"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."

"We knew that the flexibility and support that Skyward has is what our district needs."

“If we needed, for instance, to adjust our calendar we would need to submit a work ticket to the support team, which oftentimes took several days before that change was made, With how frequently calendars need to be changed, especially lately due to the pandemic, this was extremely frustrating.”

"We hope Skyward will be around for many years to come, We are looking forward for opportunities to grow our long-term partnership."

“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 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."

“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.”

"With Skyward, students have 24/7 access to all grades and missing assignments. Gone are the days of a student using “I didn’t know” as an excuse!"

"Now that we are crawling out of the other side of the pool, so to speak, Qmlativ has resulted in a great system with all of the features we anticipated – and more – that are very unique to the demands for our school community, Our teachers are now dedicated to Qmlativ’s strength and preservation. All in all, the overall result has been very positive."

"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!"

"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."

“When we first came to Skyward, I don’t think that we ever thought of any other ways of hosting our data other than through ISCorp. We figured that since Skyward offers hosting through ISCorp, why wouldn’t we do it."

"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."
