Leader in Me
Clever is a Leader in Me school. Leader in Me is a focus based off of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Each month 3-5 will focus on a specific habit. Students will receive LEADERSLIPS which highlight when a student is showcasing leadership skills.
The month of December, we will be focusing on Habit 4: Think Win-Win.
Think Win-Win means, "I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. When conflicts arise, I look for win-win solutions." .
Be sure to check out our Facebook pages to see all our Leaderslip earners!

Throughout November, all of our 6th-12th grade students participated in the Signs of Suicide Prevention Training. This training teaches students to ACT: Acknowledge, Care and Tell. A element of suicide prevention is making it okay to ask about suicide and provide honest feedback. Research has shown that asking about suicide DOES NOT put the idea into someone's head. For more information about how you can find help for yourself or someone you love, please visit our Mental Health Matters Newsletter.

Personal Electronic Devices (PED'S)
Personal electronic devices (PEDs) are defined as any cell phones, radios, tape/cd players, MP3/iPods players, laptops, portable video games, etc. The inappropriate use of PEDs or other disruptive devices in school poses increasing risk of disruptions, bullying, criminal activity, and academic dishonesty.
The Clever R-V board of education prohibits the use of PEDs during instructional time from 7:55 am to 3:40 pm on any day that school is in session. This includes the use of restrooms, water breaks, and during a class period.
