translated to Spanish.

  5. Assign Special Grade Mark Groups by Course Type

    When mass assigning special grade mark groups, it can be done by Dept, Subject, Course or Teacher. It would be nice to do be able to do it by Course Type. We have our certain types of classes that should all be marked pass/fail, but we have to assign that grade mark group by student and can't mass assign it to all alternative classes.

  6. In the Fee Management Student Receipt, delete Tax Paid and add Date before Code.

    To help clarify the fees to parents, the date of when the fee was added to their student's account should be visible on the student's receipt before the Bill Code. Since we do not charge student taxes, the Tax Paid column can be deleted.

  8. Grades Tab/Family & Student Access - Consitent with Bolded / Not Bolded Grades

    It would just make things less confusing if the Grades Tab and Family/Student Access were consistent with posted/non-posted grades. Currently, in the grades tab, posted grades are not bold and non-posted grades are green and bold. In family & student access, posted grades are black and bold and non-posted grades are not bold.

  9. More functionality for displaying different student name

    When in GradeBook allow the user to select if they want both the Identity(Legal) name and the Name, AKA field to appear on the screen and be able to do the same on the reports. Would like the Name, AKA to be in () after the Identity Name.

  10. Teacher Widgets for Long Term Substitutes

    Teacher Widgets option for Long Term Substitutes working on campus. Currently Skyward setup the teacher box must be checked on the staff record. Requesting that the widgets be available if the substitute box is checked instead since this is how they have to be reported on all PEIMS submissions.

  11. Create more time tracking features in Guidance

    Allow for entries not attached to a specific student. This would allow for large group guidance lessons or non-counseling activities to be tracked to help fulfil the Texas state requirement for counselors to track their time spent in counseling versus non-counseling tasks.

  12. Quicker way to tie a Curriculum Key to multiple Courses in multiple years

    It would be nice if there was a utility much like the "Mass Create Curriculum Master Records" but that would simply tie any course without a Curriculum number to the appropriate Course Key Number under the district-wide entity. Rather than going in line by line and entering missing data. This would be just to clean up what others have failed to either notice or enter when creating a new course. I feel this would save time while also helping to make sure data is as cleaned up as possible. Currently, the only solution to this issue is going in course…

  13. Add Classroom Referral field added to Skybuild so classsroom referrals can be removed from discipline referral exports.

    Discipline referrals that are actually classroom referrals are currently exported as actual discipline events because the field is not available to alienate the entries.

  14. Prevent Duplicate MARSS numbers in the system

    We would like skyward to block individuals from adding a student if the MARSS number is already assigned to someone in the system vs just sending a warning to not proceed. We have seen in increase in MARSS #'s duplicated on students. As well has duplicate profiles because this message is either being ignored or missed. This would be very helpful!

  17. Positive Attendance red "stop screen"

    In Pocket PaC, if a student is scanned into the library, student resource center, etc., when they should actually be in their math class, you get a red "stop screen" that alerts the staff scanning the student's ID that the student should be in class at that time. Positive Attendance doesn't have this feature so those scanning students into a location aren't made aware that the student should be in class. Staff cannot check every student's schedule to verify whether a student should be allowed entry into the location when they have a line of students at the door.

    Please…

  18. Food service balance scan

    Is there a way that a student could scan their ID (like a price check at a grocery store) and see their current food service balance? I realize Families and students can see this in the Skyward Family Access app. This option would be made available to students as they start to walk through the line to check their current balance, and see what type of purchase they can make.

  19. Adding a Misc subset category to choose for Student Indicators.

    We are using the Misc tab under Special Programs to indicate different categories for student observation. Using this we would like to have indicators show for students.

    I was trying this out in our training database and was able to add in an indicator for Supplemental Accelerated Instruction with a green 4 and Safe Team Review with a purple 1. However, it gave a student both indicators as represented in the attached pictures even if they only had one of the categories.

    When using the Activity Indicator I can select differnt ones to where I could add multiple different indicators…

  20. Adding "All Area Access Login / Web Login / Mobile Login as a user to Security Group"

    When setting up Security Group Access levels, specifically for "Web Product Setup" There is no way to assign the ability for a user to have "All Areas Login / Mobile Login" without granting that user System Wide Access in Product setup. Would be nice to have this ability select-able as a option in Security Groups for secretaries that are trying to login to a teacher account or family account without needing to have the complete product setup available to them.
