  1. Add Utility to Mass Add Entry Withdrawal Records

    Students change grade levels throughout the school year at many at-risk campuses. Currently the process for entering a status change must be done on an individual student level. Adding a utility to withdraw as a status change and create a new entry from a processing list (or selecting individual students) would streamline this process.

    The ability to complete a status change withdrawal and new entry record for all grade level advancements during the school year.

  2. adding a blank or asterisks for default

    On student Profile when entering the student key social security number or other id if the student does not fall in the range would like it to default to a blank or asterisks screen instead of first student in alpha.
    this hopefully will stop mis-entering information under a students record that should not be updated.

  3. Email Guardians Button

    Please add a button with exact functionality as "Email Teachers" only to "Email Guardians". Right now there's no way to email all the guardians in a family or to choose from amongst available guardians. User has to click the link write an email; click the link write another email etc.. Other possibility is to cc the other parent--but this requires switching back and forth through windows plus a copy and paste and errors are possible. If the attached screen had an Email Guardians button it would be so helpful!

  4. Build table of CIDORs

    Currently the field for Campus ID of Residence is a free form text field. It would be beneficial to have a table created so that valid codes could be chosen from a drop down list.

    Negative impact would be entry of CIDOR that is out of designated boundaries higher possibility of data entry errors and more time consuming data entry on every entry.
    Having the valid codes provided will allow for less data entry fewer errors and cleaner data.

  5. Add Counselor Field to Customizable Options

    Recently Skyward provided a new field under Entity Info to allow districts (schools) to track Counselors if they differ from Advisors. This is a great option and Skyward did diligence to add it as a mass update option under Student Mass Change. Our staff would like to see this go one step further by adding the field as an option to updating a user's custom list of fields that display under the Extra Information option within Student Profile. When you click on the Customize link Advisor can be added however Counselor is not yet available. Screen shots attached. Thank you!

  6. Display Day Rotation in Attendance

    When a teacher opens Student Information (blue "i" icon) to view attendance for all classes they cannot see the Day Rotation on the absence records. The day rotation code displays in a variety of other screens but having it display here would be helpful for the teacher to view trends. Please consider adding the Day Rotation column to this screen to assist teachers.

  7. Preview Needed

    Both the Student Mass Change and especially the Student Mass Delete (and maybe others) need some form of a preview.
    I ran the Student Mass Delete utility in Report mode to verity that the proper number of students would get deleted. As you know when the utility runs it doesn't save the template. When I ran it the second time in Report and Report & Delete mode I didn't run it against the same range and ended up deleting all students from the entity.
    Having both a Report mode and a Report & Delete mode is inadequate unless you can…

  8. Change where transcripts sent to a free form text

    To make the work easier for our school registrars. This transcript sent option is used anytime the transcript is sent even to another high school and not just colleges. So instead of the registrar searching for the school and/or creating a new code they could just type in where the transcript was sent
    What we would want is to replace the school codes box and just make that a 40 (or whatever amount) character comment field with the date stamp still attached.
