Completing Back-to-School Forms
How Guardians Fill Out a Yearly Paperwork for their Students in Skyward Qmlativ SIS
On this page
Each year, the Back to School (BTS) Forms are opened prior to the start of school. Some forms are blank, and some have information from the previous year.
Each form is broken down into its own “step” and must be updated by parents with any necessary changes each year. Even if a form's fields are filled out, the system will not recognize it as “completed” until a Complete and Review button is clicked on for the corresponding step. This action works similarly as an electronic signature.
Parents have to submit the entire form in order to get credit for completion. Many parents mark all forms “complete” but never submit the packet in the last step.
This article provides essential information and helpful instructions for how to ensure the forms have been completed and the packet has been submitted properly. Please refer to the LISD website for even more Back-to-School resources.

Once logged into Skyward Qmlativ SIS, verify you are in the Family Access portal.
Click the green Back to School Forms tile under your student’s name.
Click Start. Carefully read all directions included on the Instructions screen. Then, click Complete and Next to begin.
Work through each step of the back-to-school forms. Depending on your student's grade level, you may have more or fewer steps. There are required steps that must be completed by law, and then there are optional steps that you choose to skip or fill out.
Click Complete & Next once you are finished entering information and move to the next step. A checkmark displays next to completed steps in the left-hand menu.
At the top of the final required step, click Complete & Review. You will be taken to the Review screen to review the information you entered for each step.
Scroll to the very bottom and check the box to confirm all the above information is correct. Then, click Submit Form near the top of the screen.
You see a screen thanking you for submitting the form. You can then click Return to Dashboard beneath the message to return to the home screen.
You will need to repeat this process and complete the back-to-school forms for each student you have enrolled in the district.
