For over two decades, Hartford Union High School (HUHS) has been using Skyward solutions, and if there is a problem to solve or new feature to implement they are always front-and-center to put SMS 2.0 to work.

Instead of getting buried under hard-copy records, HUHS solved that issue by using nearly all of the paperless options Skyward has to offer, including New Student Online Enrollment (NSOE) which drastically made the enrollment process smoother for both families and staff members. They also have streamlined administrative processes by using online registration, online report cards, online test scores via Student Portfolio, online course requesting, Skylert, Message Center, and custom forms.

HUHS didn’t stop there: they continued their drive for paperless admin by creating their own custom checklists. Instead of using nearly 300+ sheets of paper to verify 9th grade student enrollment and checking off when a student provides required documents, they now use a Skyward custom form. Custom forms also helped them assist families with bus routes by partnering with the district's bus company to receive an import of student busing information. This allows easy access for students and parents in Skyward Student and Family Access in regards to retrieving route information.

Hartford Union High School has definitely implemented many Skyward features to help support the students, with a strong staff that is always willing to learn about Skyward and how to best use it in the educational setting.
