While it may be difficult for most people to be everywhere and do everything (and do it with a smile) Kimberley Israel makes it look like a cinch in her role as the enterprise applications coordinator.

Kimberley is the district's champion for Skyward. Every day she supports the multiple demands from the district for the many SMS 2.0 modules they use, and she does so with a crisp project management style that not only achieves results but also helps the users to understand how to navigate Skyward themselves. Her expertise has also made enrolling new students much easier, and has given the Eanes ISD opportunities to learn about students through custom forms before they even arrive through the door.

Kimberley doesn’t just keep all of this know-how to herself, however. She is known for her gift of imparting knowledge to others around her, and she appreciates the desire for others to learn and grow. Kimberley worked to get Skyward instructions out to teachers that included overviews, videos, and step-by-step sheets, and she placed these helpful instructions right on the home page for teachers logging into Skyward so they could find answers quickly about common questions. Kimberley takes the time to train the district’s tech team and others by way of creating training tools and documents with screen shots and step-by-step instruction, and even by reaching out to nearby districts with experience with a given issue.

Plain and simple, Kimberley is the one who makes Skyward so user friendly for Eanes ISD. If she doesn't know an answer, which is rare, she knows who to ask, and how to make progress. Kimberley has an analytic mind and enjoys helping others with kindness and a fantastic sense of humor.
