Schedule  

The course schedule provides a comprehensive view of a student’s classes for the current school year. The container does not display classes that have been dropped.

Each course is organized in a block format, with grading terms and periods that correspond to specific time periods.

  • Term
  • Period and Days the class meets
  • Room Number (hovering over it reveals the school associated)
  • Course Name/Code
  • Teacher’s Name
  • Grades
  • Credits

NOTE: The gradebook viewer pulls data from Skyward’s gradebooks. It is essential to note that the gradebook grades and course history grades are separate data sets and may not always align. Teachers in Skyward must post actual grades. Teachers can change grades after posting, which may lead to discrepancies. 

Hover over the “Cur” (current grade) to view midterm grades. Once the final grade is posted, the class term grade replaces the current grade and is no longer designated “Cur.”

Additional Programs/Services 

This will display data points related to student status and support programs. (e.g., Military Family Status, Free and Reduced Lunch Status, Special Programs (HiCap, Special Ed., 504, Bilingual Ed, Title), ELL Data, and more.)

Enrollments 

Displays enrollment history within the district.

BEHAVIORS

Attendance 

Use the subpage tabs at the top of the container:

  • Student Attendance: Click the Week column to reveal further information.

  • Student Attendance Detail Data Table

  • Student Attendance Trend Chart

  • Student Attendance Summary History

Some page views can be downloaded by clicking the Download Data Table icon located in the top right corner.

Note: When viewing attendance details for the current day, all students will appear as present for all periods. Homeroom assumes a student is present unless they are marked as absent or tardy. Attendance and tardy records are updated nightly from the Student Information System (SIS).

Behaviors (SIS: Discipline Incidents, SWIS: Discipline Referrals) 

Referral data includes titles, dates, referring persons, descriptions, and resulting actions related to student behavior. This information can be entered directly or migrated from third-party applications, such as SWIS. 

Use the subpage tabs at the top of the container to view further detailed information.

 

Gradebook and Credits Tab

Gradebook provides a detailed look at a student’s assignments and suggested progress grades for each course. Grades come from Skyward’s Gradebooks. The grades displayed are calculated based on completed assignments and should not be considered final. Teachers in Skyward must post actual grades. Teachers can change grades after posting, which may lead to discrepancies. The gradebook viewer grades differ from those listed in the schedule spotlight, as they originate from separate data sets in Skyward.

Assessment  Tab

 

Test scores are displayed based on specific criteria related to the assessment status. A test score will be visible if the assessment is currently active or has an active strand with a score. If the "Show Inactive Assessment Tests" option is checked, all assessment tests with a score will be displayed, regardless of their active status. The district determines which assessment tests are flagged as active. 

If desired, use the column filters to search for specific information.
