"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."

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

"As a high school Registrar, Skyward allows me to print and create reports quickly and efficiently, from grades to attendance and discipline. It can all be printed in one report within seconds."

"Skyward is leagues ahead of every other system out there that we are aware of when it comes to state reporting. They are on top of it, always knowing what new requirements will be imposed on the districts."

"They need to think about their underlying processes, cultural issues with paper, and the capacity of the staff to be able to effectively use a solution like Skyward, If a district successfully commits to that cultural shift, then Skyward is a great and powerful tool to achieve efficiency and effectiveness."

"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!"

“I love the API interface between our visitor management system and Skyward. It’s constantly extracting live information, so we always know who is authorized to pick up a student or step foot on our campuses.”

“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.”

“At this time, I was working in the high school library, then in 2008 I started working with our IT department in various capacities. In 2014 our IT department was dissolved by retirements and an outside company was hired for IT support. At that point I pivoted and took over Skyward and the state reporting responsibilities.”

"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."

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

“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.”

"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."

"If a teacher sees a drop-off in performance, they can immediately share their concern with the parent, Or if they are entering an A+, they can also send a message of praise and encouragement. If these communications relied on the teachers opening up their e-mail, copying and pasting the parent’s email address, etc., they would probably never take place."

"My previous experience using Skyward helped push them to the top of our options, but their focus on school districts definitely made our decision easier."
