Step 1

Open your computer or tablet. Once you have signed into your device you will need to make sure that you are connected to wifi. If you are not, you will need to select a wifi network and enter that network’s password.

Step 2

Once you have connected to wifi, open the Google Chrome internet browser. We highly recommend that students use the Chrome browser as our technology support team will be able to push updates to your students’ LEAD account and browser through Chrome. To install Chrome, go to http://www.google.com/chrome/ and click the blue “Download Chrome” button in the center of the page.

Step 3

Now that you have Chrome installed, you will need to sign into the Chrome browser in order to have access to all apps, bookmarks, and Chrome extensions that are available to your student.

Click on the person icon in the top right corner of your browser (this may be an image or a letter depending on if you have signed into your browser using another account).

Step 4

Click the blue “Turn on sync…” button as shown in the image above. Google will take you to a page where you can log into your browser. Enter your entire LEAD Public Schools student email address. For example, if your email address is “john.smith3@stu.leadpublicschools.org”, enter the entire email address and then, click “Next”.

Step 5

Step 6

Enter the password to your LEAD student email address.

Next, you will see a pop-up that asks if you would like to link your data. Click the “Link Data” button.

Step 7

After you’ve linked your data, Chrome will ask you if you would like to turn on your sync. Click “Yes, I’m in”.

Step 8

Once you have successfully signed into your Chrome browser, navigate to Clever by either (1) clicking on the Chrome extension in the top right corner next to the navigation bar or (2) clicking the “LEAD Bookmarks” folder and selecting “Clever Portal”. Clever is a resource that we will use to share learning applications and other class/schedule information with your student.

Step 9

After you click either the Clever Chrome extension or the Clever bookmark, you will be taken to a new screen for Clever that looks like the one below. Click “Login with Google”. If you are signed into multiple accounts, select your “LEAD Public Schools” account. Otherwise, you will be taken to your Clever portal.

Step 10

After successfully signing into Clever, your portal will look similar to the screenshot below. This is a personalized webpage that gives you access to your teacher pages for your classes, Google Classrooms, classroom apps, and school-specific links like Zoom.  The great thing about Clever is that it puts all of your school resources in one place, and it also will automatically sign you into some apps, and will remember your password for other apps and links once you’ve signed in.
