  1. Tie notes to the STUDENT and not the person who created it

    When creating a note on a student of any kind, can the note be tied to the STUDENT and not the person that created it? We have staff that created notes and when they left, for some reason, their notes did not transfer. It would be nice if the note were attached to the student so that if the staff that created the not leaves the notes stay in place.

  3. Allow Student Indicator for Threat Assessment on Offense or BTA in Special Programs

    It would be VERY great to have a Student Indicator available that is based on either the Discipline Offense record SSS Threat Assessment checkbox, or the Special Programs BTA record.
    Yes, there is a work around if you use the District Categories - BUT that requires more steps on already overworked staff and adds MORE chance of human error in data entry that may cascade into other areas.
    Please see attached document with screenshots.

  4. Select Family Member/Emerg Contact shows Family names and Emergency Contact names in alphabetic order. Unfortunately the nurse does not know

    Select Family Member/Emerg Contact shows Family names and Emergency Contact names in alphabetic order. Unfortunately the nurse does not know which is which. Is there anyway to add a relationship column to this screen. This would help the correct person be contacted in a appropriate amount of time.

  6. Auto Delete Birth Certificate Attachments

    As a part of WI Statewide General Records Retention, there are certain documents/attachments that we are not supposed to keep on file (like a birth certificate.)
    We would still want parents to upload their attachments to their NSOE, but would like the ability to decide if a certain attachment type like "Lease" could get saved to portfolio, while an attachment type of "Birth Certificate" would NOT get saved to portfolio.

  7. Display all parent phone numbers on the Profile info page

    Currently the student profile info page only displays the primary 1st guardian phone number. You need to click on the parent/guardian name to view their second phone number. It would be helpful if the profile info page would show all the phone numbers for the parent/guardians.

  8. Space to add more than 5 locker combs

    Space to add more locker combs. We have locks for lockers that have 7-8 combs. Currently Skyward only allows 5 combs to be entered so we have to skip the combs that we can not enter into the system.

  9. Please make "other name" exportable in the export file builder for use in outside applications like Smartpass

    We integrate with other apps via Clever and other tools and would like the option for "other name" to be an exportable field.

  10. Add ACC INSTR in Special Programs to the Mass Add/End Utilities

    Please add the ACC INSTR (for accelerated instruction) option in Special Programs to the Mass Add and End Utilities for Special Programs. I've looked and ACC INSTR is not an option in either location in the Mass Add or End utilities. Thank you.

  11. District to District request multiple students via processing list or range by school code

    When using district to district, it would be very helpful to be able to pull in demographic and family information from our local districts for multiple students attending our Career Center. The ability to use a processing list or select a range by school code to request multiple students at once would be extremely beneficial.

  15. alternate student name

    Is it possible to have a space for a student's preferred name and run reports using the preferred name? We have several students using different names than their birth name in Skyward and it would be amazing if we can see their preferred name so we are not dead naming them.

  16. Search by legal name

    It would be great if we could search for a student by either their legal name OR other name and have it show up without having to go into Student Filters.

    Sometimes it is hard to remember which is the legal vs other OR if a student even has a different legal name that we need to be looking up by.

  17. Links to use for importer to portfolio

    Please add the state ede number to the link to use for the portfolio importer. With all the different test report we send to parent if any available link to a student was offered we could import the files. Right now the ACCESS score reports only list the MARSS number (state number) so we cannot link them.

  18. Include Bus Route Information on Student Roster and Student Information Report

    It would be helpful to include Bus Route Information on Student Roster and Student Information Report.

    Districts send these reports home at the beginning of the year.

    It would be nice to include this information for parents.

    Thanks

  20. Creating a utility to mass remove student indicators

    Can a utility be created to mass remove student indicators? For example, we use the Dr. Note Required indicator when a student has reached so many absences. We then remove this indicator at the end of the year as students start fresh every school year. It would be helpful to be able to run a utility to remove them rather than go in and remove each one individually.
