  1. add GT and 04 indicators to class roster

    We love the way the class roster prints out and the fact that is will indicate your LEP and Spec ed students but if it also printed out the GT and the 504's that would be excellent. Please consider adding these to the template.

  2. Periods set up to be alpha-numeric

    In order to allow more flexibility and clarity we would like to see the period set up changed to be alpha-numeric. We would like the ability to name periods B01 or R01 which gives more flexibility in naming the period. This will help us with the flexibility of our Friday schedule which has all the B day and R day classes meeting. This would allow Friday to be: B01 R01 B02 R02 B03 R03 B04 R04 instead of periods 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 which has no reference to the order that the classes will meet in…

  3. Add Advisor Name

    Would like the advisor name added to this report. We mail this report home and freshmen students do not always know who their advisor is.
    Freshmen need to know who their advisor is before the start of the school year.

  4. Gender Printing on Report Cards

    We have a request to not include Gender on many of the individual student reports we currently print. In this case the request is that the Student Schedule report not include Gender. We currently have no way to do remove this.

  5. Backscheduling in the Flex Mod Environment

    With converting to Flex Mod Scheduling we have found the backscheduling has become very time consuming due to the multiple yet specific mods that individual students can be scheduled into. We work on a 14 mod (period) day at 5 days a week equals 70 different mods a student can be scheduled into. Is it possible to create a secure group of users who only have access to make changes to study halls.
    Currently the time it takes to "backschedule" a student into a resource center is an inefficient use of time for counselors teachers and the registrar. Teachers normally…

  6. Need ability to hide obsolete codes

    The Scheduling Team Codes table is not year specific. This makes it impossible to delete a code that was used in a previous school year but not used this year. SOmetimes a code table contains a status field. This helps in that inactive codes can be hidden and you are usually not allowed to select an inactive record.
    The Scheduling Team codes table should either be made year specific or have a status field added to it. Only currently 'active' codes should be selectable.

  7. Editing alternate teacher transaction dates.

    To improve the accuracy of PIMS StudentStaffSubtest template I would like to see your software allow for editing the teacher effective date ranges for alternate teachers. As it is now when adding an alternate meet to the course master the effective date defaults to the beginning of the school year. Unlike the primary meeet pattern alternate meets should not be required to have a teacher represented for an entire school year.
    In talking this through with the Skyward Help Desk a proposed workaround is to create an alternate meet with no teacher name listed and with the instructional…
