Are you taking advantage of the Google Classroom-Skyward integration? This feature gives teachers the freedom to spend more time on what matters most: educating students.

We partnered with Google for Education to build a grade export between Google Classroom and Skyward’s Gradebook. This means when teachers enter grades and assignments into Google Classroom, they can be exported to Skyward, eliminating the need for duplicate entry and saving valuable time for teachers.  
 


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Skyward solutions are supported?


A: This integration supports both Skyward SMS 2.0 (SaaS customers only) and Skyward Qmlativ.



Q: How do I know if my district is eligible to use this integration?


A: You can connect Classroom to Skyward SMS 2.0 if you:
  • Are a school district that uses Skyward 2.0 with the LMS API license.

We hope the Google Classroom–Skyward integration helps you save time and work smarter this school year!
