I'd be surprised if you cannot pull staff numbers out of skyward - we use
schoolmaster and i was able to put together a simple custom data export that
runs nightly which pulls staff numbers. It is then automatically uploaded to
our voice broadcasting system...I suppose if I needed to look something up I
could go to either the student management system or the broadcast system's
list.

I hope I understand your question - on the flip side, I keep a google doc
spreadsheet with staff directory info, including DIDs and extensions...but I
do not believe you are asking about that.

For the above to work I have three things dancing together: A windows
scheduled task that runs the custom data export - a feature/function of
schoolmaster. A scheduled task that runs a WinSCP command to upload the
exported *.csv files, and a setup with the voice broadcasting company that
slurps the uploads into our school interface.


Are you looking for a good way to get staff phone numbers out of Skyward an
into a document that can be distributed? on paper?
