Skyward, a school administration software provider committed to helping K-12 leaders spend less time on tasks and more time with students has announced a collaboration with ParentSquare, the leading provider of modern family and community engagement solutions for K-12 schools. This partnership aims to create a seamless integration between the two platforms, providing additional options for Skyward customers to enable and increase school-to-home communication for improved student success.
As part of this association, Skyward customers now have an additional option when choosing a communication and engagement platform for their schools and district. ParentSquare has supplied millions of educators and families with everything they need to engage with their families and communities since 2013. The platform offers automatic two-way translation in 100+ languages, text, email, app, or voice messaging options, contact verification and correction tools, and more, making it easy for families to work with their student’s school.
Speaking on the collaboration, President of Skyward, Ray Ackerlund, said:
The more opportunities teachers and parents can communicate with one another, the better equipped both are to help students thrive. By combining the power of Skyward and ParentSquare, communication barriers will be removed, and families and schools can focus on what matters the most — the students.
Comprehensive documentation and inclusion in SkyBuild, Skyward’s tool used to share and export data, serve as a guide for users on generating the necessary data files between platforms. The collaboration also aims to provide reliable and dedicated support for their shared customers. The result is a smooth and efficient user experience for schools, students, and parents.
Founder & President of ParentSquare, Anupama Vaid, commented:
We are thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with Skyward. Combining the power of ParentSquare’s unified communication platform with Skyward’s comprehensive student information systems will empower schools with a high-quality experience that enhances collaboration, engagement, and student success.
This alliance will benefit both SMS 2.0 and Qmlativ Skyward customers. Skyward and ParentSquare fully integrate, with an API coming this fall for Qmlativ customers.
Since 1980, Skyward’s SIS and ERP solutions have helped more than 2,500 school districts save time, connect with families, and empower success. By blending advanced technology guided by actual users with world-class support delivered with a personal touch, the company is the clear choice for K-12 leaders who want to spend less time on tasks and more time with students. In February this year, Skyward announced a partnership with Otus, a leader in K-12 student-growth EdTech.
