"One of the things that attracted us most to Skyward was the fact that it was web-based. It was very important to us because we want teachers to have access to their gradebook, their online lesson plans, and so forth, at home."
Johanna Whitley

"I worked with ClassLink to establish a SAML connection to Skyward. For several weeks, ClassLink faced challenges getting the connection operational, which became increasingly urgent as the launch was scheduled for the following week. I reached out to our account representative, Jake Schueller, who quickly coordinated with Skyward's IT team. Together, with ClassLink, we were able to resolve the issue during a joint call. Thanks to the collaboration, the connection was successfully established within a few hours."
Cody Cech

"I can't say enough good things about Skyward! I have been using Skyward for over 10 years and have always been impressed with their ability to make customers feel valued.
What truly sets Skyward apart is their outstanding customer service. Their support team is quick to respond and incredibly helpful whenever a question or issue arises. Skyward is always listening and makes improvements based on customer feedback.
Our recent migration from SMS 2.0 to Qmlativ was smooth and painless. Not only are you given personalized support, there multiple opportunities for professional development during the entire process. Skyward made sure that we had all the tools necessary to be successful for our first day of school."
Kathy Reynolds

"The Skyward reps for Skyward Q (student) have been very responsive and timely. They are always quick to help with any issue I may be having, and they are extremely knowledgeable. Each rep has their specialty modules and really help guide and assist me. I have been so impressed with the response time from when I put a ticket in, to when I get contacted by a rep. It is great to be able to build connections with reps, as oftentimes the same reps will take my tickets. The Skyward Knowledge Hub "Contact Us" feature is fantastic and I am so glad that it is part of the vendor package. The reps who answer my tickets have saved me so many times as I fumble through the world of student data."
Melanie Cottongame

"I've had the opportunity to work with Skyward Financial Management and the Human Resource Module for almost ten years. I've been fortunate enough to work with involved and caring account managers who help direct and guide out district to the the information needed to be successful. Skyward has multiple modes of training, including a terrific Skydocs portal with videos and screen shots, a robust ticketing system that allows you to drill down to a specific level of support you need, and in person workshops that support both new financial users of Skyward and advanced users looking to enhance their processes and procedures by working the product to it fullest potential. I look forward to the annual conference and on-line workshops. When you work with Skyward you become a part of a community, partnering and sharing ideas with other school districts is a huge benefit as well. "

"The Mooresville Consolidated School Corporation was the first in the state of Indiana to migrate to the latest Business iteration, Qmlativ (Q for short) in 2024. Some have asked me why.....I say why not? I have worked with the Skyward software for 25 years and there is reason for that. I TRUST them. Skyward is not trying to buy up all of the competition. They are constantly striving to make their software the best that it can be so that it can serve districts just like Mooresville. They focus on what is important to the customer. Have we faced some challenges with our migration? We sure have had some hurdles, but I can honestly say that Skyward is a true partner and has helped us through every step of the way. They do not stop until the job is finished and I thank them for that. When I hear other schools talk about a competitor product and the lack of functionality and flexibility, I can simply say you do truly get what you pay for! I have always felt that Skyward is the Cadillac of all softwares and after 25 years of this ever-changing industry, I still feel that same way!"
Jacque Deckard

"I have recently assumed a new role at the School District of Flambeau, where I am utilizing Skyward for various tasks. I have had to contact their support team multiple times for assistance with entering information and configuring the system correctly. Each time, they have responded promptly and have been enthusiastic in their support, guiding me through the process and teaching me how to resolve my issues rather than simply providing direct solutions. The support team consistently demonstrates professionalism, patience, and a high level of expertise."
Julie Hoefs
Flambeau School District
Wisconsin
"I have used 3 versions of the Skyward student information system and they continue to provide an amazing product that meets the needs of teachers, office staff, administrators, students, and parents. The latest version, Qmlativ, is very easy to use and student data is quickly accessible. I would highly recommend this SIS for a district of any size."
Julie Rotherham

"I've been using the Skward business program for over a year and a half, and the results have been incredible. The platform is user-friendly, reliable, and offers all the tools I need to manage my business efficiently. From streamlined operations to insightful analytics, Skward has helped with supporting our small school district in all many aspects. The customer support is top-notch, always responsive and ready to assist. Thanks to Skward, I can focus more on growth and less on the daily grind. Highly recommended for any business looking to thrive!"

