“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.”

“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.”

"Online applications. Online Evaluation. No more paper. Skyward's [Applicant Tracking] Module is efficient and convenient. Streamlining our evaluation of candidates saves us valuable time and money."

“The marketing firm made a video for us that we sent to every parent in the district about the move to standards-based grading, That way they knew the changes to expect, why we were making the switch, and the benefits that would come with switching.”

"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."

"I've had other school districts call to ask about our experiences with Skyward as they look to make the same switch. I can easily run through the advantages we've realized in our 2 ½ years in the system."

"I would absolutely recommend Skyward I've had other school districts call to ask about our experiences with Skyward as they look to make the same switch. I can easily run through the advantages we've realized in our 2 ½ years in the system."

"We are very happy with the Skyward Special Ed Module. I find myself using it not just for writing IEP's, but for broader data collection features as well. I love it!"

"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."

"Our legacy system ran all of our applications that were at the enterprise finance, human resources and student levels, including budget, general ledger, payroll, purchasing and student management. The system we chose would essentially run all of our operations and affect our entire user community."

"I haven't met anyone at Skyward I didn't like. They are genuinely interested and concerned, and ready to listen to anything we have to say."

"What I Didn’t Expect Was For The Students To Embrace It So Much. It Can Be Three O’clock In The Morning, And There Are Kids Who Are Checking Their Grades. It’s Crazy."

"That time during the school day is really valuable, and I weighed out what our needs were, We needed a way to account for students."

"It would be the best decision they ever made, I told Skyward’s CEO Cliff King this is the easiest year I’ve had in the last 19 years. All the information is in the program, it seamlessly transfers to the state, and all of my numbers work out just fine."

"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."
