Skyward, a school administration software provider committed to helping K-12 leaders spend less time on tasks and more time with students, is proud to announce a partnership with ParentSquare, a leader in effective K-12 school communications. This partnership will 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.
In welcoming ParentSquare as a preferred partner, Skyward customers now have an additional option when choosing a communication and engagement platform for their schools and district. Since 2013, ParentSquare has supplied millions of educators and families with everything they need to engage with their families and communities. ParentSquare 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 students’ school.
“The more opportunities teachers and parents can communicate with one another, the better equipped both are to help students thrive,” said Ray Ackerlund, president of Skyward. “By combining the power of Skyward and ParentSquare, communication barriers will be removed and families and schools alike can focus on what matters the most — the students.”
Comprehensive documentation, as well as inclusion in SkyBuild, Skyward’s tool used to share and export data, serve as a guide for users on how to generate the necessary data files between platforms. Additionally, ParentSquare collaborates with Skyward to provide reliable and dedicated support for their shared customers. The result is a smooth and efficient user experience for schools, students, and parents.
“We are thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with Skyward,” said Anupama Vaid, founder and president of ParentSquare. “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 partnership will benefit both SMS 2.0 and Qmlativ Skyward customers. Skyward and ParentSquare fully integrate, with an API coming this fall for Qmlativ customers. For more information, visit www.skyward.com and www.parentsquare.com.
