  1. allow overlapping enrollments

    In certain scenarios, it would be useful to be able to set certain Withdrawal codes to be able to allow overlapping enrollments. For example, if an enrollment was created and submitted to our State Reporting authority in error, we may need to retain a record of that erroneous enrollment, but would need to overlap a new, corrected enrollment.

  2. Create Mass Add for Portfolio Highlights

    We add highlights for all of our HS students. Most of the time we add the same highlight to several hundred students. Currently they must be entered one student at a time. Having a mass add with the ability to utilize a processing list would be a huge time saver.

  3. Family Access Missing Assignments

    When we get a new student in our school the assignments that were given prior to their enrollment show up as missing assignments. Parents/Students get confused or upset about the number of missing assignments that then show up. Past assignments should not show up for new students that enroll into a entity.

  4. USE OF TEAMS IN REPORTS-ATTENDANCE

    In Day Summary Report I need to print this out by Team but can only print it out by grade. If you can add the option to print by Team it would save me a lot of work. Right now I have to use a Processing List for each Team and we have 10 Teams. There are other reports that we can't use for Teams as well that if added would be great and save time and trouble.

  5. Family Access Username Sync to NameKey

    Automatically update username for parents in family access when their name is changed and they are assigned a new namekey. This would help keep the namekey/username in sync.

  6. Course Requests Configuration by Grade Level

    In the Course Request Configuration in Student Access, we can choose the option to Use Course Request Time Periods to Determine if a Window is Open, and set up the time period by Grade Level. This option is helpful, but we need to also Limit the Number of Requested Credits by grade level. Sometimes the request windows can overlap.

  7. clone processing list

    I would like to be able to clone a processing list. Many times we need to use the majority of a list but take a few kids out and it's time consuming to have to manually add them all again.

  8. Blank-out Student Search

    It would be beneficial to have the student fields blank-out when an attempt to search for a student using the Student Search yields no results. Currently the first alpha student in the system and their associated data displays. If a user is not paying attention, which can and does occur frequently in a large district, an incorrect student is updated.

  10. at risk lep

    Currently, the Mass Generate At-Risk Identification Records utility allows the use of Criteria Codes to mass generate At Risk records for students with a LEP record. This is very helpful but the utility will also code if you have students in a Dual Language Program that are not LEP but are participating as At Risk. These non-LEP students have a LEP record, as required, for funding purposes.

    I propose that an additional "sub-criteria" option is created for At Risk Reason Code 10 - Is of Limited English Proficiency. The "sub-criteria" should allow districts to select from the list of Parental…

  11. Enable Future Schedules in EA+

    Students can see future schedules but teachers can't except via a printed report. Please give teachers the same future schedule view (for "next" year) in EA+.

  12. create grade buckets to import current grades into without posting

    Trying to provide local districts with daily grades for CTE students. We are able to export the current grades but are not able to import them into the local district without them posting to the transcript. Having grade buckets to import into that don't automatically appear on the transcript would be beneficial. Perhaps grade buckets that could be activated to post when needed but otherwise do not.

  13. autoemail building registrar when NSOE is approved for their building

    NSOE applications are approved by the Central office staff who then "forward" them on to the building registrars. Building registrars have no way of knowing that the NSOE approval has taken place or that it is being forwarded to them. It would be helpful if, upon approval, an auto email would generate letting the building registrar know that it has been approved and is available to them for completion.

  14. Add option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template

    It will be very helpful to have the option to “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” added to the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility template. We use the “Mass Change Class Roll Worksheet Data” utility to mass populate the Industry Certifications/Digital Tools with an “F” Fail outcome using a processing list. The “Link Industry Cert ID to course 0000000” option is already available in the Career/Tech Ed>Industry Certs when adding Digital Tool records manually for the elementary grades. The Digital Tools for elementary grades are reported under course 0000000 only, we are adding hundreds of Digital Tools…

  15. Students Current Scheduling - allow filtering of dropped courses

    Include a "dropped" field in the actual List View so that Dropped Courses can be Filtered out. Will make it much cleaner for counselors to view and at the same time easier to match with Student Fees. I realize they are color coded, but it still junks up the schedule.

  17. Automated Discipline Letters

    The option to have automated Discipline Letters much like the Attendance Letters would be helpful for parents and schools. The idea is that the letters would automatically generate discipline offense letters when a student accumulates 5, 10, 15, and 20 offenses or any combination set by the district that could be mailed and printed as well as posted in Family Access.

  18. 3 Year olds not in the PK Grad YEAR receiving Sped Services

    Year for 3K students who receive services through Marathon County Special Education. They have now taken over the Birth to 3 services for the County.
    As of now I put them in a PK grad year to upload WISE etc, then change back to a code I made (3K) This way I don't forget to do a status change for the following school year.

  19. Allow transfer of previous term grade from the Office to the Gradebook

    We would LOVE to have the ability to push a grade for a new student (or one with a schedule change) from the Office/Grading module to the new teacher's gradebook for previous terms. While we understand that a teachers should click the NEW button and use one of the 5 methods to get grades into previous buckets in their gradebook, getting teachers to do this (and do it correctly) is a huge headache for us. This would save a tremendous amount of time for teachers AND officer personnel. The teacher, of course, could later make adjustments if needed.
