Overview
Clever teachers can send announcements to students via the Clever Portal! Teacher announcements provide a quick and easy way to share announcements with your students via Teacher Pages. Students are even able to reply to teacher announcements!
Please note: Viewing teacher announcement data (student views and replies) supports teacher pages with less than 200 students shared. If teachers have more than 200 students shared with their teacher page, please consider creating multiple teacher pages so they can view student replies

Click the teacher announcement button at the top of the page.
Craft your announcement and click Post! You can select whether or not to allow student replies by toggling the "Allow students to reply" button. Student replies are only visible to you.
