When you chose Skyward, you chose a partnership over a purchase, a user-centered solution over a canned system, and a better experience over the status quo.

  1. Family Cap Report

    We would like to see a Family Cap report for Athletics. Currently the only way to see it is to run the fee code totals and it is not real pretty. I tried to convert it to Excel and sort it by Family Cap and it is a mess.
    Thank you,
    Jayne Huth, School District of Reedsburg

  2. Automated Email

    In the automated emails, have an NSOE Application that will look at the Stage Code and based on that code send an email to parents. Like applications that are missing required documentation. Right now we email parents individually, it would be so helpful if this was set up automatically.

  3. Automated Email for Unpaid Fees

    Create an automatic, recurring email that get sent to families for any unpaid fees. We would want it to be set up so they would get an email every few weeks if they have any fees still due. I know we can have an automatic email set up for when fees get added, but I don't see one that we can set up as a reminder if they are still unpaid.

  4. Email Partial Progress Report

    The current Email Progress Report only allows reports for our defined terms. We are a center-based CTE School. We use 6 terms to accommodate students from schools that are on either Trimesters or Semesters. We'd like to be able to Email Progress Reports from a date range, not just a single term. In other words, we'd like to Email Partial Progress Reports where we can pick the date range of the report.

  5. Attachments needed for local programs

    Sometimes we have meeting documentation associated with alternative placement. We need to be able to attach documents to the local programs so that we may track student entry and exit into alternative placement.

  7. We need the ability to capitalize a letter in the a student's name.

    We need the ability to capitalize a letter in the a student's name. For example McDougal, currently Skyward does not consistently allow the "D" to be capitalized. We need to be able to input a student name exactly as it appears on a birth certificate. This impacts every category listed above but I chose "Student".

  8. I would like the ability to hide the question of Student Language in the Student Information area of NSOE

    In Texas we have to have the family complete the Home Language Survey in their native language and having them answer language questions in more than one place causes confusion and answers that don't match.

    We would like to be able to hide the Student Information field on NSOE of Student Language so that our staff can enter what is answered on the Home Language Survey and not have to look for mismatches between the HLS and parent answers.

  12. Family Information for all guardians to be listed in the Educator Access Plus tab for teachers

    Currently in Educator Access Plus for Teachers, it only provides the phone number for the first guardian listed in the family as well as the emergency contacts on their screen. Teachers have to click on the name of the additional guardian in order to view their phone numbers. It would be convenient if all guardians and emergency contact phone numbers are all provided to be located at a glance.

  14. add Migrant questions to NSOE

    add Migratory Student Information collection to NSOE. DPI has a form for these families to fill out (and skyward has an import process to pull these families into Skyward from DPI). However, there is not a process to collect the information in NSOE. We are adding our own questions to NSOE based on the links below but to ensure enrollments are similar at other districts in Wisconsin could this be added by Skyward to NSOE?

    Requirement C.1. Identification of Migratory Children
    LEAs must have procedures in place to identify migratory students.

    Section 1111(b)(2)(B)(xi)(VI)

    This is required for all LEAs whether…

  15. Test Accommodations

    Users would LOVE to have the ability to add multiple accommodations to the test. Every accommodations needs to be added, then saved then "Add" again. Once they are on the Local Accommodation Maintenance page it would be great for the user to enter all ALL accommodations here and then just save once all are entered.

  16. Option for a teacher to select whether they want No Count to be removed when an assignment is synced again from Canvas

    Option for a teacher to select whether they want No Count to be removed when an assignment is synced again from Canvas. We have a school that frequently has students that are late on their assignments. But they found that if the score is still visible it encourages them to still to the work. Also if the score is there it allows the teacher to still be able to track how the student is doing. Since this is the case when the teacher syncs the assignment after the due date from Canvas they then go into Skyward and mark the…

  18. Add Security by Test Code and Edition

    Allow security to be configured not just to all tests in the assessment module, but to only specific tests by test code and edition of the test. This will allow users to have control over tests and scores from their specific disciplines while not being able to impact the score records from other unrelated disciplines.

  19. Teacher Room Availability - pull only ACTIVE classes

    Within WS\OF\CS\BC\RE\TR... there should be an option to look at only ACTIVE classes. Right now the report pulls Active and Inactive classes which is not helpful when trying to find room availability, and there is not a template setting to only choose Active classes.

  20. Athletic Participation follow student from Middle to High School

    Currently, Activities are Entity specific so they only follow the student in each specific Entity. There is not currently a way to get the Activities to follow the student from Entity to Entity.

    So if you have middle school students participating in high school athletics, it shows in their middle school. However, once they move into the high school, that information does not follow so the high school doesn't have the record of their participation and years participating in the student's records. A student should get the credit they deserve for participating X number of years in a sport starting…
