Overview
Teachers and students can chat back and forth with Messages right from the Clever Portal! From the students' Messages page, any of their teachers who have enabled Messages will be listed and available to receive a chat. To find out more, read below!
Sending and receiving messages
As long as one of your teachers has Messages turned on, you will see the Messages icon on your Clever Portal.
- When you receive a message from a teacher, you will be notified at the top of your Portal.
From the Messages page, you can view new and previous messages from your teachers and send a reply to continue the conversation.
- On the left-hand side, you will see any of your teachers who have Messages turned on. From there, you can start or continue a chat with any of these teachers.
Please note: If a teacher has never turned their Messages on their name will not be listed.
What if a teacher turns off Messages?
Teachers can turn off their messages at any time.
- If your teacher has turned off Messages, you will be notified and will not be able to chat with that teacher until they have turned Messages back on.
Who can see my messages?
All Message history will be saved for the rest of the school year and can be requested from Clever by a Clever District Administrator.
