We are excited to announce the upgrade to Qmlativ Family Access is complete and families can now log in to the new platform.

Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 transitioned to Qmlativ (Skyward 3.0) for the 2025-26 school year. Qmlativ offers enhanced features across a wide range of areas, including student information, grades, scheduling, attendance, food service and much more. More information about schedules and teacher assignments will be available starting August 13, 2025.

If you are returning this school year, and this is your first time logging in to the new Qmlativ Family Access, you will need to click "Forgot Your Username or Password" and follow the steps to log in to your account.

Log in to your account here. Please note, School District 123 does not keep track of passwords, however, your school’s main office can send you a reset link.

D123 uses the Visitor Aware Program to immediately identify visitors and create a temporary ID badge to wear for the duration of their time spent at our schools.

In order to ensure a smooth visit to the ELC, please use THIS LINK to complete the pre-registration for Visitor Aware for any future classroom volunteering and visits inside our building.

You will be prompted to take a picture of yourself and answer a few questions, including Driver's License #. Once you complete this, you will be added to the system and will not have to resubmit this information every time you visit the building. You will receive a QR code via text and email to scan which is what you will use when checking into the school for a visit.

You can find common questions about the Visitor Aware System answered HERE. Click HERE for SPANISH.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact the Main Office.

Register for our next webinar on September 10, from 12:30-2, with optional reflective practice to follow for IDTA members only! We’ll explore how sensory differences can impact participation and, more importantly, how to bridge those gaps. You’ll leave with practical, ready-to-use strategies to spark engagement, encourage skill growth, and foster joyful, positive interactions at home, in the community, and everywhere in between. This is your chance to gain fresh tools and inspiration to help every child thrive.
