Skyward Qmlativ Migration
Skyward Qmlativ Migration Overview
Our district has been gearing up for a major information system upgrade: transitioning from Skyward SMS 2.0 to Skyward Qmlativ in July 2026. This move promises enhanced functionality across key areas of student information, payroll, finance, and human resources.
This project represents a significant undertaking for our district. Since December 2024, departments including the Superintendent’s Office, Business Office, Information Technology, and Human Resources have been involved in the planning and implementation stages. This includes meticulous migration planning, data refinement, and configuring training access to the Knowledge Hub Professional Development Center (PDC), and user security access to the TLA.
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 Qmlativ.
