Translation software
Google Translate used to work with Skyward. Since it no does, it would be great if Skyward built that feature into FA.

Star Time and End Time for On Line Features
Hello:
It would extremely helpful if along with the date for On Line Registrationa and On Line Forms, if there would be a start and stop TIME as well. There is some confusion when choosing the dates as to what time the on line applications will actually start and end or if an administrator wants the application "turned on" per se at 2:00 today and end on Friday at 4:00PM - we are are not able to manage those time requests.
Please advise.
Thank you!

Online Registration Grade Levels
When setting up online registration, we are allowed to limit forms by grade level, however, it is not taking into account the school year that the online registration is for.
For example, we are setting up for 20-21 school year and will be opening long before the 19-20 school year is completed.
The restrict forms for a grade level and grade level displayed on custom forms are using the 19-20 school year grade calculation.
Since we are specifying which school year we are setting up and the system knows which school year is our current school year, it would be…

Allow Parents/Guardians to reset their Family Access Password
Parents and Guardians become frustrated when they are required to contact the school for a Family Access password reset. It would be beneficial for them to have the option to reset their password on their own using a verified email or phone number.

Add notifications of what's new in gradebook for parents (newly graded assignments, etc.)
These are ideas from a parent in our district that I actually think would be fantastic additions for all parents in Family Access since I, too, once had to keep track of a scattered child's assignments. My thought is to have some kind of "what's new" feed in Family Access that would show this information
Here are his ideas:
My son has a history of not turning in assignments. On some of those assignments, he has no recollection until they show up in Skyward as missing. I keep a history of all assignments, when they first show up in Skyward,…

Apply credit balance upon checkout
When a students customer account has a credit balance on it allow the parent to use this credit balance upon check out in Family Access. Currently Family Access does not do a great job with visibility of a credit balance on an account. It should show in the list of current charges/credits so that parents are reminded that the credit exists.

Display Next Year Schedules - Options
Hello:
In working with our schools specifically in setting up the On-Line Registration, the question has come up is if there is a way to display Next Year Schedules ONLY AFTER FEES have been PAID? In the past we have utilized the option in the FA Entity Set Up to check the box that reads: Only Show Schedule After Online Registration Completed however this does not ensure that fees have been paid. Also we have noted the Option at the bottom of the screen to HIDE Next Year Schedule for Selected Students HOWEVER it would be extremely convenient if there…

Mobile ID Card available to Parents in Skyward App
PLEASE make the Mobile ID Card for students available so that it can be enabled on the Family Access side for the Parent App! We need this for the ability to scan when parents come to pick up their students early. Thank you!

Request Changes for Student/Family Information on Mobile App
We live in a "Mobile" world...
Parents are able to request changes to student, family address, family information, emergency contacts, etc. on their web-based Family Access account. Many of our families do not have a computer and use the Skyward mobile app to see their student's information. We would like for parents to have the option to request changes to information from the mobile app.12 votes -
message center
Message Center Alerts
When a family posts a message to a teacher(s), alert the teacher via email. Or have the option to email the teacher directly through Family Access. Teachers are missing messages from the message center because they are not aware a parent sent them.

Open and close time period conferences in family access
It would be great in family access configuration to have a way to set time period open and close for when guardians can sign up for conferences.

Ability to change "Online Forms" label in Family/Student Access
We use our Online Forms for our Co-Curricular and Athletic forms that students have to complete each year. Student's and Parents get confused and either fill out the Online Forms instead of the Online Registration or they complain that they can't find the forms. If we had the ability to rename this label in Family/Student Access like we can for Online Registration and New Student Online Enrollment I think it would be less confusing for parents/students.

Parent absence request
Once the parent submits the absence request and it is approved by admin or staff, the unexcused absence should automatically update, the Skyward admin should not have to manually update the unexcused to excused.

Family Access Responses show Student Name/Family ID Number
When parents use Family Access to ask a question or update a student, the response should show the Student Name or at least the Family ID #. Right now it just shows the email address of the guardian, which causes us to search all the buildings for the correct student.

Need a way to send email reminders to parents who have incompleted returning student registrations
It is impossible to get an accurate list in data mining of parents with incomplete returning student registration (believe me, we've tried - verification status is not an accurate indicator and includes parents who are new to the district who are complete because they have completed new student enrollment). However, we need to periodically email our parents who have incomplete online returning student registration and have no reliable way to do so. We need either an accurate data mining indicator of who is required to complete online registration and has not done so, or a new automated email reminder that…

Add option to use Processing List to turn off schedules in Family/Student Access.
In the Entity Configuration for Family/Student Access, you can turn schedules off for selected students. It would be helpful to be able to use a Processing List rather than selecting one-by-one.

Add Transcript As Option for Student Family Access
The goal is to provide students with quick access to information regarding when and where transcripts have been sent. The intention of this RFE is to free the school counselors of the majority of student requests for this information and to provide the requested information to students as soon as the information is entered into Skyward. The negative impact is students making multiple trips to the counselors' offices to check on the status of their transcript requests. Add transcript as an entity configuration option for students and family.

In Family Access and Student Access separate transcripts from the portfolio area, like report cards are separate.
We would like to use the portfolio area for registration and legal documents. But we do not always want these items displayed in family access and/or student access. But we cannot use the portfolio in this manner because this is the only area custom transcripts display. We can allow report cards to display separately, even though they are technically in the portfolio. Or another option would be to allow us to assign a type to the documents in the portfolio and then have a set up area in family access that lets us designate which types to display.

On line Registration - Completion Status
Our district nurses would like to know if there is a way to flag the On-Line Registration for when guardians complete the process but then actually go back in and make additional changes - especially to health records but this would be helpful as well for all staff so that they are aware that additional changes have been made. Or is it possible once the on-line registration is successfully completed guardians are then locked out or have a view only access to the on-line registration information with a not stating Your On-Line Registration has been completed. For additional changes to…

Add report to track number of families using FA
My district is trying to determine an approximate percentage of families/guardians who utilize Family Access for each entity and in a given time frame. I can run a Login History report but that doesn't give me a count or a comparison to the total number of users for calculating a percent. Please provide a report or data mining utility that will calculate a percentage or will allow a data mining export so we can calculate Family Access Usage based on our own criteria.
