  1. customize columns as in filters for ALL screens especially office to class/activities.

    Please make all the windows adjustable to a custom view. Column width is the biggest issue. Especiall in the "office to class/activies. There are many, almost all windows are adjustable, but they do not stay that way from student to student etc. Since we all use different info and have different amount of class periods we don't have to continue to adjust and modify around columns we don't use.https://skyward.maps.k12.wi.us/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsSky/satndbrws019.w

    Is it possible to add a spelling and grammar check to the special education forms so when staff is typing information on the forms, spell check and grammar check is happening?

  4. District option for student indicators

    We have many student indicators that are district wide. It would be helpful if you could add the indicator from 000 and it would be a district indicator and if you added the indicator from an entity it would be entity specific.

  5. Add the ability to sort by class for the student missing assignment report

    Allow the gradebook student missing assignment report to sort by a class and teacher, so this report can be run and given to the study hall/pride time teacher for that student to make sure those students know what they should be working on in study hall/Pride Time.

  6. Staff Crosswalk Between HR & Student Management

    For those of us who have combined databases, it would be really helpful if the staff information for their State/WISEid and DPI Educator File Number (Entity ID) would automatically crosswalk/populate from their HR information when we add the person to the staff list in Student Management. A lot of other useful information copies over from HR when we add the person as staff on the SM side. This would save a lot of time & double entry since we have to have this information on their SM record for state reporting (course associations)

  7. When marking time slots attended, it would be nice to have a symbol or something to make it easier from the calendar view.

    When you look at the appointment slots on the calendar view, it would be helpful if there was a symbol or something that would show up after the slot was marked as attended /no show.
    It is tricky to keep track of the ones that have been marked as you have to click into the slot to open up the dialogue box.

    In the diabetes care log, it is required to enter a blood glucose number. We have situations in which the glucometer reads "high". This indicates the blood glucose is too high to be read by the meter. Can you add a box that says "glucometer reading high"? We are unable to record a value when it reads high, but we need to document the meter reading.

  9. Food Service

    Food Service to help meet the new Verification Summary Report with ISBE 2023.
    They are now asking for students that have extension of benefits. If we could have in WS\FS\PM\PA customer control records at field that allows us to mark as extended benefits.
    They are also not wanting the REDUCED MEDICAID directly certified students to pull into the verification. They do however want to know the number of students individually receiving the benefit.

  10. Create a report of manually applied coursework

    The ability to run a report of manually applied coursework in the graduation requirements would be helpful. Our Principals are supposed to approve all manually applied coursework and would like to audit this coursework. Currently, they have to go to each individual student profile to audit if coursework has been manually applied.

  11. Earned Industry Certification

    "Earned Industry Certifications" was added to the "Vocational Ed" tab on the student profile, but this field isn't available in Data Mining. So we can't pull a list of student's who have it. Can we get this added to Data Mining?

    Counselors would like to be able to include the students administrator and counselor when they send out emails from the student profile schedule screen. Currently, only the teachers show up. Need to have a counselor and school admin field added to this email name selection view screen?

  15. Include Other ID in 1804

    Please include student Other ID in the 1804 - Summer Membership report. While the report DOES calculate a unique number of students enrolled and the number of resident enrollments, we partner with community sites to offer numerous programs (that aren't in Skyward) and we have to combine their data with ours to get these totals. For the most part, community sites gather the students ID with their registrations so that we don't have to add it; however, with it not currently on the 1804 we STILL must add it to our report, usually with a vlookup, which is tricky because…

  16. Make Student Indicators follow students from entity to entity

    When a student moves from one school to the other, it would be helpful if the indicator followed. For example, RTI Referral. If the student switches schools right after an RIT is submitted, the teacher or administrator is not going to think about emailing the next school this information, especially if it is just a normal transfer from elementary to middle school.

  17. Add asterisk next to Identity tab name to indicate student has had a name change entered, as is done under Special Programs

    To help quickly flag students who have had an alternate name entered on the Identify tab, could an asterisk be added to the left of the Identity label? This is currently done for Special Programs.

  19. mobility code support

    Please add utilities to allow the mass add/removal of mobility codes from Entry/Withdrawal records. Ideally, I should be able to specify a date range, and optionally a withdrawal code and a mobility code to be entered if the criteria are met. Also, making the mobility code available to data mining would be very helpful as well. Affects: PA State Reporting

  20. When creating Staff at entity; have option to go directly to security area to add security for that staff person

    When creating a Staff member, a teacher for example, it would be nice to have a box to check to 'Add Security' and upon saving that set up, be taken directly to the Secured User area to that specific staff members account and add their security without having to move out of the Staff area and into the security area and then retype in the staff name and expand to add the security. This could go hand in hand with adding and effective date to start or end security and / or active or inactive status of staff. Definite time…
