  2. Change verbiage on the "Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab

    Under the"Distribute Student Demographic Information For" area of the Student / Student Profile tab, our Florida district would like the verbiage that appears when you click on the question mark to be changed for the "Public" check box to say :
    "The Public flag is normally used to exclude student information from being sent outside the district such as newspapers, Social Media, TV and other media."

  3. Add the WISEid field to Student Browse Views

    Could Skyward,
    1. Include the WISEid in ALL Student Browse/Views
    2. Include a “middle initial” field in ALL Student Browse/Views

    (For background, I asked both Skyward and DPI to confer and come up with a good way for us to compare data from Skyward Student Browse and WISEdash for Districts. It was discussed at their vendor meeting and the resolution was for me to submit a Product Idea, because a project could not be written for it.)

  4. SPO/SRO module

    I am reaching out on behalf of our School Police Officers. They were wondering if there is a module in Skyward in which our School Police Officers can document their interactions with students (similar to guidance notes) as well as documentation of charges that have been filed on students. They are looking for a module that they can use as a police reporting system to create templates for filing charges and such. If there isn't a module that is separate for this, where would you suggest that School Police Officers house this information in Skyward? Thank you!

  5. Add the graduated Y/N and Grad Date from profile as an object on student transcripts.

    Currently when we print a transcript for a senior that is credit deficient or a dropout, the graduation date is populated from the projected grad date object. This is then very misleading on these transcripts as the student has not graduated. It seems to make more sense to pull the grad date from the profile tab, that way students that are credit deficient or drop outs, would not populate a graduation date. Thank you for considering.

  6. Mass Export Report Cards with a Custom Filename Format

    In order to import or share student report cards into some of our other software, the vendors require the report card files to have the filename as either the student ID (Other ID) or student name (LastFirst), so it would be helpful to have these options when exporting from Skyward.

  7. Tardy Kiosk Configuration - "Calc minutes..."

    In the Tardy Kiosk Configuration, there is a section to "*Calc minutes late based on: Period Start Times, Class Start Times, Absent Start Times, Specific Start Time"; however, choosing one of those options doesn't record, or report that "calculated" time anywhere. I'm not sure the purpose of having those options there and it's caused confusion and inefficiency in trying to figure them out. Please remove them or, if they are intended for only a specific states use, please indicate that on the screen so we don't waste time looking at them.

  8. TX-Safe Supportive School Program

  10. Scan Mobile ID to Load Current Student Profile

    Program SMS so that a secretary can scan the students Mobile ID and have the corresponding Student Profile pop up on the secretary's Skyward. This would make the attendance office much more efficient when having to see so many kids face-to-face each day.

  11. teacher grade posting Report to include subject and skill grades

    We are looking for a way to run a report for teachers who did not post Subject/skill grades for SBRC's. Currently we run data mining reports but that is very time consuming to go through since not all skills are graded each marking period.

  12. Mass Activate / Inactive Security Groups

    We inactivate security groups during the time frame after rolling the year and the start of school so that the school personnel can add scheduling information without all the teacher "eyes" viewing their progress. If we could select groups to mass activate and inactive, it would be a huge time saver.

  14. Mass Change ISBE State Course Codes for 2023-24 school year

    ISBE is removing all the prior to secondary - 51 course codes for the 2023 - 2024 school year. It would be very helpful if Skyward could create a mass change feature for the course codes with the ISBE crosswalks to save districts a lot of time.

  15. Add demographics to Enrollment Application Processing area

    Can the following demographics be added to the Enrollment Application Processing area: Gender, Local Race, Income Range? We have a district who want to use the 'Create Chart' feature, but would like the above-mentioned demographics in order to use it to fit their needs. This could help others benefit from this tool, as well. Thank you.

  16. Mass Change Course Fees be able to select year and amount

    Under Mass Change Course Fees WS\AD\FM\PS\UT\CC - Have the capability to select the year - for new year - and the amount. Several of our courses have the same amount for fees, workbooks and textbooks. It would be nice to have the ability to mass change as opposed to pulling up each individual course and entering the textbook amount, then the workbook, amount then the fees. A tedious and time consuming activity that could be streamlined.

  18. State Reporting Info in Browse Screens

    With the new Ed-Fi process, so much time is spent navigating between pages. It would be very helpful if State Reporting columns/info could be added to Views for the browse pages.
    For example on the Course Master page, WS\OF\CS\BC\CM\CM, it would be amazing if there was a View that included the Dual Credit, Subject Code, Subj Code Grade Level, Course Level, Do Not Send to Ed-Fi fields.
    On the Staff Browse page WS\SF\SF, it would help if there was a Classification View so we could see the Start/End Dates, Entity and Classification
    On the Student Browse page WS\ST\ST, it would…

  19. Read testscores to find the highest for transcripts

    Indiana code now requires that the highest SAT score be included on transcripts. It would be great if Skyward could read the testscores and find the highest to include on the custom transcript.
