148 Skyward Testimonials

"The log-ins for the students is amazing. The emails for the teachers and parents are incredible, too. I think that’s the future, and I’m always looking for the future."

"The conversion from our previous software provider to Skyward was a simple process and we could not be more satisfied with Skyward. Skyward is so easy to navigate and the training that we were offered proved to be phenomenal."

"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."

"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."

"We were able to successfully submit MCCC reports before the deadline. It's that old fashioned sense of "we've got your back" that Skyward still holds close to their core even though they are growing leaps and bounds as a company!"

"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.”

"Now, When We Talk to Parents, They put Us on Hold While They Bring Up the Information on Their Computer So They Can See It as We Are Talking About It With Them."

“Secretaries were leading other secretaries and so forth, instead of me telling them about my expectations from the backend, We had detailed roll-out plans with expectations for our staff. Tasks were split into ‘required’ and ‘recommended,’ which we still continue today.”

"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!"

“We made the switch to Skyward’s Qmlativ Education Management System because I wanted to consolidate our student and business databases and integrate all the various products that we use, With all the disparate third-party software vendors that we have, touching every account on every platform is honestly my worst nightmare, which was the unfortunate reality when we had our previous software."

"Thanks to HBR 429’s partnership with Skyward and their use of the School Business Suite since 2013, McGuire’s team knew just where to start in their search for a more future-ready SIS. “We were very happy with our experiences on the financial side and were confident that a newer technology like Skyward’s Qmlativ® platform would alleviate some of the pains we had with our previous SIS."

"Many have been at the district for a number of years, and so they were averse to change from the start, But every week I hear from one of them how great Skyward is and how it’s made their life easier. So as the comfort level grows, the confidence starts to come."

"Skyward is a wonderful system and you guys are on top of the Health Care Reform and ACA reporting... We appreciate Skyward being the leader and trendsetter in all of this new chaos."

“Despite our previous information system having documentation on the database fields, it was still extremely difficult to query the database. We interfaced with various systems, but it’s definitely easier in Skyward. The database schema is so well-designed that I am usually able to write an integration interface in a couple of hours.”
