If this GIF accurately represents how you feel about someone’s use of Skyward in your district, we want to hear from you!

Every year, we shine the spotlight on individuals and school districts who are using Skyward to achieve more. We created the Leader in Excellence (LIE) award to celebrate them and share their inspiring successes with others.

LIE winners will be featured in Skyward Insider, on our social media pages, and receive a free registration for iCon 2022, our international conference at the TradeWinds Island Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida!

So what makes a Leader in Excellence? Here are a few examples:

  • A district that has boosted productivity by using tools to streamline processes and improve decision-making.
  • An individual or district that has found a new, inventive way to use Skyward to solve a problem or simplify a process.
  • An individual who has taken the lead in helping his/her school or district maximize the impact of Skyward.

Does your district or one of your colleagues deserve to be recognized? Submit an application today! Every individual and district using Skyward in the 2019–2020 school year is eligible to apply. To learn more or to submit an application, visit www.skyward.com/leaders. The application deadline is November 20, 2020. Winners will be announced in early 2021.   

We believe education technology should always focus on results over features. That’s why we want to thank and celebrate you, the people using our technology to achieve more at your district.
 

Follow-Up Resource: Attend iCon or a User Group!

Learn more about iCon and find your state’s user group on our events page.
