  1. More functionality for displaying different student name

    When in GradeBook allow the user to select if they want both the Identity(Legal) name and the Name, AKA field to appear on the screen and be able to do the same on the reports. Would like the Name, AKA to be in () after the Identity Name.

  2. Teacher Widgets for Long Term Substitutes

    Teacher Widgets option for Long Term Substitutes working on campus. Currently Skyward setup the teacher box must be checked on the staff record. Requesting that the widgets be available if the substitute box is checked instead since this is how they have to be reported on all PEIMS submissions.

  3. Create more time tracking features in Guidance

    Allow for entries not attached to a specific student. This would allow for large group guidance lessons or non-counseling activities to be tracked to help fulfil the Texas state requirement for counselors to track their time spent in counseling versus non-counseling tasks.

  4. Quicker way to tie a Curriculum Key to multiple Courses in multiple years

    It would be nice if there was a utility much like the "Mass Create Curriculum Master Records" but that would simply tie any course without a Curriculum number to the appropriate Course Key Number under the district-wide entity. Rather than going in line by line and entering missing data. This would be just to clean up what others have failed to either notice or enter when creating a new course. I feel this would save time while also helping to make sure data is as cleaned up as possible. Currently, the only solution to this issue is going in course…

  6. A section to add records request sent and records received.

    A spot to add a date when a records request was sent and when records were received and a spot to date when student records were sent out to the newly attending school. Possibly under the entry/withdrawal tab.

  8. It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile.

    It would be great if you could add the Student report, Student Information on the Quick Print button under Profile. Our district prints that info in case of an emergency.

  9. Automated email when families split - get divorced

    It would be nice to have an email when families split or get divorced. We have multiple entities and it would be nice to know when this happens from another building.

  10. Add Classroom Referral field added to Skybuild so classsroom referrals can be removed from discipline referral exports.

    Discipline referrals that are actually classroom referrals are currently exported as actual discipline events because the field is not available to alienate the entries.

  11. Prevent Duplicate MARSS numbers in the system

    We would like skyward to block individuals from adding a student if the MARSS number is already assigned to someone in the system vs just sending a warning to not proceed. We have seen in increase in MARSS #'s duplicated on students. As well has duplicate profiles because this message is either being ignored or missed. This would be very helpful!

  13. Tardy Kiosk - print # of days tardy on ticket

    I see no option to print the number of DAYS tardy a student has. It appears to only allow number of periods tardy (can be multiple every day) or number of days absent. Or at least find a way to print the number of a specific attendance code entries per student.

  16. Career Plans

    Allow the ability to have the Course Key in the career plans to differentiate between S1 and S2 / regular, honors, or ap course, etc. Our course key tells us that information at a glance and would be helpful to have on the Career Plan screen.

  19. Positive Attendance red "stop screen"

    In Pocket PaC, if a student is scanned into the library, student resource center, etc., when they should actually be in their math class, you get a red "stop screen" that alerts the staff scanning the student's ID that the student should be in class at that time. Positive Attendance doesn't have this feature so those scanning students into a location aren't made aware that the student should be in class. Staff cannot check every student's schedule to verify whether a student should be allowed entry into the location when they have a line of students at the door.

    Please…

  20. "teacher transaction"

    Need an option to prompt for an effective date when adding/editing a primary or alternate teacher on a meet. Similar to the options available for student transactions. I see that there PA and TX asked for something similar, where they asked for an option on the add transaction date on the add of a meet.
