  1. Update CPR Instructions Peace Officer Met Dates

    Add the option to update the CPR Instruction and Peace Officer Interaction met dates under the Mass Assign Graduation Information utility. These are now state requirements for all graduating seniors. If the option is not added a campus will have to manually enter the dates into 2 fields for all seniors. This will be very time consuming and leave room for missing data. (Please see the attached PDF documents for supporting data)The expected outcome would be the edition of the option to update the CPR Instruction and Peace Officer Instruction met dates under the Mass Assign Graduation Information utility.

  2. Add a way to change/replace a planned curriculum

    Often when working on a Career Plan you need to swap out one Curriculum for another. This would work similarly to the Change Section concept in scheduling where you could remove and add a planned curriculum in one workflow.

    Great news, PR 3635389 has been completed! Career Plan Cards were updated to allow curriculum to be updated on Career Plan Cards that do not have an associated Student Class record. This project was released with June Addendum 10 (9/13/2018).

  3. Display credit total in grade column ofCareer Plan

    It would be extremely beneficial if we could see at a glance the total number of credits by year requested by a student in their career plan. This would help quickly identify those students who selected enough courses.

  4. Allow mutiple career plan templates per student

    Problem: It is impossible to build templates that cover every student's 4 year plan as the career plan module is currently designed. The reason is that they may be taking an advanced math/science track and a core English track and any variety of endorsement option. Without pre-built templates this module is unusable by anyone but counselors who know the course guide inside and out.
    Solution: Make the career plan templates multi-select when you click Maintain. We could then build an advanced core and modified track for each of the core curriculum areas (Math Science Social Studies and English) as well…

  5. Update Skyward's PGP to be HB 5 Compliant

    Based upon the state mandate for HB 5 that all students are required to have a PGP and adds that it must be available through the electronic student record system I am requesting and enhancement to the existing PGP in Skyward to be HB 5 compliant. Many districts have contracted with outside vendors to provide the 4-year plan part of the PGP however smaller districts do not have the financial means to afford an additional software and the programming staff to make it integrate with Skyward. Also the current PGP does not include the new Foundation Graduation plans with Endorsements…
