How to log into Clever on an iPad

This article describes how to log into the Clever app on an iPad. Clever is a single-sign-on service DS uses to simplify access to some core programs such as ST Math, Lexia, and Seesaw.  

If you have a DS-owned iPad, you should already have the Clever app on the home screen.  It will look like this:

If you are using a home/personal iPad, you will need to download the Clever app from your iPad's App Store, along with other core DS programs such as ST Math, Lexia Core5 Reading, & Seesaw (all apps are free but will require your personal Apple ID to install).

Please view the following video as your walk-through guide:

• Younger grades can use the "K-1 Login" option with their 8-digit student ID
  • example username:          12345678
  • example password (K-2*):  12345678

• Alternatively, you can also use the "Login with Google" option and provide full DS Google credentials:
  • example username:           12345678@distinctiveschools.org
  • example password (K-2*):   12345678

*(Note: 3rd grade and above use their birthday format password. Please reach out to your teacher or Campus Technology Coordinator if you do not know it).

Troubleshooting:

If you are having problems logging in, a common problem is that the login screen is not the correct district. Please verify that your Clever login screen says "Distinctive Schools".

If it does not, click "Not your district?", then on the following screen search for your campus. Important note for Chicago Schools: DO NOT choose any similar campus that says "Chicago Public Schools", only choose your campus that says "Distinctive Schools" underneath

If you continue to experience problems logging in, please fill out a tech ticket.
