147 Skyward Testimonials

“Skyward was the first system teachers were able to grasp, and it’s more user-friendly than what was used in the past. Being able to access Skyward from home is also a very big benefit. Now they can just log in from any computer and work at their leisure since it’s web-based.”

"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."

"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."

"I get instant feedback if I make a call or place an online work ticket. And Skyward continually gives us SIF updates and software updates."

“I’ve been doing this specific job for almost 12 years and everything is always changing. That’s why using technology like Skyward to its capacity is important. Skyward always has a solution to help us evolve and meet new demands.”

"We've experienced conversions with other companies that were painful and disorganized. Skyward conversions were effective and well organized."

"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."

“A single solution was important versus a separate enrollment software that had to use an export/import or API to get the data into our SIS. We were also looking to get away from a paper enrollment system. Up until that time our district used packets of paper forms that the parents had to fill out. One packet per student.”

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

"Teachers and parents are communicating much more thanks to Family Access and tardy kiosks. Having that type of relationship is important to student success."

"We were excited from the beginning about our move to Skyward, and our district staff had many cheerleaders helping us move through the implementation, The Skyward staff was outstanding in answering our every question and keeping us on task. I am still amazed at what was accomplished in such a short period of time. It was a very positive process and a great move to Skyward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