"Our journey with Skyward Q began amidst the unprecedented challenges of the Covid year 2020. While we navigated the challenges of the 2020-21 school year, implementing Skyward Q facilitated the introduction of online forms, wellness tracking, and third-party integrations that enhanced communication and accessibility of student data for families.Our experience with Skyward was exceptionally positive, thanks to the abundant support that ensured a seamless transition to a new Student Information System.
The Skyward support team is always responsive and helpful. Our users find the help center documentation and community training events incredibly useful. I also appreciate the opportunity we have as customers to provide feedback and share ideas to improve Skyward via the Product Ideas space. The portal is easy to use and allows us to see what other users have submitted. It's fantastic to see our ideas come to life."

"For our small team, our partnership with Skyward has been a game-changer for more than a decade. Their engineers have been superheroes for our budget- finding cost-effective ways to optimize our network and datacenter and stretch every dollar. Austin, our dedicated Skyward engineer, is a true asset. He has built a deep understanding of our network and makes targeted recommendations that keep us running smoothly. Downtime is practically a thing of the past thanks to Skyward's proactive approach. If you're a small school district feeling overwhelmed by technology needs, I highly recommend Skyward Technology Solutions. They'll help you maximize your resources and keep your focus on what matters most -
educating our students."

Their friendly and knowledgeable team goes above and beyond, consistently offering helpful guidance and assistance whenever needed. What truly sets them apart is their ability to make collaboration enjoyable and productive, infusing every interaction with a sense of fun and energy that enhances our workflow.
Moreover, Skyward's commitment to cost-effectiveness and their dedication to providing comprehensive training and guidance have proven invaluable to our success. They've become more than just a service provider; they're an integral part of our operations, without whom we couldn't imagine doing our job. If you're seeking a partner who is not only reliable and efficient but also genuinely enjoyable to work with, Skyward is the clear choice."

"Our partnership with Skyward has been a beneficial one that has enhanced our technological systems here at Raymond. One of the achievements we've been most appreciative of is Skyward's work to maximize our domain. After years of band aid fixes, we've been appreciative of the work they've done to make things run more smoothly and efficiently in our building.
We've also been grateful for the problem-solving support we've received. Whether it's a wifi outage, an end-user problem, or an oddity in our system, Skyward has worked hard to find creative solutions that get us running more smoothly. Being new in this role, I've greatly valued the expertise that comes with this partnership. During big projects and small. Skyward has helped us move forward in an effective and efficient manner. "

"As a District Wide Administrator for a school district who utilizes Skyward, I would highly recommend this product to any district in need of a student management or business management software solution. Brentwood has been with Skyward for 16 years and during that time any assistance requested was handled efficiently and affectively by their customer support specialists. I have been able to develop a long time trsut with these individuals and I am never hesitant to reach out with questions."
Melissa Fulmer

"The support we are getting from Skyward during our implementation process is not like anything I've ever experienced in my 27 years of education. If you are considering a move to Qmlativ, or Skyward in general, plan on getting more help than you have ever received. The team at Skyward goes above and beyond to help its clients. The community is amazing!"

"Skyward support has been a very important piece in my success as a database administrator. Whether it was through phone, email or documentation they have been available since I started my position. Their representatives are always quick to respond. Their service offers accommodate the help for legacy systems as well as the opportunity for new technology if needed. I believe any school district no matter their size would benefit with a partnership with this great company."
Jose R. Garcia

"I am delighted to offer my sincere endorsement for the exceptional implementation team and migration process of Skyward, particularly in our transition of HR and Finance to Qmlativ from PowerSchool. While our District only migrated these specific areas, the experience of Skyward Qmlativ has been nothing short of exceptional.
The transition from PowerSchool to Skyward Qmlativ for our HR and Financial programs was a critical endeavor. I am pleased to say that Skyward's implementation team handled it with utmost professionalism and efficiency. Their expertise in these areas was evident from the start, as they meticulously planned each phase of the transition to ensure minimal disruption to our operations.
What truly impressed us was the level of personalized attention we received throughout the process. Our Skyward Project Manager, Kassi Kobylarz, and the entire project team took the time to understand our unique needs and challenges, tailoring their approach to ensure a seamless transition. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in their responsiveness to our inquiries and their willingness to go above and beyond to address any concerns that arose."

