    Update skybuild imports to include schools where transcripts were sent information.

    Date Sent
    School Name

  3. Add non-cte industry credentials/work-based experiences to the transcript

    Currently, you can only add the Career/Tech Ed industry credentials and work-based credentials to the transcript. We are required, in PA, to add the non-cte industry credentials and work-based experiences to the transcript, especially since it directly affects the pathway to graduation.

  5. Standard Transcript - Additional Grade Buckets

    We are on a block schedule and need 6 grade buckets on our transcript - T1, T2, S1, T3, T4, S2. The standard transcript is exactly what we need, sorted by subject, but it only allows 5 grade buckets. Can one more be added?

  6. semester default formula

    If EOC were to be back in time to include in grades: Is there a way to have a separate formula that would average the "initial" S2 Grade (not Final Grade) with the EOC using different percents. Other words, use the initial S2 grade which includes Q3-40%, Q4-40%, SE2-20% and average it at 85% with EOC score at 15% for a final S2 Grade. Then the final S2 grade (with EOC averaged) would be averaged with S1 grade as 50/50 for a FINAL GRADE.

  7. pass fail grades

    On standards grading the Pass/Fail only applies to Subjects and Skills not the overall semester/term grades. If you do not use the P grade mark for any other Grade Mark Group you currently need to change the Grade Mark to be an "other" override and then the teacher would need to override the Term grades. Otherwise you will need to continue to manually change the term grades to P/F grade marks manually.

    But P/F works differently with secondary gradebooks; correctly appears on the report card. We would like to request programming for P/F grades within standards gradebooks and report cards…

  9. Add National Recognition Program to FTE/Diploma Tab

    College Board has added a new National Recognition Program. We would like it added to the FTE/Diploma tab in Student Management under the National Merit Scholar selection. It would need a drop down box with four selections:
    African American Recognition Program
    Hispanic Recognition Program
    Indigenous Recognition Program
    Rural and Small Town Recognition Program

    File from the College Board is attached as well as an image of the FTE/Diploma tab with the area we would like it added to.

  10. Early Grad Class Rank

    When a student graduates a full year early, there is no way to include them in the class rank for the cohort that they are actually graduating with. This is due to DPI requiring that they stay in their same cohort. I had to find a workaround to get these students to be included. It would be nice if there was a dropdown or field for "Grad Year for Rank" that could be 12, even though they are still in 11.

  11. Grading & Attendance Summary Report - Add Included Activities to Report

    This reports allows the user to choose certain activities, but the activity is not listed on the report. Adding the activity to the report will be very helpful when more than one activity is included. This will eliminate running the report per activity.

  12. Add the ability for custom district report cards to be emailed along with the option to be posted to portfolio.

    We still print and mail report cards home, it would save us a great deal of time and money if we had the ability to send the report cards to email, allow us to select Home email and family 1 or 2 Guardian email addresses. Give us the option to send Via email and/or post to portfolio.

  13. Ability to Mass Delete templates by date for Report Cards/Progress Reports

    I have so many Report Card/Progress Report Templates that must be deleted and i have to delete each one. I have one for the report card, one for the upload to the portfolio for RC, one for Progress Reports and one to mass upload to the portfolio. That is possibly 4-6 per year for all 40+ campuses.

  15. Automated emails to activity staff when students grades drop.

  16. Have GLO mass change unique to entity

    When using mass add to change the GLO for student records it's changing it for all enrollment records, not just for a specific entity. With needing different GLOs for EC, EE, PS, etc. it would be helpful if you changed the GLO for only that entity record, not all. If you ran it from 000 it could/would change the GLO for all records. Having to hand change all records to EE or EC or HK on individual enrollment records it time consuming and a hassle to be compliant with ed-fi.

  17. Academic Areas - Please take away cross-entity ability to see/edit/delete

    It would be very helpful if the academic areas was only available to view per entity, editing is only allowed in entity subject/skill was connected to, subjects/skills are only available for other entity to clone and not for them to edit or delete, and/or a "canned filter" is available to filter out other entities.

    Example: Currently, if our high school secretaries go into the academic areas they are able to edit and delete the subjects and skills entered in the elementary entity. If the high school adds academic areas they are mixed right in with the elementary ones. Also if…

  18. Return the option to DISPLAY BY GRADING PERIOD in Course Length area

    DISPLAY FEATURE THAT WORKED GREAT WAS REMOVED. Option to "Display By Grading Period" was removed and now Course Lengths can only be seen by Control Set. We have over 25 Control Sets for our large summer school program, viewing by Control Set is cumbersome to say the least. My Control Sets now span 3 1/2 pages, versus a view by Grading Period, that listed, and gave me add/edit capabilities, all in a nice condensed list. Here is the last bit from the ticket I submitted.

    "At this time, there is no way to flip the display on the Course Lengths/Control…
