"I think the biggest challenge that we faced had to do with interfacing and getting different systems to play nicely with each other, And the amount of time and energy it took to get things together – to work as efficiently as we wanted them to – was a huge thing. It affected the efficiency of the office for sure, and we got to a point where I think it was affecting our performance here."

"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."

"We can see who has read an email, skimmed it or deleted it without opening, Teachers can then reach out to parents who have not downloaded their student’s report card, for example, to be sure everyone is staying engaged."

"I would not be making it through the 1095c process if it wasn't for the great people at Skyward. The instructions and trainings have been vital to me. Thank you again!"

“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.”

“I once worked at a district using multiple databases, each of which didn’t always easily communicate well with the other. That alone makes Skyward stand out, because it interacts and integrates so much easier. From a superintendent perspective, the time savings alone have been key. I am responsible for approving many items and the more I can do with the click of a button, the easier my job is.”

"As a high school Registrar, Skyward allows me to print and create reports quickly and efficiently, from grades to attendance and discipline. It can all be printed in one report within seconds."

"I think parents do a really good job in elementary school, but as students get older, I think parents start to disconnect. And I’m a firm believer that it’s more important in high school than elementary, so we are trying to re-engage."

"I see [Skyward] as being sort of that front door. If we can get people to walk through that, then we can introduce them to other things going on at the school that will hopefully make their child’s career even better."

"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."

“The biggest problem we had at our high school was the delay in timing as far as collecting and ascertaining the data and getting to high-needs students in proper time,”

"Recently, I worked with Skyward’s customer service. I was provided with great expertise and I saved probably ten hours of work. I really appreciate their assistance and expertise!"

"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."

"I use the Attendance and Grade modules most often in my position. Skyward simplifies end-of-term tasks, as the recording, averaging, and generation of report cards is automatic."
