    I just voted, but I'd like to add... yes, I would like to see the Alternate teacher have the same access to conferences as the Primary teacher. On the same note... if there is a "Sub" Assignment, the assigned sub should also be connected to the conferences, like the Primary teacher is... without having to do any more setup.

    Hi everyone, we have begun development updates to provide additional functionality to better track a student’s legal name when they identify with another name. An identity tab will be available within the Student profile where a student’s legal name information can be maintained and pulled from for state reporting needs. This will then allow the preferred name to be entered as the student’s profile name and be represented throughout the system. We will also be looking to provide options on report cards and transcripts to designate which name you’d like to print.

    Thank you for the continued feedback and support of this idea!

    Not sure if this helps, but you CAN get a missing assignment report, one student per page, on the Office side, at WS\ST\RE\SA.

    When doing a withdrawal, you can choose to automatically withdraw students from programs... not SPED, but EL, GT, Busing, etc... (I can think of times when we would NOT want this to just automatically happen for all programs a student is in, for instance, when doing a Status Change.)

    Not sure if you're aware of the District Family Access Setting that says... "Do Not Show Wall Post Messages Prior to..." and then you can fill in the date, and change it whenever needed. That might be helpful for your District? It can be found at WS\FA\FM\PS\CF\DD.

    Please do not get rid of Local Race... we are a large district and DO still use it in various reports. Yes, using Skycoder to hide it is a great option for districts who just don't want to see the field at all.

    Inquiring with customers to see which specific reporting needs are not being met for Special Programs. Looking for consistency.

    Voters: Please include details for this idea if there are specifics you are looking for! This greatly helps us evaluate if options exist or what type of change should be considered.

    Thank you!

    As mentioned by others in the comments, you can leverage parental consent notes and/or critical alerts to help draw additional attention to these students. We did bring this feedback over to the Qmlativ product and much like on SMS you can require acknowledgement on Critical Alerts; however, on Qmlativ we do this per student based on their explicit situation, in addition to allowing a custom note to be added to the alert that can be viewed by anyone who has access to that student indicator for additional awareness.

    I believe they can "check out"... they just enter their ID again, and it is logged.
