Databases
In order to make it easier for users to access learning applications, the school has decided to use Clever. With Clever, you only have to remember one username and password or use a Clever Badge, to log into all your applications. Isn't that clever! See below for some of the tools you will find in Clever.
Please note: Clever is best accessed using Chrome or Firefox as some functionality will not work correctly while using Safari. Clever also has an extension available for the Chrome and Firefox browsers which makes signing in even easier. For assistance with Clever, please contact: helpdesk@allen-stevenson.org
