Blackbaud Student Information System

What do you like best?

As a teacher, one of the best features is the ability to create assignments and grade them all within the program itself. You can create assignments, assessments, and discussions and bulk grade all of them, or individually and write in comments and notes for each activity.

What do you dislike?

The one thing that is a little annoying is that for all of the ease of copying information between sections, if you teach multiple sections of the same course you cannot individually edit class information unless you set them up independently. You also cannot copy any topic information from groups (like homeroom or clubs) to class topics, and vice versa.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We used to have two separate information systems, with all of our classroom content on Haiku and our grading and student records on Skyward. This system completely reorganized all of our content to have it all in one location, which makes student information easier to access and use for both parents and faculty.
