147 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."

"Tardy students were a constant issue, Staff lost a lot of instructional time checking students in.”

“My advice to other districts is to give your staff, especially your office staff, plenty of time to learn and experiment with the system while implementing. The more comfortable they are once school starts, the better."

"Thanks to HBR 429’s partnership with Skyward and their use of the School Business Suite since 2013, McGuire’s team knew just where to start in their search for a more future-ready SIS. “We were very happy with our experiences on the financial side and were confident that a newer technology like Skyward’s Qmlativ® platform would alleviate some of the pains we had with our previous SIS."

“There was no way to provide total employee information such as salary, time off balance, and check history all in one place, Work was duplicated since employee information had to be entered in both systems.”

"Skyward is leagues ahead of every other system out there that we are aware of when it comes to state reporting. They are on top of it, always knowing what new requirements will be imposed on the districts."

"Now we are able to have everything in one place, saving us loads of time and headaches. For example, the Skyward Health Module does away with the cost and support of our previous third-party health office system."

"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."

“After seeing what Qmlativ offered, from the SQL database to the flexible interface, we recognized that it fit in line with our vision for the future. It contained the most important qualities we look for in education technology: accessibility, attentiveness to district needs, in tune with national, state, and local changes, instant support, and a continuously evolving product.”

"Easier navigations and report building were big improvements that I saw and excited me!"

“I still tweak around with a lot of the reports, If I can’t figure it out myself, Skyward is always quick to respond on my support tickets with the answer."

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

“When we first came to Skyward, I don’t think that we ever thought of any other ways of hosting our data other than through ISCorp. We figured that since Skyward offers hosting through ISCorp, why wouldn’t we do it."

"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."

"I have noticed that there has been an increase in communication between myself and parents. They will contact me if they see something concerning with their student's grades."
