148 Skyward Testimonials

"The tools that are in Skyward really allow me to provide our administrators with information they can act upon."

"In the areas of absence management and substitute payroll processing, not only do I save a lot of time by using Skyward, but I also find the system to be much more user-friendly than other systems."

"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 helps our district by having phenomenal technical support using the chat feature. It saves a ton of time and is the best I've ever used."

"We’re not going to have the errors on timesheets – before a person could put down ‘8 a.m. to 4 p.m.’ and say that was 10 hours, There are not those kinds of addition errors or calculating errors on both the employees’ part and the people who process payroll. When you’ve got that many manual timesheets to go through to check and approve, and only a certain amount of time to do it in, there’s a chance for errors."

"True Time is part of the culture here. It’s like using email now. It’s just something they do, and it’s easy for them to do. It’s so convenient."

"At the time, we thought we were making a move toward something better. But we quickly realized that Skyward had been solving challenges we hadn't even recognized before. The functionality and reliability we once took for granted were suddenly missing."

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

“I love the API interface between our visitor management system and Skyward. It’s constantly extracting live information, so we always know who is authorized to pick up a student or step foot on our campuses.”

“We’ve had issues where someone had a restraining order to stay away from school property, but they showed up to one of our locations. With the help of Skyward we were able to contact the school and put a lockdown in place, That day we not only kept one student safe, we kept every student safe. Without Skyward’s data and communication tools, that may have never happened.”

“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.”

"Everyone loves being able to look at grades, discipline, and attendance in one place, Before implementing Skyward RtI, teachers created Excel spreadsheets and printed out mailing labels for the letters that were sent home to every student who had to be tested. Now, Skyward generates forms to email. If there’s no response, they send a letter. Best of all, teams of teachers have access to all of the data so they can figure out what each student needs."

"I would recommend Skyward to other districts, Skyward is focused on the mission of providing an adaptive ERP system so that we can stay focused on educating students."

"The biggest thing is making them more comfortable with the Skyward environment before they actually had to use a live database, The best part of the PDC and the most pleasant surprise were the simulations. I was afraid we’d be stuck with video lectures or ‘watch- and-learn’ videos, or – worst case – ‘read and try to remember."

“Tardy kiosks make students accountable for being late when they have to check in themselves,” at Ocala Springs Elementary School. “Being independent, empowered and accountable are important life skills that will benefit them throughout their lives."
