Clever Support

If you are experiencing any issues accessing Clever and/or HMH from home, the problem is usually caused by conflicting credentials on your personal device.

For your student(s) to access the HMH products at home, it is very important that you log out of your personal Gmail accounts before your child logs into Clever. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

- If you are using Google Chrome and have a profile setup in the browser, please log out of it.

- If you are logged into Google.com with a personal account, please log out of it.

- Then access https://clever.franklin-academy.org with either a Clever badge or the provided student username/password
