148 Skyward Testimonials

“Before implementing Skyward, we hosted our SIS in-house. We had to make sure our hardware and software were always updated, backed up, and taken care of, which took a ton of time and resources away from our district.”

"My previous experience using Skyward helped push them to the top of our options, but their focus on school districts definitely made our decision easier."

"Before using Skyward we had to create a lot of our own reports to meet the requirements, which on average took us 8-16 hours a day for one to two days. With our new system the reports already exist—we are able to just hit a button and go. And without a doubt we are far more confident that the information is accurate. Skyward has a tremendous amount of experience with those reporting requirements, and they proactively stay on top of any changes. If the requirements change they immediately provide us with an update; that takes an enormous amount of pressure off of us and gives us a lot of confidence."

"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."

"They need to think about their underlying processes, cultural issues with paper, and the capacity of the staff to be able to effectively use a solution like Skyward, If a district successfully commits to that cultural shift, then Skyward is a great and powerful tool to achieve efficiency and effectiveness."

"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!"

"I'm never left to feel unimportant by support representatives and Skyward always goes the extra mile to assist."

"We have grown to love the Finance and HR programs offered by Skyward. The ability to create reports is virtually endless, so it makes managing our financial ship much easier. We are very glad we moved to Skyward and have never looked back."

"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."

"You can only imagine how it was in the past when it came to tax time, Every director had to add up all of the payments for every kid and prepare a statement by hand. Now, we go in and it literally takes us five minutes to run all of the sheets for all of the kids."

"Skyward helps our district by saving us so much time and money. Our department saves 20 hours per week on average using Skyward. We love how user friendly it is and our employees love employee access."

"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."

"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."

"We needed buy-in from our families, That’s why creating opportunities for students and parents to communicate better with the school district was not only an investment financially, but also an investment in the importance of the experience."

"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."
