“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."

"Skyward has been a tool that has saved us much time and effort, especially in the area of term-end grades. Checkout used to be a nightmare, having to reconcile two different systems, but Skyward's grading processes have made it extremely simple."

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

"I found [Skyward] to be relatively easy to learn, even after having no training or prior knowledge Now, having attended the training, I am able to access many more services that I can offer to our students and staff."

“At this time, I was working in the high school library, then in 2008 I started working with our IT department in various capacities. In 2014 our IT department was dissolved by retirements and an outside company was hired for IT support. At that point I pivoted and took over Skyward and the state reporting responsibilities.”

"Skyward has truly been one of our best public relations tools."

"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."

"We need the ability to meet the new requirements of an Internet-driven society, and it is imperative that we have the flexibility to meet the rapidly changing needs of our users. We are confident that, with the help of Skyward, we will provide our member districts with the information and tools they need to drive continued success."

"There is a strong and growing network of Skyward districts in Michigan, and many of those have been instrumental in getting the data hub up and running because of Skyward's willingness to invest time and effort into compliance."

"Skyward's iCon is a wonderful event... It gives customers a chance to put faces to the names of Skyward staff and to feel more a part of the Skyward family."

"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."
