Clever is a service that Distinctive Schools uses to unify login and rostering to many core curriculum programs. Distinctive-managed iPads that students use at school have all necessary apps pre-installed, including Clever.
INSTALLATION
To setup a personal iPad for Clever, you will need to...
- Install the Clever app from your iPad's App Store (personal Apple ID required).
- *You will also want to install the I-Ready app from the App Store. This is a core program for most grade school students.
*No other Distinctive core programs require a downloaded app; they work through the iPad's Safari browser.
Note: the latest iPad hardware and system requirements are listed in their App Store pages.
CLEVER LOGIN
After installation, click the Clever icon on the iPad home screen.
On the "Search for your school" page, type "Distinctive Schools" and choose your campus (West Belden, Lloyd Bond, etc).
Ensure that the following screen says "Distinctive Schools" at the top. (Art In Motion's Clever will say "Distinctive Schools Chicago")
Clever offers three methods of login:
-
Staff & Student Login: younger grades are encouraged to use this option with their student ID# as username.
- example username: 12345678
- password: Ask your teacher or fill out a tech ticket if you do not know.
-
Log in with Google requires typing in full student DS Google credentials.
- example username: 12345678@distinctiveschools.org
- password: Ask your teacher or fill out a tech ticket if you do not know.
- Clever Badges: Teachers may have also provided students in younger grades with a Clever Badge, which is a printed QR-code that stores student credentials and automatically logs in when presented to the front-facing camera.
Please view the following video as your walk-through guide to log in (video has no audio):
Troubleshooting:
"Uh Oh" screen: A common reason for this screen is that the incorrect school/district was chosen. Please verify that your Clever login screen says one of the following at the top:
- CICS Schools: "Distinctive Schools"
- Art In Motion Schools: "Distinctive Schools Chicago"
If your login screen does not read as one of the above, click the "Not your district?" link, then on the following screen search for your campus by typing "Distinctive Schools" and choosing your location.

Please fill out a tech ticket. Be sure to provide student's full name, school, and grade.
