  2. Option to Remove Industry Credential Headers on Transcript if No Data - Same as Option on Test Scores

    Currently, there is an option to remove the headers from the Test Scores section of a custom transcript if a student has no data in the test scores field. We need the same option for the Industry Credentials section of our custom transcript - otherwise it appears as if there is missing information.

    As of right now, we are having to track those students who have info in the associated fields, so that we can build and run separate transcripts for them.

    I have attached a screenshot of the button in the test scores field.

  4. When added students in future scheduling in entry by class it would be very helpful to have NY homeroom as one of the fields .

    When added students in future scheduling classes under the entry by class it would be helpful to have the NY homeroom field that way we can filter to make the process faster.

  5. Textbook Tracker

    We utilize textbook tracker to check out laptops to our teachers and administrators. We have several administrators that are not assigned to a a school entity, and we cannot accurately check out a device to them. It would be very helpful to be able to check out items in entity 000 (district entity) for those who are not assigned to a school.

  6. FBA/BIP State Templates

    It'd be extremely helpful for security if DPI's sample FBA and (mainly) BIP forms were created as templates in Skyward. We currently have them created as district forms, but in order to give staff access to the Behavior Intervention Plan, they'd get access to all district forms, which we can't do, so we end up having to print them and disperse, which also isn't great for security. Could be added as SpEd form templates or do a setup similar to IHPs so the security is separate even though it's an attachment.

  7. Processing List when Printing Indiana Statements

    When printing Indiana Statements it would be quite helpful to be able to use a Processing List instead of manually entering over 700 customer IDs.

  9. 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).

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  15. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
