"The trainers and customer support at Skyward are accessible to us for understanding our diverse needs for as large as we are Skyward has been focused on the needs of our district for continued service."
"All areas from student enrollment to attendance, discipline to grading, and state reporting can be aligned… If you are looking for a company, product, and team to improve workflow for your student management system, there is none better than Skyward."
"There Were So Many Other School Districts In The Area Using Skyward And They Were Committed To Meeting Our Tight Deadline."
“We’ve had issues where someone had a restraining order to stay away from school property, but they showed up to one of our locations. With the help of Skyward we were able to contact the school and put a lockdown in place, That day we not only kept one student safe, we kept every student safe. Without Skyward’s data and communication tools, that may have never happened.”
"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!"
"Our legacy system ran all of our applications that were at the enterprise finance, human resources and student levels, including budget, general ledger, payroll, purchasing and student management. The system we chose would essentially run all of our operations and affect our entire user community."
"I haven't met anyone at Skyward I didn't like. They are genuinely interested and concerned, and ready to listen to anything we have to say."
"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 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."
"Skyward continues to constantly improve their product, keeping abreast of what users need and staying proactive in updating the system accordingly, all while making the software easy to understand and always keeping users up to date. They are a true example of the importance of valuing their customers."
"It’s important to have a vision of what you want to accomplish with technology when it comes to branding and culture, The vision must take into account the current culture and climate within the organization and set a well-defined goal of where you want to go with the new initiative."
"It's About Teamwork, Which Is How It Should Be Between the Vendor and Client. We Didn't Get There With Our Former Vendor, but in Less Than Two Years We Are There With Skyward."
"I work with multiple vendors on a daily basis, and Skyward is one of the best products I help support in our district, since it seems to run at an almost 99% uptime, and their tech and product support is great."
"The consultant finds out how procedures are currently being done, what works, what doesn't work, and then uses that information to build the program to fit our needs!"
