Start experiencing Clever Portal 2
On February 14, 2019 we announced new powerful features in Clever Portal 2. We’re excited to share that everything is ready for you, your students, teachers, and staff to enjoy!
Some features are available for students, teachers, and staff already, and they’ll see others as district administrators enable them in their Clever dashboard.
We can’t wait to hear how these updates will make accessing learning software even easier, empower teachers to manage online instruction, save valuable time at the district level, and at the end of the day, improve student learning outcomes.
