Case Study: Platteville School District achieves streamlined state and federal reporting with Skyward

Wisconsin District Discusses Thriving Relationship with SIS and ERP Provider

Platteville School District (enrollment 1,500) faced cumbersome state and federal reporting and a heavy manual workload—IT was responsible for preparing and uploading files and staff tracked changes via email—so the district needed a more reliable SIS/ERP and stronger vendor support. Platteville has partnered with Skyward since 2007, using Skyward’s SMS 2.0 (SIS and ERP) and add-ons like Educator Access and New Student Online Enrollment to modernize its processes.

Skyward implemented automated emails, supported the district’s move to WISEdata (Ed‑Fi integration), and provided ongoing training and hands‑on support, enabling building secretaries to maintain records and reducing IT burdens. As a result, Skyward’s solutions streamlined reporting, made data maintenance year‑round, improved error detection and correction within the DPI window, and helped sustain a 15+ year productive relationship with the district.
