“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."

"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!"

"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.”

“Thanks to Skyward, we have empowered people in the organization with the data they need to do their jobs and it’s now available on an as-needed basis,” said Haneke, the data would be provided to them, but they didn’t have access to get it on their own and when they needed it most."

“After the resignation of our superintendent and director of operations, I was given the role as the district’s director of information services. Liz Boyles. With my new role, I quickly took the lead on our Skyward needs and helped ensure we had a smooth implementation. Four years after implementation, Boyles is now helping the district stay aggressive in its pursuit of better technology experiences by looking to move to Skyward’s next generation of school management software, Qmlativ."

"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!"

"I have always appreciated the customer service of Skyward because wherever I have been we have never missed a payroll, no matter what the circumstances might have been, Skyward has always stepped in to help with that. Even though I have been a Skyward customer in various districts for over a decade and have always had good customer service, what I experienced has exceeded any expectation I could have had."

"Our parents are thrilled with the Family Access portal for keeping track of student assignments, attendance and discipline. After they realized the power of knowing their grades on real-time basis, the students were equally hooked."

"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."

“No one expected a pandemic to occur, but as our schools shut down, our conversion and conversations with Skyward ramped up, Until July, every single training I did was from home."

"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."