"At Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools we made the commitment to switch our previous financial software to Skyward Qmlativ in the summer of 2022. Skyward provided our district with a dedicated customer service transition team and an excellent training team for our conversion and at the point of our implementation. We have been live for almost a full school year and every aspect of the financial software has been an improvement! We are very pleased with the various modules in the Skyward software. A few examples are the accounts payable, purchasing, budgeting, reporting and payroll modules. The purchasing module allows our staff to complete e-commerce orders. This reduces entry time for all of our staff. Payroll processing time has been reduced as the system is more efficient and helped eliminate manual entry. Another positive is the overall ability to upload and download data from the financial/payroll system.
We are extremely pleased with this transition. Overall Skyward Qmlativ has created many efficiencies in the business office."
Aaron Nelson

"At Lakeway Christian Schools, we're always on the lookout for ways to enhance our processes and stay ahead with the latest technology that helps us serve our community better. The transition from SMS 2.0 to Qmlativ was something we eagerly anticipated, and Skyward has been a pivotal partner in this journey.
Transitioning to Qmlativ felt like stepping into the future, yet it was comforting to see how Skyward retained the familiar flow and terminology. Having spent over a year with Qmlativ, I'm impressed by the improvements across all modules—it's clear that Skyward has poured decades of expertise into making their school ERP software even better.
We're genuinely pleased to recommend Skyward to others. Even though we're a private school system and their solutions are often seen in public school settings, we've found immense value in the robust controls and accountability Skyward provides—qualities that are sometimes missing in software designed specifically for private schools."
Tyler Vineyard
Lakeway Christian School
Tennessee
"Before Skyward, we were very frustrated with our business software and student information system. They operated in an outdated manner and were not easy to navigate or train new staff on. The support was also limited, and getting issues resolved was a struggle. Now, thanks to Skyward's business and student solutions, we have the opportunity to use a system that is working to support our needs and allows all users the ability to do tasks in a more timely manner, which frees up time for other work. We also can get the support and training that we need in a timely fashion to help us be successful. These types of changes are big for school systems, and Skyward's migration teams are by far the best in class when completing these changes. They are true experts in both of these arenas and always go the extra mile to make sure that your systems are doing what you need them to do so you and your staff can be successful. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy business solution and student information system, look no further than Skyward."

"Approximately 15 years ago, our school district decided on Skyward’s Student Management Suite, then added tools from Skyward’s School Business Suite. Later, when we consolidated with a neighboring district, the input from teachers, employees, parents, and students made it an easy decision to choose Skyward for everyone’s growing needs. With Skyward’s excellent customer support, we were able to combine the student and financial data from both districts without a hitch. Skyward’s attention to keeping up with stringent data security and mandated reporting measures throughout the years has been superb. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in our district who would consider anything less than Skyward for all of our data management needs."
Mark Rogers

"I have used Skyward IT services for many years now. Their IT systems support team is fantastic, not to mention that they have been extremely beneficial in making my district's network infrastructure what it is today: secure, fast, and reliable. Downtime has virtually disappeared."

"Skyward IT services has been a great partner for the School District of La Crosse in many ways. Everything from offering the most competitive pricing on hardware and software to the managed IT services to help us get things up and running in a timely manner. They offer us as little or as much help that we need based on our experience with whatever we are installing or managing. They are our go to experts when we are in a pinch and are extremely knowledgeable about the systems they are installing and maintaining for us. Their friendly staff quickly become part of your support team when needed. Whether we need some advice or knowledge about products and trends or just some more hands on a project to get it done sooner, Skyward IT services have always been there for us in our over 15 year relationship."

"Our district administrative team found Skyward Qmlativ to be very innovative software that will increase the productivity and efficiency of our staff. The intuitive layout of Qmlative will make learning the software and training new employees a breeze. Qmlativ offers the full suite of features and functionality that allows our school district to cross train within departments to maximize our personnel investment. We are very impressed with the Skyward team from the CEO to the amazing sales staff during our vetting process and are looking forward to building a strategic relationship for decades to come."

"We were able to successfully submit MCCC reports before the deadline. It's that old fashioned sense of "we've got your back" that Skyward still holds close to their core even though they are growing leaps and bounds as a company!"
Lance Feia
Holdingford ISD 738
Minnesota
"We love Skyward's Qmlativ! One of our biggest concerns with moving to a new SIS was support. No need to worry! Skyward's support team is phenomenal. Within 30 minutes I usually receive a call back on a submitted ticket. In most cases, we resolve the issue right then. If the problem requires additional support the ticket is escalated. The support team constantly emails, letting me know the status of my ticket.
I couldn't be happier with Skyward's knowledgeable and courteous support team."
