Literacy Enrichment

Clever Parent Letter:   At Mease and Taft (K-4) we use Clever to help students sign into the various apps. This program allows students to sign in with one username and password for *most* apps. Above you will find the instructions to set-up and use Clever on your computer at home.  If you need the clever login please contact your child’s teacher.
