"Tardy students were a constant issue, Staff lost a lot of instructional time checking students in.”
“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.”
"One of the things that attracted us most to Skyward was the fact that it was web-based. It was very important to us because we want teachers to have access to their gradebook, their online lesson plans, and so forth, at home."
"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."
"We hope Skyward will be around for many years to come, We are looking forward for opportunities to grow our long-term partnership."
"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."
“Before implementing Skyward, we hosted our SIS in-house. We had to make sure our hardware and software were always updated, backed up, and taken care of, which took a ton of time and resources away from our district.”
"There is a strong and growing network of Skyward districts in Michigan, and many of those have been instrumental in getting the data hub up and running because of Skyward's willingness to invest time and effort into compliance."
“Having a centralized, online solution for district and employee information has been essential to our operations. Not only has it freed up our office staff and made reporting easier, but employees feel more empowered being able to take control of their own information.”
“After seeing what Qmlativ offered, from the SQL database to the flexible interface, we recognized that it fit in line with our vision for the future. It contained the most important qualities we look for in education technology: accessibility, attentiveness to district needs, in tune with national, state, and local changes, instant support, and a continuously evolving product.”
"Skyward helps our district by having phenomenal technical support using the chat feature. It saves a ton of time and is the best I've ever used."
"Payroll data entry is efficient with Skyward, and we now have the ability to track changes made for each employee online to verify deductions were changed correctly, pay rates are implemented timely and stipends are set to be paid."
"The biggest thing is making them more comfortable with the Skyward environment before they actually had to use a live database, The best part of the PDC and the most pleasant surprise were the simulations. I was afraid we’d be stuck with video lectures or ‘watch- and-learn’ videos, or – worst case – ‘read and try to remember."
"Employee Management is the key to keeping payroll records accurate, The most obvious benefit is the reporting – no more building queries. Data mining is much more user-friendly!"
"We need the ability to meet the new requirements of an Internet-driven society, and it is imperative that we have the flexibility to meet the rapidly changing needs of our users. We are confident that, with the help of Skyward, we will provide our member districts with the information and tools they need to drive continued success."
