School Starts Tuesday, August 4th

The first day of school is here.  There's no doubt that this year will be unique.  Teachers, administration, and school staff have been working extremely hard this summer to make the transition to virtual school.  We are all new to this, and we're in this together.

What do you need to know?  Here is some information for you.

​3. ​What is Clever?  ​What is Schoology?  

Clever is an online portal to many different educational applications.  Once a student logs into his/her clever portal, (s)he can automatically get access to other things like Schoology, Teams, IXL, Flipgrid, and much more.  There's no need to remember a login to all these applications if you have your login to Clever.

Schoology is the school management software MNPS will be using to conduct virtual school.  You can access it directly by going to mnps.schoology.com (or you can access Schoology through the Clever portal.)

Once school gets going, teachers will give parents a parent access code to Schoology.  This will give parents the ability to create their own parent account, to keep track of their student.
