Information Systems is excited to announce that they will implement Google accounts as a convenient and secure way for users to access Skyward systems. This new method will streamline your login process and enhance the overall security of your Skyward account.
In the Skyward Finance system, logging in with Google will be REQUIRED for all staff with a JSD Google account on Friday, Oct. 11, 2024. In the Skyward Student system, logging in with Google will be REQUIRED for all staff with a JSD Google account on Friday, Nov. 1.
Two Easy Methods to Login to Skyward Using Google
- Navigate to the Skyward login screen and select the “Staff Login with Google” button. If you are already logged in to your JSD Google account, you will be immediately logged in to Skyward. If you are not already logged in to your JSD Google account, you will be taken to a Google login screen where you will need to login to your JSD Google account.
- After logging in to your JSD Google account, click the waffle menu in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Scroll down and select “Skyward Finance” or “Skyward Student”.
Benefits of Using Google for Skyward
- Enhanced Security: Google provides a more secure login process by eliminating the need to remember and manage multiple passwords. Also, because you are logging in to your JSD Google account, you will be using multi-factor authentication.
- Convenience: With Google, you can access Skyward with a single click, saving you time and effort.
If you encounter any issues accessing Skyward with your Google account or have questions, please contact the Information Systems help desk at 801-567-8737.
