"The trainers and customer support at Skyward are accessible to us for understanding our diverse needs for as large as we are Skyward has been focused on the needs of our district for continued service."

"Eliminating timecards has been the biggest savings, We used to print out everyone’s timecards every other week. Also, with the time saved and the tracking of hours in True Time, we are now able to focus on the Affordable Care Act and the reporting requirements."

"Skyward looks at the challenges districts face and finds ways to ease the burdens or eliminate them altogether, Skyward not only listens to us, but they try to achieve any outcomes we seek. It’s the only software company I know that operates at this level with its customers."

"With Skyward, parents in our district have become more involved with their child's school work. They find it easy to navigate Family Access, view missing assignments, and connect with teachers about things occurring in the classroom."

"Skyward is always on target with their presentations. Learn something new and build on current skills. iCon is always worth the time!"

“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.”

“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.”

“Customization is great when you need it, but if someone leaves the district and did all of the customization without documenting anything, all of that information is lost. Unless you’re that one person at the district who knows all of the ins and outs of the system, over-customization isn’t beneficial.”

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

"Had I have known the time that it would save me each year in setting up contracts and pay records for the staff I would have begun using it much sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend this product."

"I would absolutely recommend Family and Student Access to other districts. It has provided us with multiple useful tools, and we continue to explore additional ways we can fully utilize it in our building."

“Skyward was the first system teachers were able to grasp, and it’s more user-friendly than what was used in the past. Being able to access Skyward from home is also a very big benefit. Now they can just log in from any computer and work at their leisure since it’s web-based.”

“Despite our previous information system having documentation on the database fields, it was still extremely difficult to query the database. We interfaced with various systems, but it’s definitely easier in Skyward. The database schema is so well-designed that I am usually able to write an integration interface in a couple of hours.”

"Over the years, Skyward and RCAS have formed a collaborative relationship. In fact, we were one of Skyward’s first customers to move to the Web. Together, we have developed new and innovative ideas, identifying requirements and enhancements that are a core part of the product today. We are proud of the role we have played in helping to make Skyward such a comprehensive and robust solution."

"We are able to operate with fewer administrative employees than other districts. Most require approximately five to six systems to accomplish what we do with just one."
