148 Skyward Testimonials

“No one expected a pandemic to occur, but as our schools shut down, our conversion and conversations with Skyward ramped up, Until July, every single training I did was from home."

"The conversion from our previous software provider to Skyward was a simple process and we could not be more satisfied with Skyward. Skyward is so easy to navigate and the training that we were offered proved to be phenomenal."

"It used to take me about two full weeks working 10-12 hours a day to clean the data and get it ready for reporting. With Skyward the entire process has been reduced down to just a couple of hours."

"The consultant finds out how procedures are currently being done, what works, what doesn't work, and then uses that information to build the program to fit our needs!"

"Our teachers love the online assignments and tests. They now have more time to focus on their students rather than correcting papers Skyward does it for them!"

"I feel as time goes on and new [enhancements] are introduced we will see more and more of an impact concerning efficiencies, Skyward has great potential in that the possibilities of things that can be accomplished within the software seem almost limitless."

"We selected Skyward because of what we see as the benefits from the efficiency. It brought us into the 21st century as far as software goes."

“I once worked at a district using multiple databases, each of which didn’t always easily communicate well with the other. That alone makes Skyward stand out, because it interacts and integrates so much easier. From a superintendent perspective, the time savings alone have been key. I am responsible for approving many items and the more I can do with the click of a button, the easier my job is.”

"There Were So Many Other School Districts In The Area Using Skyward And They Were Committed To Meeting Our Tight Deadline."

"Skyward is a wonderful system and you guys are on top of the Health Care Reform and ACA reporting... We appreciate Skyward being the leader and trendsetter in all of this new chaos."

“Secretaries were leading other secretaries and so forth, instead of me telling them about my expectations from the backend, We had detailed roll-out plans with expectations for our staff. Tasks were split into ‘required’ and ‘recommended,’ which we still continue today.”

"A Combination Of Good Technology, A Flexible System, And A Partner That’s Invested In Your Own Interest Is Absolutely Vital To Ongoing Success. And That Is What We Have With Skyward."

“I know of other districts that I’ve been in that don’t have an onboarding system or even a paperless system, As a principal back in the day, applicants had to go to the central office, pick up an application. It was quite a process.”

“We have a lot of movement of staff, so oftentimes our candidates are not here but are able to apply, and we can arrange interviews with the electronic application process. If we didn’t have that, our pool would be even more limited, so FastTrack allows us to get to know the candidate ‘on paper’ and reach out to them before they’re necessarily onsite.”

“We recently started a 1:1 program in grades three through twelve. To start a 1:1 program we needed a larger wireless network and a faster fiber network. Those demands created a lot of work for our IT department,” explained for Staples-Motley. “We haven’t added any IT staff since implementing our 1:1 program. We just didn’t have the time, manpower, or money to host our Skyward system in-house anymore.”
