A Year Of Improvements
Clever is a secure pipeline between your district's data and the learning applications that you and your students use.
Clever single sign-on (SSO) is our single-sign-on solution, allowing users to log into applications with a single set of credentials, configured at the district level. With the ease of only one username and password, Clever can help teachers reclaim valuable class time. Students and teachers can open their devices, sign into the Clever Portal, and click on their connected applications to automatically access the online learning program!
If you want your students to be able to log into your schools Chromebooks with the Clever Badges please submit a ticket via our helpdesk including the serial numbers of all of the Chromebooks you want to use and I will configure them!

Netflix Access to be blocked
While Netflix is great for home subscribers, it's not meant to be played in a group setting. In fact, doing so is copyright infringement.
Computer Services will be blocking access to Netflix soon. However, we'd like to give you the opportunity to start phasing Netflix programming out of your lesson plans now.
