Solution allows K-12 school districts to manage their student, business and finance information from a single database.
February 12, 2009
STEVENS POINT, WI – Skyward, the industry leading K-12 administrative software provider, announced today
the availability of the latest version of the Skyward School Management System™. The Skyward School
Management System™ is comprised of Skyward’s completely web-based Student Management Suite and their
School Business Suite. It represents the only integrated student, finance and human resources software
package that lets districts manage student progress, annual budget, employee pay, and even food service from a
single centralized database.
“This software is cutting edge technology for K-12 school districts,” said Kevin McFerrin, Skyward Vice President
of Business Development. “Skyward software follows the OHIO method, ‘Only Handle It Once.’ Administrators
are able to make a single change within the software and the results populate throughout the entire system.”
The Skyward Student Management Suite™ operates in a true HTML environment, requiring nothing to be loaded
on the local desktop. This latest version also offers great new features such as the Skylert emergency notification
system, Online Assignments that also populates scores directly to the Gradebook, and even more interactive
tools for opening the lines of communication between families and schools.
Additionally, the Skyward School Business Suite™ now provides greater capabilities for districts to save money
through integrated document storage, electronic accounts payable processing, and expanded position and
applicant processing. The Skyward system allows districts to further streamline daily operations by converting
these paper intensive tasks to a digital environment, thus reducing their impact on the environment.
The Skyward School Management System™ offers seamless integration between the financial management and
student management for school districts allowing them to be more efficient and accomplish more with dwindling
funding sources. This increased efficiency allows districts to focus more of their increasingly limited resources in
the classroom while maintaining a superior level of administrative operations.
Since 1980, Skyward has been serving the K-12 Administrative software needs of school districts. Today,
Skyward's School Management Systems™ are found in over 1,300 school districts throughout the United States
and internationally. Skyward’s School Management System represents an integrated student and financial
management software system designed to keep administrators, educators, and families connected.
