Confidentiality in Student Info tab
When family 1 guardian logs in to Family Access under the "Student Info" tab can we eliminate the "other families" name from being visible to family 2? My concern is we enter foster home information for students who are in protective custody in family 1. We still enter the parent/guardian information in family 2 because they still have rights to the educational records per the law unless rights have been terminated. When I log in to Family Access as the guardian to a student who has been placed in protective custody the guardian sees the name of the person who…
123 votesHi everyone, Great news, an option has been added to the Family Access District Display Settings called “Do Not Display Other Family Information.” With this option enabled, only the family information associated with the guardian who has logged in will display. The option will default to show the information of all the families associated with the student. This update was completed with PR 3694250 and went out with the October Addendum 4 release on 11/14/2019.

Add automated email for student fees
Add a trigger for "a new fee charge was added"
Parents do not know when new fee charges have been added to their account. It would be nice if an email went to the parent when a new charge has been added.92 votesThank you everyone for your votes and feedback.

Report with Student Photo
There is currently no report to run that includes student name and photo. There is one that runs it as a page per student but even then it doesn't print the photo.
The report is helpful for principals to have a list of students in a set format.87 votesHello everyone! PR 3192582 was completed and shipped with Addendum 7 of the October release. A new Class Seating Chart report has been added to Current Scheduling Reports. When setting up the template, you have the option to include student pictures.

Deleting food service customers
I was cleaning up some old staff. When I deleted them they didn't have any transactions so I was allowed to delete them. But what happened they had a food service balance. I didn receive a message stating are you sure you want to delete which I was but I assumed it wouldn't delete if there was an amount owed. I put in a cs ticket and they said that is how it works. I would like either a warning message that there is a balance or only be allowed to delete zero balance customers.

Expanded Space in Student Indicators
While 12 student indicator spaces is fantastic there are twice that amount of available criteria that could be displayed proving very useful to administrative staff teachers clerical parents and other users of the system. We limit how we use this area right now because some of the uses for us that we'd like to do cannot be implemented because to do so would not leave enough room to achieve the overall objective of this area. We would have to leave a few things out and that makes the certain uses ineffective so we have to scrap the whole idea of…
80 votesGreat news! With PR 4467911 unlimited Student Indicators can now be added in each entity. As a result, when adding/editing Student Indicators, the ability to set a position for the indicator has been removed (grid option). On screens where the indicators display in two rows (such as Student Profile), only the first 12 indicators will display for a student. Clicking on the indicators will display all indicators. If the indicators are displayed on a single line, all indicators will be displayed, even if there are more than 12. This update has gone out with June Addendum 6.

Print Only Username on Schedule
We would like to specify print just the students username and not their password when printing schedules. I attached a screenshot showing that the only option is to print both username and password and not one or the other. We would like this because we are using LDAP to log users into Skyward so we do not use the password that is provided in Skyward. I received this from Skyward Support: I am writing in regards to your question about printing just the username on the schedule. Currently you are only able to print both of them together. You could…

Option to have absence totals be district-wide
We would like to have the option for attendance totals to carry over when a student transfers between one entity and another within the district during the school year. As it stands now attendance is entity specific so the student basically starts over at zero absences when they transfer to a new building. This can lead to the student receiving multiple copies of an attendance letter during the school year or not receiving a letter when they should have received one (based on total attendance throughout the year). We have multiple elementary and secondary schools (and a cyber program) and…

Google Classroom Integration
Find a way to allow for "importing grades" from Google Classroom to Skyward. Integrate the systems through Google Classroom.
65 votesThe Google Classroom integration is live for SMS 2.0! This is based on the OneRoster 1.1 specifications and therefore will only work for Secondary Gradebooks (OneRoster 1.1 does not support standards grading at this time). A district will need to own the LMS/OneRoster API license in order to enable the grade passback components of the API. Please reach out to your district’s Account Manager to inquire about the license.

Student missing assignments
We would like to be able to print a report that only shows assignments that are marked as missing in the gradebook. Currently the Student assignment report is printing any assignment that is past due that does not have a grade. This is very important to the efficiency of our staff as they work with students who have missing assignments.
Please add the ability for us to only print assignments that have been marked as missing in the gradebook so that our reporting to study hall teachers is accurate.62 votesMorning,
The feature will be available within the next addendum. Thank you all again for your votes and comments.

Test Scores in Standards-based report card
Test scores can be added to a custom secondary report card but not a Standards-based Report Card. This function would make the standards-based grading system an easier "sell" to secondary schools as well as giving elementary schools more options for including things like Dibels and NWEA Scores on report cards.
61 votesHi everyone! This functionality is now available for use via PR 1733507 and June Addendum 11 (9/27/2018).

Track Parent Contacts
Part of the Danielson evaluation model is communicating with parents. Could a parent contact tracking system be added to EA+ so teachers can track when they made parent contacts who they contacted notes etc. Then some kind of report or display for administrators to track these parent contacts by teacher? We are currently doing all of this tracking via spreadsheet and it would be great to have it housed in Skyward.

Ability to add Family 2 to the Student Info QP
The Student Demographic Information Report when run as a Quick Print lists guardian information from Family 1 but not Family 2. Could an option be added that would include Family 2 information on this report?
Could there be radio buttons placed under Print Guardian Information to select Family 1 and/or Family 2 to print on this report when you check Print Guardian Information.58 votesGreat news, PR 3373689 has been completed! The Student Demographic Information Quick Print report now has an option to “Print All Additional Family Information.” This option prints the Family and Guardian information for all families attached to a student, instead of just the information for the Primary Family. This update was released with June Addendum 9 (8/30/2018).

Student Roster with Pictures
It would be very helpful if we could print class rosters with pictures from the student side. Right now it is only available through gradebooks.

Add warning or option re: Next Sch Yr and Term Def
Add an option to the Clone Calendar Info in Same Year utility to create the Entity Year if it doesn't exist and create the Term Definitions if they don't exist at any of the entities that the calendar is being cloned to. If this isn't possible display a message that the calendar could not be cloned to the entity because the Entity Year and Term Definitions do not exist.

Identity Tab Legal Name Field Needs to be Searchable
The addition of the new Identity tab with Legal Name field is very helpful in allowing districts to follow OCR requirements. However, the legal name is not searchable in the system. This field needs to be searchable for many clerical reasons. Please make this field searchable as soon as possible.

Food Service Online Application Setup
Within the online Food Service F/R Application there are 15 areas that must be updated regarding meal costs contact information etc. This must be done within each Entity which is a waste of time. It would be helpful if either this was able to be setup at the District level or to have a Clone option to allow the letter to be set up in one Entity and then cloned to other Entities.
50 votesHi Everyone, great news! When cloning Family Access Application Entity Configurations from one entity to another, users can now choose to clone individual applications from the General Information group and will no longer have to clone all the items at once. Also, users can choose to clone just the Online Application aspect of the Food Service Entity Configuration, or they can choose to clone and exclude this data. This update was completed with PR 3083316 and released with October Addendum 7 (12/28/2018).

Teacher Conference Reports - ADD PROC LIST OPTION
It would be helpful to add a processing list option to the Teacher Conference Report so we can do analyses of who is attending by race or other demographic information. This is information our Administrators are asking for and I expect would be helpful to other districts as well.
Districts could analyze if certain demographic groups are not attending conferences and work on ways to improve the situation.49 votesGreat News! Processing lists have been added to the Teacher Conference Report. This update will be available within the next addendum scheduled to be posted on 7/8/2021.
