This article contains information to help family members make the most of Clever for remote learning
Overview
With Clever, your students only need to go to one location and, with a single sign-on, gain access to all of their digital learning resources in one location - the Clever Portal. Whether your student is currently learning from home, the classroom, or both, Clever is here to help your family with all things digital learning!

Accessing the Clever Portal
Computers or Chromebooks:
To ensure your student can access all resources in Clever with a single click, make sure to download the Clever Browser extension on your student’s device. Directions for downloading the Clever extension can be found here.
To log in, simply navigate to clever.com/login and search for your school. Once you have found your school, Clever will remember your selection for future logins. No need to search again! Once you have selected your school, log in using your Badge or school-provided username and password.
If your school has provided you with their unique URL, click on the link and log in using your Badge or school-provided username and password.
iPads:
Download the Clever iOS app. Once downloaded, you can log in by either scanning your Clever Badge or entering your school-provided username and password.
Did you know? Your username and password are managed by your school. If you are unable to log in, please reach out to your teacher for assistance. Clever Support is unable to assist with login issues.
Remote Learning with Clever
Once your student is logged in to Clever, there are several ways you and their teachers can support their remote learning using our platform.
Teacher Pages
Clever Teacher Pages allow your student’s teacher to create a custom page for each of their classes. Think of it as the teacher’s digital classroom in Clever! The teacher page is your student’s one-stop-shop for their digital learning resources where they can access learning resources along with community-building content.
Teacher messaging and announcements
Your student’s teachers now have the ability to communicate with your student directly through the Clever Portal. Teachers can use the Teacher Announcements feature to share an announcement with their entire class. With Messaging, teachers and students can also message via the Clever portal. Whether your child needs extra help or just wants a quick check in to stay connected, with Clever their teacher is only a click away!
Clever Family Portal
Clever now has a Family Portal where you can support your child and their learning.
Student login tools
Once you’ve logged into your Clever Portal family account, select the student you want to assist from the portal home page and then click the instant login button. This will automatically log the student into their Clever Portal on your device.
Clever Ideas
The Family Portal is not only a place for guardians to help their students log in but also a place where guardians can support students who are learning at home. The Clever ideas tab houses these Clever-curated resources. Our team thoroughly vets materials for clarity, relevance, reputable sourcing, and insight for families, choosing only resources that meet our rigorous criteria to share in the Family Portal.
Teacher to family messaging
Teachers can now also directly message families that have activated a Clever Family Portal. This tool gives teachers a simple and direct line to the families they support right from the Clever Portal where they’ve built their digital classroom.
Language support
We know many families will have a preferred language other than English. To help with this, the Clever Family Portal can be configured in multiple languages so family members can engage with the platform in the language that is most comfortable for them.
Please note: If your district has not yet activated the Clever Family Portal you will not be able to take advantage of these resources.
