  3. "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. I see that there PA and TX asked for something similar, where they asked for an option on the add transaction date on the add of a meet.

  4. 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.…

  6. Add Option to Mass Change Display On Student Schedules in Mass Change Course Master Fields Utilty

    The option to mass change/update the display on student schedules checkbox under each meet would be a great option instead of having to go into each meet and uncheck this if we do not want to display the meet on student schedules.

    Tennessee needs a report to identify when a Primary teacher is changed so that Teacher history can be updated. This info is stored in the Meets history. How can we pull it nightly?

  10. When added students in future scheduling in entry by class it would be very helpful to have NY homeroom as one of the fields .

    When added students in future scheduling classes under the entry by class it would be helpful to have the NY homeroom field that way we can filter to make the process faster.

  11. Print Future Schedules to Sort by Class Period

    Currently when printing future scheduling schedules the class sort is by the current year schedule. It would be very useful if the sort by class period would be from the future schedule, not the current schedule.

  12. Add School Day in Two Places

    At menu path: WS\ST\TB\SC\CS\SI\ST, view all transaction, having the school day, the number of the day progressing through the school year, would be very helpful for certain departments and their meetings. This menu path is used by the guidance office and goes into an annual effort, by the teachers and guidance office, to track what percentage of the school year a teacher taught a student. These transactions look to be a snap shot in time and being able to see a school day number associated with the calendar day would greatly reduce manual efforts, increase accuracy, and automate several processes.

  13. Add Waitlist to Arena Scheduling

    Add waitlist to Arena Scheduling. We use Arena Scheduling for Summer School and would be nice if kiddos could be put on waitlist. We then could determine to increase seat count or add an additional section

  15. Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests

    Currently, the default ranges on the Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests is set to Exclude Special Ed students. This causes them to be excluded even when running this utility using a processing list. All other mass utilities have open ranges, so schedulers didn't look at the ranges in this utility before running it with a processing list and didn't realize all ESE and Gifted students on the processing list were getting left out. They are now going in and changing it, but it would be nice if the default was truely open ranges so students protected by law weren't inadvertently excluded…

  16. Hide Specific Courses in the Course Master

    I would like the ability to pick specific courses in the course master using a check box and hide them. We run a computerized credit recovery program and those courses need to stay active. There are a lot of them that I would like to hide similar to how I can hide rows or columns in an Excel or Google sheet. This would allow me to see only the active courses offered to the majority of students.

  17. Scheduling - Print Teacher Schedules

    When printing out Teacher Schedules (WS/OF/CS/RE/TS), it would be nice to have the option to choose specific teachers, but more than one teacher at a time. We have multiple teachers who teach in different departments, so just choosing a department or a subject, doesn't get us what we need. We would like to have the option to checkbox more than one teacher at a time.

  19. Total College Credit Hours for students

    Currently, our counselors are calculating by hand and by looking at the transcript to determine if a student has enough college hours for an Associates upon high school graduation. It would be helpful if these course hours could be data mined out (current and historical classes) or have a report in Skyward that can be used to get this data.

  20. Be able to select multiple teachers to print their schedules

    When working on scheduling it is helpful to print a teacher's schedule. I sometimes want to print more than one. It would be helpful to be able to choose what teachers' schedules I want, rather than having to print more than one report.
