“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.”

"I can’t wait for the second-year version of this story, We are going to see all the benefits and reasons we converted this next year and in year three we are convinced it’s going to be even better. Skyward is the perfect software to grow with us and that feels really good."

“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.”

“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.”

"You can only imagine how it was in the past when it came to tax time, Every director had to add up all of the payments for every kid and prepare a statement by hand. Now, we go in and it literally takes us five minutes to run all of the sheets for all of the kids."

"Skyward has truly been one of our best public relations tools."

"Many have been at the district for a number of years, and so they were averse to change from the start, But every week I hear from one of them how great Skyward is and how it’s made their life easier. So as the comfort level grows, the confidence starts to come."

Now, as soon as a teacher makes a change, that change is available instantaneously, which is a major benefit."

"The log-ins for the students is amazing. The emails for the teachers and parents are incredible, too. I think that’s the future, and I’m always looking for the future."
