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 can receive LEADERSLIPS, which highlight when a student is showcasing leadership skills.
The month of March we will be focusing on Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw: Balance is Best. Sharpen the Saw means we take care of all four dimensions (body, heart, mind, and spirit).
Be sure to check out our Facebook pages to see all our Leaderslip earners!

AMI Packets
- AMI packets will be used as a review of items previously covered during seated instruction.
- Teachers will be working remotely and will be checking their email and Seesaw throughout the day. Please reach out to your classroom teacher with any questions.
- Completing the assigned packets will result in the student being counted as present for the AMI day. Students not completing work will be counted as absent for the AMI day and the day will count against their attendance.
- If you misplaced your AMI packet, please contact your child's teacher. We will send another packet home upon our return.
- PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD RETURN DAYS 1 AND 2 TO THEIR CLASSROOM TEACHER.
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.
