148 Skyward Testimonials

“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.”

"We've experienced conversions with other companies that were painful and disorganized. Skyward conversions were effective and well organized."

"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."

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

"They see it as very simple for them to use – it’s pretty intuitive, and I think they feel comfortable using it, We don’t get a lot of questions on ‘how do I do this’ or ‘how do I do that’ – they can easily log in, and with the options for them to choose from, the system is not overwhelming."

"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."

"We’re not going to have the errors on timesheets – before a person could put down ‘8 a.m. to 4 p.m.’ and say that was 10 hours, There are not those kinds of addition errors or calculating errors on both the employees’ part and the people who process payroll. When you’ve got that many manual timesheets to go through to check and approve, and only a certain amount of time to do it in, there’s a chance for errors."

"True Time is part of the culture here. It’s like using email now. It’s just something they do, and it’s easy for them to do. It’s so convenient."

"We are a small rural district with a small business department. Skyward allows us to efficiently and accurately complete important financial tasks."

"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."

"Skyward looks at the challenges districts face and finds ways to ease the burdens or eliminate them altogether, Skyward not only listens to us, but they try to achieve any outcomes we seek. It’s the only software company I know that operates at this level with its customers."

"Performing AP tasks with Skyward is organized and easy. It has simplified our processes and made reconciling all accounting seamless and accurate. It also allows quick access to past invoices and payments."

"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 once worked at a district using multiple databases, each of which didn’t always easily communicate well with the other. That alone makes Skyward stand out, because it interacts and integrates so much easier. From a superintendent perspective, the time savings alone have been key. I am responsible for approving many items and the more I can do with the click of a button, the easier my job is.”

"Skyward helps our district by saving us so much time and money. Our department saves 20 hours per week on average using Skyward. We love how user friendly it is and our employees love employee access."
