Add grade criteria to the prerequisites
I would like to add a grade criteria to certain courses. We currently go through student selections one at a time. We have minimum grades in prereq courses for many or out AP or Accelerated courses and this would be great.

Student Current Scheduling Matrix View
We like using the Matrix view, but would like to be able to "hide" past terms, or have a filter option, so we can view Term 02 and Term 03 without seeing Term 01 for example.

Prereqs in 2.0
I would like the ability to create a prereq that could then be used for multiple classes instead of going in and doing the same set up over and over. In art all of our art classes require Art Fundamentals. Instead of recreating it for 16 other courses it could just be added - and added by year as well. Same for Biology, Chemistry, Foods - all of the building block classes.

Edit Class Meet
Once the edic class meet window is saved and the user is returned to the course master window, give me a setting to leave the section detail open that was just edited. When working on sequential sections it is difficult to always accurately click the next section after the screens have reset. Once I am done in the course and click on the next course, section details can all close.

Teacher Effective Date
Please add Teacher Transaction Date available on MEET screen. This causes many fatals for Texas PEIMS State Reporting.

Course Conflict Matrix Details
I'm proposing that when navigating to the Course Conflict Matrix Details (WS/OF/FS/BM/SB) we also include courses that have ZERO conflicts under the "Number of Conflicts" column. This would make much easier to know which changes we could make to our Master Schedule if we knew where we could actually move the course to - to an area that has zero conflicts. I confirmed with Skyward that the only way to view zero conflicts now under that screen would be to export the screen to excel export our Course Master (active courses only) to excel and then compare each excel spreadsheet…

View Course Long Description
We would like the option to view the course long description in the course master. Our schools like this course name better than the short description.
Either always see the long description or have a filter option to show the course long description.

Different background color for new year
The goal is to have a visual reminder when we are working in new year scheduling (instead of current year). There have been times we have inadvertently changed something in current year when we thought we were in new year. Have a different color background would prevent that.
I would like a visible distinction between new and current year to prevent errors to making changes.27 votes -
Need capability to copy template from year to year
Under the Mass Change Course Master Fields I use the Course Range option of Individual Course Selection to make Texas specific changes. For instance all my courses that are the first part of a two semester course are assigned a course sequence code of 1. The courses that are the second part of a two semester course are assigned a course sequence of 2. And the courses that are single semester only have a course sequence code of 0. I also do this with population served for certain courses among other changes.
I would like to be able to copy…27 votes -
Addition of Term Selection to WS\OF\FS\SS\RE\MR
We would really like to be able to run the Students Missing Specific Courses/Subjects report by specifying one or more terms rather than being locked into the full school year. For example we wanted to quickly produce a list of students who were missing only math courses for Semester 2. Since term selection is not available for this report we were not able to produce any reports of value. If there are alternate means of quickly producing such a report we'd gladly appreciate any feedback as we are brand new to Skyward this year and our knowledge base is still…

Instructional Responsibility for PVAAS
The percentage of shared instruction will set to default to the value based on dividing 100 by the number of teachers flagged as having instructional responsibility for a course. Our district has followed an 80/20 responsibility for two co-teacher courses and 55/35/10 for three co-teacher courses in our six elementary buildings. There is no way to change the default and each individual student record will need to be changed for all teachers. This will be a very time consuming task and may attribute to more errors when uploading to PIMS thus creating incorrect records in the PVAAS system. Instructional responsibility…

Add an Option to Select Grades Courses Only
Add an option to the report to select grades courses only. Currently that option is not available and our Withdrawal Form prints out on 4 pages. The negative impact is that we cannot utilize this Skyward Report with its current options.
Add a Course Selection field to select by either Range or Individual (just like the Student Selection option). Within the Ranges we would need the option to select graded courses only.
Our expected outcome is that we would not have to create a custom form document for student withdrawals. We would be able to utilize the Skyward Canned Report.33 votes -
Do not show periods on class schedule
We'd like to add the option not to display periods on schedules (just like the option to not display teacher names or room numbers). All 3 pieces of info can cause issues with students when we have to make schedule changes over the summer. We want to be able to show families which courses have been scheduled with no other information about the courses until close to the start of school.
The expected outcome is a check box to "do not show period on class" option on the Family Access schedule entity configuration screen.14 votes -
Move the Population Served to the Class Meet
I would like to request moving the population served from the class section to the class meet. When reporting Fall PEIMS districts have to go into the "Maintain" area and edit those fields for SPED teachers to match their budget code. If that field was on the meet we would not need to spend so much time in maintaining and editing.
This would be a benefit to all Texas users and would make Submission 1 easier. We would no longer spend so much valuable time going through the Maintain area and editing each teacher.24 votes -
Deselect all in the individual course selections
Instead of having to go back in and uncheck all boxes it would be beneficial when setting up certain course items to be able to deselect all courses and start over. Working in CTEERS right now and I am going in multiple times as I set up the state area. I won't have to going forward in CTEERS but I would think there are other times that this would be beneficial.

Allow additional grade ranges on Course Master
The course master only allows a range of -02 - 12 when entering grade ranges for a course. Update it so that it accepts more values.

Teacher lunch and preps on schedule
Enable a course to be indicated that it is for a teacher schedule
. On a course have in the drop down 'category' have Teacher Schedule. When you would select this you could have meets and assign teachers but not assign students. This would then enable the class to print on the teacher schedule.34 votes -
NEED TO ADD A REGISTERED TRADEMARK SYMBOL
Our district offers many AP courses and we are required to have the trademark symbol after the letters AP on any of our course descriptions in the catalog transcript report card or any report. Skyward does not allow us to enter the symbol and converts it to (R). I just want to make sure that we document that we have tried to comply with the request made and that if any legal actions are taken that it is not held against the district because of the inability to accomplish this in Skyward. I have spoke to a customer representative from…

Course Type Codes with More Than 3 Characters
We need to be able to create Course Types with more than 3 characters. Being limited to 3 characters hinders our users to utilize/create codes that contain more than 4 or more characters. The downfall we are running into is that when a transcript is printed courses that have 4 or more course types attached does not print all the codes associated.
This will allow our registrars to print transcripts with accurate data displayed.7 votes -
Add Ability To Mass Fill Service Dist / School ID
To be able to mass fill the Tennessee Course Section Service District ID and Service School ID. As it is now: We must input this manually for every section which can be very very time consuming.
This would greatly help in populating those fields quickly and efficiently.42 votes
