Migration Overview
Our district has been gearing up for a major information system upgrade: transitioning to the new Skyward Q in April 2025. This move promises enhanced functionality across key areas of payroll, finance, and human resources.
To facilitate this transition, we're rolling out specialized training in Ethena on March 10. These training modules are assigned according to different employee groups, ensuring tailored learning experiences.
This project represents a significant undertaking for our district. Since July 2024, departments including the Business Office, Information Technology, and Human Resources have been involved in the planning and implementation stages.
As with any major technology upgrade, there will be obstacles along the way. Your patience and flexibility are appreciated as we all endure the growing pains before experiencing the benefits that will come with the upgrade.
