  2. Mass add students to course/class utility needs to allow deselecting students who do not need tobe added to the target course.

    The mass add students to course/class utility needs to allow deselecting students who do not need to be added to the target course. It would save time and there would not be a need for complicated work arounds that can affect credits and gpas.

  3. Add Utility to Mass Add Alternate Teachers

    Would be nice to have the ability to Mass Add Alternate Teachers to several sections of a course at a time. We need to add alternates for Title Classes so teachers are able to see student information for Acadience and other software, so to be able to add one teacher to a large group of course sections would be ideal.

  4. Walk-In Scheduler during year to drop and add new schedule

    It would be helpful in team scheduling especially to be able to use the walk-in scheduler to drop a whole schedule and add it back into a new team without deleting the original class.

  5. Mass Change Transaction Records - Add Previous School Year Option

    WS\OF\CS\SS\PS\UT\TR - Adding the ability to select the previous school year for this utility would be very helpful in instances when dates need to be changed after end of year processing has taken place.

    We create NY courses in December, then if we make DOE/DEX necessary changes to CY, we need a button to also add to NY course master OR the ability to only clone courses to NY by individual course!

  7. In Section Master, when looking within a section and clicking view roster, the student key, alphakey, is not an option to add. Could it be?

    In Section Master, when looking within a section and clicking view roster, the student key, alphakey, is not an option to add. Could it be? We are looking at the filters and it isn't there to choose.

  9. Prevent scheduling specific students in the same classes

    We have a student that has disciplinary issues against another student, so it would be great if they can be automatically scheduled so they are not scheduled in the same classes.

  10. Auto Scheduler

    There needs to be an option to roll-back an Auto Scheduling run to the previous save point. The Schedule Master Save Points only affect the Course Master. There needs to also be an option to revert to a previous point for the actual student scheduling runs.

    We have already built schedules for 85-90% of our students (via Arena Scheduling), and the final scheduling run overfilled course sections, even though we had to box checked to "Close Sections When Filled". The only option we have is to roll ALL THE WAY BACK to requests, which is not an option after the…

  12. Add date ranges for enrolled and dropped schedule class status to Grade and Attendance Analysis, Grade Input and Proof Sheet, Selected Grade

    Add date ranges for enrolled and dropped schedule class status to Grade and Attendance Analysis, Grade Input and Proof Sheet, Selected Grade Reports. So that registrars can put in a start and end date for students enrolled in a class. This would be useful when looking for missing grades for a term.

  13. Student gets a text or alert for any schedule changes

    Is it possible for a student to receive a text or alert for any schedule changes the counselors have made without the student in their office or needing to go to the office. There would need to be a on and off option, start date along with a message as to why it was changed and the history would need to be kept as well. The button could be on the scheduling tab next to the email tab, so that everything is on the page as the schedule change. The history button is read only and can be excelled as…

  14. Future Scheduling requests following student

    When we have students who transfer from one campus to another within our district, we would like to have the student requests follow them so the receiving campus can see what the student previously requested. If the courses are not the same number, that is OK, instead of giving the student another request form and starting from scratch for the receiving campus. This information would be very valuable and a time saver for the counselors and registrars.

  19. "teacher transaction"

    Need an option to prompt for an effective date when adding/editing a primary or alternate teacher on a meet. Similar to the options available for student transactions.

  20. Update Team Conferences with teachers when a course or section is changed such as adding a team to a section

    Update Team Conferences time slots automatically with teachers when a change to a course/section is made such as Allow Conferences and adding a team to a section. So that we don't have to mass delete then re-add. Because sometimes schools notice something is wrong after guardians are already signing up.

    We noticed that Skyward made a change that when team conference time slots have already been added if a course/section is change such as adding a team to a section the students of that section are now automatically added into the available list for those time slots in that team.…
