"Skyward helps our district save a lot of time for our business office by allowing employees to have access to their personal information, such as payroll, time off, etc."

"The stack of papers we used for these processes was over half a foot high, Now with True Time, the same process that took weeks takes a maximum of three days and the stack of papers is all but gone."

"I think the biggest challenge that we faced had to do with interfacing and getting different systems to play nicely with each other, And the amount of time and energy it took to get things together – to work as efficiently as we wanted them to – was a huge thing. It affected the efficiency of the office for sure, and we got to a point where I think it was affecting our performance here."

"If a teacher sees a drop-off in performance, they can immediately share their concern with the parent, Or if they are entering an A+, they can also send a message of praise and encouragement. If these communications relied on the teachers opening up their e-mail, copying and pasting the parent’s email address, etc., they would probably never take place."

"We send data all 12 months of the year. [When a change occurs,] Skyward gets back to us in a very reasonable amount of time with solutions and a realistic timeline for implementing the necessary changes."

"The simplified process of building reports, creating a budget, running payroll, paying bills, and year-end reporting is a significant improvement for us."
