More Space for Customize Bar in Student's Profile
The customizable area that stays on the top of each of student's screen is very helpful to users to quickly see information useful to them. It would be helpful to add the Team information to this area so that those that use Teaming could quickly see what team the student is on since many times that guides schedule times lunches (that are not put on schedules) and other matters in the building. Without this information available we've been attempting to use the student indicators however those are not easy to populate and keep populated correctly and we do not have enough indicators left for this type of use. Anyone using Skyward and Teaming has to continually click off the tab they are working on and move to the Entity Tab using several clicks and then scroll down to the bottom to find the team number then click back to where they were working...
Also my district has had requests to expand this area to a two line customizable area to fit more of the pertinent information so that you would not have to click to so many different areas to find basic information. Each person's use is different but many have 'wished' there was just a little more room to add another like. It does take time and effort to gather information that you could have at your fingertips for each type of use. For Example: If you were on the Attendance Screen most of the day you could have Gender Race Counselor Advisor Other ID Phone numbers Guardian and Disc Officer available. Knowing this information would help quickly make decisions regarding attendance while you are entering it on the Attendance Screen instead of having to click over to the entity screen the family screen etc.

It would also be great if we could choose to display the student's gender identity if we want to.
