Q: Can students in Grades 1-3 access Clever over the summer?

Students will lose access to these resources in mid-August when upcoming class rosters are created and Sapphire is synced for the new school year. Teachers, we recommend that you DO NOT delete or make changes to the apps on your Clever page(s) during the summer break; we will update class rosters on these apps at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year.
