Remote Learning Tools
Clever: Our digital learning portal
Clever is a portal for students in all grade levels to access learning tools and resources collected by their teachers.
To log in enter a student’s email address (jsmith@helenastudent.org) and password. If you need your student’s username and password, email the student’s teacher as soon as possible. Many online textbooks, assessment tools, and other student needs are directly linked in Clever.
Email: Microsoft Outlook
The most important component to successful online learning is communication, and email is our primary method of communication in this online learning environment. Teachers and administrators will monitor their email throughout the school day, and students should check their email regularly for messages from their teacher or school.
Learning Environment: Microsoft Teams
Many teachers are using this platform to assign work, give students feedback on assignments, and conduct face to face meetings. Students can log into Teams using the Clever portal.
Learning Environment: Moodle
Some teachers are using this platform for additional assignments, quizzes, tests and many other activities. Students can log in to Moodle courses using the Clever portal.
