  1. Update Team Conferences with teachers when a course or section is changed such as adding a team to a section

    Update Team Conferences time slots automatically with teachers when a change to a course/section is made such as Allow Conferences and adding a team to a section. So that we don't have to mass delete then re-add. Because sometimes schools notice something is wrong after guardians are already signing up.

    We noticed that Skyward made a change that when team conference time slots have already been added if a course/section is change such as adding a team to a section the students of that section are now automatically added into the available list for those time slots in that team.…

  4. Activities English Learner

    Adding students to Activity based on EL status. When you choose to use the Special Program Link for English Learner, it automatically adds student to an activity group.
    Problem is, Skyward is adding Active and Inactive students in to the group.

    I would like Skyward to adjust their program to only add ACTIVE students to the Activity Rosters.

    We do not exit students from EL when they withdraw to another district or out of country, because even though students leave us, they are still classified as an EL Student.

  6. Food Service Application Federal Wording

    Under Add a Food Service Application we would like the sentence that reads "I do not qualify for benefits or do not wish to complete an application" to be updated to read only "I do not qualify for benefits" and remove the wording that says "or do not wish to complete an application". We would like all families to complete the application if possible and not skip the step to help our school with funding.

  9. Change verbiage on the "Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab

    Under the"Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab, our Florida district would like the verbiage that appears when you click on the question mark to be changed for the "Public" check box to say :
    "The Public flag is normally used to exclude student information from being sent outside the district such as newspapers, Social Media, TV and other media."

  10. Add the WISEid field to Student Browse Views

    Could Skyward,
    1. Include the WISEid in ALL Student Browse/Views
    2. Include a “middle initial” field in ALL Student Browse/Views

    (For background, I asked both Skyward and DPI to confer and come up with a good way for us to compare data from Skyward Student Browse and WISEdash for Districts. It was discussed at their vendor meeting and the resolution was for me to submit a Product Idea, because a project could not be written for it.)

  11. Tardy Kiosk Configuration - "Calc minutes..."

    In the Tardy Kiosk Configuration, there is a section to "*Calc minutes late based on: Period Start Times, Class Start Times, Absent Start Times, Specific Start Time"; however, choosing one of those options doesn't record, or report that "calculated" time anywhere. I'm not sure the purpose of having those options there and it's caused confusion and inefficiency in trying to figure them out. Please remove them or, if they are intended for only a specific states use, please indicate that on the screen so we don't waste time looking at them.

  13. Add demographics to Enrollment Application Processing area

    Can the following demographics be added to the Enrollment Application Processing area: Gender, Local Race, Income Range? We have a district who want to use the 'Create Chart' feature, but would like the above-mentioned demographics in order to use it to fit their needs. This could help others benefit from this tool, as well. Thank you.

  14. Mass Change Course Fees be able to select year and amount

    Under Mass Change Course Fees WS\AD\FM\PS\UT\CC - Have the capability to select the year - for new year - and the amount. Several of our courses have the same amount for fees, workbooks and textbooks. It would be nice to have the ability to mass change as opposed to pulling up each individual course and entering the textbook amount, then the workbook, amount then the fees. A tedious and time consuming activity that could be streamlined.

  15. Read testscores to find the highest for transcripts

    Indiana code now requires that the highest SAT score be included on transcripts. It would be great if Skyward could read the testscores and find the highest to include on the custom transcript.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
