Fairmont Area Schools

Shari Hines, a seasoned Skyward user with a tenure almost as long as the district's Skyward implementation, has made indelible contributions to Fairmont Area Schools’ proficiency in using the platform. Over the course of nine years, she spearheaded the creation of standards-based gradebooks and report cards for E-8 staff members, fostering consistency in assessment and grading practices across the district. The impact resonates particularly in the transition from elementary to high school, as the streamlined approach ensures a seamless experience for 7th and 8th-grade students entering the high school setting.

Shari's expertise extends beyond mere documentation, serving as a linchpin in the Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Collaborative efforts among teachers to align assessments with standards are guided by the structure she established, enhancing the efficacy of the PLCs. Her commitment to the district's Targeted Services Program is evident through her adept use of Skyward to create class lists, manage bussing information, and facilitate streamlined communication with families.

Shari always displays great enthusiasm about using Skyward, and thrives when she gets to problem-solve. She takes great pride in her work and diligently completes any task, and always looks for new and innovative ways to streamline processes in order to get tasks completed as efficiently as possible. Fairmont Area Schools would not be using Skyward as effectively if it were not for Shari.

As the go-to expert for all things Skyward, Shari takes ownership of tasks, relentlessly seeking ways to leverage Skyward to streamline processes and enhance overall efficiency. Serving on the Skyward steering committee, she not only problem-solves with fellow users but also shares her enthusiasm for the platform. Shari's dedication is evident in her proactive approach to finding innovative solutions and her unwavering commitment to ensuring the district maximizes the benefits of Skyward. Fairmont’s effective use of Skyward owes much to Shari's passion, problem-solving prowess, and invaluable contributions to the district's success.
