Migration Overview

Our district has been gearing up for a major information system upgrade: transitioning from Skyward SMS 2.0 to Skyward Qmlativ in August 2025. 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 March 2024, departments including the Skyward Analyst, 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.

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.

July 15, 2025 - Skyward database locked

What is Qmlativ and why is it so important?

Qmlativ is the latest iteration of Skyward SMS, an information system West Valley School District uses for data management of student, staff, and financial information, grades, scheduling, attendance, and all business services. Skyward SMS allows for the creation of reports our schools and departments rely on, while also offering important internal uses like payroll, tracking time off, billing and invoice payments, and numerous other uses. Nearly every staff member in West Valley School District utilizes this system as part of their work each day, and some staff members in our school offices and district office use the tool multiple times per day.

What are the "Dark Days" I am reading and/or hearing about?

“Dark Days” refers to the period during migration when Skyward and Qmlativ will not be available. This signifies the final stages of the migration process and is expected to occur from July 15, 2025 through August 1, 2025.

July 15, 2025 - Skyward database is locked
July 15-25, 2025 - No access to Skyward or Qmlativ
July 25-31, 2025 - Data validation and post-migration configurations
August 1, 2025 - Anticipated "go live" date for Qmlativ

As a parent/guardian, how does migrating to Qmlativ impact me?

For now, there will be no changes.

In July 2025, Skyward SMS will go dark for approximately one week, as the database goes through the Data Migration Tool. During this time, Skyward SMS will be inaccessible to everyone, except those on the Qmlativ Migration Team. When Qmlativ is launched, the parent/guardian experience should be seamless, with information available to parents/guardians just as before, existing within a new interface and platform.
