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.
