Overall Satisfaction with Skyward Student Management System

I have been using Skyward for the past 13 years if not more. It is user-friendly and very convenient to use. I am able to successfully put grades in without any issues. I even use the app on my phone when I'm not in front of the computer. Skyward has made my life easier. I take attendance on Skyward and I even use it to write up not only my students but other students who are enrolled in the same school. My entire district uses Skyward for progress reports and report cards.
  • Put in grades of students for every semester.
  • Skyward electronically averages student grades.
  • Put in comments for report cards every nine weeks.
  • Take attendance daily.
  • Find student information regarding addresses, contact information, student allergies, parental rights etc.
  • Write up students if necessary.
  • Response to intervention is now available on Skyward.
  • Skyward logs me out if it's inactive for a certain period of time and that frustrates me as a user.
  • At the end of a semester, when a lot of users are on Skyward, Skyward server goes down and this happens frequently.
  • Skyward allows parents to view their kid's grades all the time.
  • Parents have access to view report cards online and are accessible 24x7.
  • Parents are aware of which area specifically their kid needs to work on and how the class performed on that particular skill by seeing the class average.
Igpro was pretty much the same as Skyward but Skyward is a platform which has multiple usage. A lot of goals can be achieved simultaneously on Skyward unlike the old system.
I find student contact information and student risk factors/student allergies [helpful] especially when I receive a new student in my class.
Conduct grades can be more specific/narrow instead of being too generic/wide.
