Teacher - Mass Enter Attendance - Virtual Present
Indiana teachers who teach students virtually must now enter Virtual Present each day for each student. Since Skyward is hard coded to mark students Present, it will lead to a great deal of inaccurate data.
We can now add additional columns for teachers on their attendance page.
It would be great if teachers could click on the Virtual Present header to have it auto fill Virtual Present for all students.
To add some complexity, we also are currently in Stage 4. This means 1/2 of the students are virtual Mon and Tue, the other 1/2 are virtual Thu and Fri…10 votesThank you for the feedback! With the release of June Addendum 9 (10/1/2020), PR 4495470 has added a Select All option within the header of each attendance option/column setup for teacher use on the Attendance by Name screen. With this, teachers can click on the link to mass apply the appropriate option to all students, make any minor modifications as needed, and save their class attendance.
In addition, PR 4506708 was completed in Addendum 9 to make the MOI column sortable. In the event you have Method of Instruction records set to differentiate these students, teachers can sort these students together.
I hope these new options assist teachers in their daily attendance entry, but please let us know any other feedback on the topic. Thank you!

Need to be able to populate attendance based on Student Wellness screener fails/blanks
We need an attendance link/update utility between the wellness screen and the attendance screen. We already have a "failed screener" absence reason. We'd love to auto-update attendance as screener fails are entered with that code. That way a teacher who is taking attendance in any period can see if a screener-failed student is still present in class and ask them to head to the office/nurse to leave school.

Add Processing List to Period Detail and Summary Attendence Reports and 'Today's Date' for scheduling the report
Teachers are now able to go back and edit attendance if students submitted work by 11:59 pm in all of Texas. There is no report that can be run that allows the user to default to "today's date" and allows a Processing list to be used. We need to add the Processing List feature to the "Period Detail" attendance report or the ability to add "today's date" as a setting for the "Attendance Detail or Summary" report. This is the only way we can set up absent reports that can run on a scheduled task. This is a critical need…

Link Calendar to Attendance for Emergency Days
Currently when we have an emergency day (snow day, cold day, etc), we need to manually go into each entity and delete out attendance for pre-arranged absences, etc. When editing the calendar for these days, it would be much more efficient and so helpful if a pop-up could ask if we want to delete student attendance for specific/all entities/schools.

Giving teachers capability to take previous days attendance for class and not individually
Our teachers will be taking attendance for a school day the following day. We are doing Asynchronous Remote which gives the student until Midnight to log in.
When the teacher logs in to take attendance it pulls up the current day and they are having to click on each individual student to record the previous day.
Is there a way for them to mark the class as a whole for the previous day?13 votes -
PERFECT ATTENDANCE
PERFECT ATTENDANCE: Date AND Period Specific
Currently, skyward does not have a way to verify TSDS report PDM3-130-007. We need to be able to pull a report that ties to funding only and something that is date specific.13 votes -
Average Daily Attendance Report
A report that our administration offices would find useful and beneficial is to be able to run an attendance report that could show the average daily attendance by date - specifically a report that could be run to show the following information:
Daily Absence Total
Daily Absence Percentage
Daily Membership - Enrollment Total for the day
Average Daily Attendance (ADA)
Average Daily Membership (ADM)Ranges to run by Grade Level and by Building and possibly homeroom
Options to Run Student Detail or just TotalsIt would be great to be able to run this report at a district level. This…

Automatic email to parents to clear unexcused absences
It would be extremely helpful to have an automatic email go out to parents if an absence has not been excused within a week of their absence. I understand there is an email option parents can sign up for in Family Access but many of our parents don't use this.

WS\OF\AT\PS\UT\UY
The Update Attendance History YTD Totals utility (WS\OF\AT\PS\UT\UY) does not allow updating or cloning from year to year. You cannot update it for a new year or clone it.
This means the utility and scheduled task must be recreated every school year, for every entity. This is not practical, especially for large districts.9 votes -
Daily Attendance and Eligibility for Athletic Participation
Are athletes eligible to participate in sports based on attendance? We currently have an Absence Occurrence Report scheduled to run daily against a Processing List. The task goes to head coaches to show students' attendance for that day. There currently is no option for "Today's Date" in this report, so our staff have to update the date on the reports each day--which gets cumbersome. An alternative to selecting "Today's Date" would be to add an option on the Day Summary to run against a Processing or Activity List.

Attendance letter template assign to a list of students without scheduling the letters
We have our scheduled attendance letter templates set up to create and send a letter to parents once a student reaches a threshold of six unexcused absences. This letter states that the parent will need to report to the school for a mandatory conference at a set date and time to discuss their student's truancy issues and what can be done to resolve them. However, some of these parents don't show up for this meeting and then those students are sent home with a letter stating that they are on an overnight suspension until his or her parent shows up…

Attendance Mail Merge
Similar to the mail merge in discipline, if you can create a freeform that will allow to create documents that pull student information directly from the student profile.
This will be useful for all PA users in completing school attendance improvement plans which are required by the state. Users can create a standardized template that uploads fields with the student information.

LETTER ATTENDANCE TYPE
Attendance Letters are sent by TYPE code only. We need the ability to send Attendance Letters by Type AND/OR Reason Codes. TYPE It works great for unexcused absences... but when we use the letters for CREDIT DENIAL WARNING based on 90% attendance, we need to pull by REASONS instead of Type because the 90% reason includes excused absences (dr appt, college visits, bad weather, military enlistment visit, etc. etc.--there are many).

Tardy Kiosk Configuration Options.
Add configuration options to allow the absent type/reason to follow the bell schedule. The bell schedule allows you to have a class start time and an absent time.
i.e. They are marked tardy if absent less than 10 minutes and marked absent if they are more than 10 minutes.

Delete Attendance Letters
It would be so much easier to have secretaries delete attendance letters that have already generated if a student turns in the appropriate excuse. It is too risky to give them access to the Utility to Maintain because of the "Delete ALL Attendance Letters" option. We'd like to have the delete button right on the student profile- Attendance- Letters tab.

days present
It would be helpful to have a field for attendance: Total Days Possible( based on students entry date) that could be added to Custom Report Cards and Transcripts. At the end of the year/semester it would be extremely helpful to see how many days a student was absent out of a total number of days possible based on their entry date.

Renaming Existing Custom Attendance Letters without cloning
There are times we may need to rename an existing custom attendance letter without editing the content, such as we do with report templates at times, however, the only option is to clone/rename/delete the letter that is being renamed. Can the option be added to change the name of an existing custom attendance letter as needed? AT Letter>Config>select/edit - update the name?

Attendance taken by Alternate Instructor
When attendance is take by the Alternate Instructor. the primary instructor is still getting an email that they have not taken attendance. We would like to be able to have the Alternate Instructor record attendance without receiving this type of email for the Primary Instructor when technically the attendance for this course has already been taken.

Add 'Other Id' to Absence Occurrence Report.
Add 'Other Id' to Absence Occurrence Report. At the moment the only identifier in this report is the student key and the student name. Adding this will help in better tracking attendance and comparing student attendance improvement over time.
