Technology Support

Clever is our District’s new portal system.  All parents and students have an account in Clever to help them get connected to all the other systems we will be using.  Students and parents log into Clever differently.

Parents will log in to Clever at https://family.nsd.org.

The parent portal will give parents access to buttons for ParentVUE, Schoology, and other district systems.  It also provides a method for helping students to get logged in on their device.  This is called “Instant Login” and should be used only when a student has trouble logging themselves into Clever.

Parents were sent invitations to join Clever the week of August 17.  If you did not receive your invitation, please visit https://family.nsd.org and click “Reset Password”.  Enter the email associated with your Northshore account.  An email will be sent with password reset information.  If you have not received the email within 48 hours, please contact your school office.

Students will log in to Clever at https://my.nsd.org.

Student accounts follow this pattern: the username is their email address and their password is the password they ended last school year with or the default (for new students).  Student accounts use the student’s ID number.  If you do not know your student’s ID number please look at their information in ParentVUE.  If you do not have a ParentVUE account, you can request an account and activation code here: https://form.jotform.com/200321140182132 

Clever & Schoology Family Orientations

Northshore is providing ongoing opportunities to learn about our Remote Learning model and to gain an understanding of these new systems and getting started with Clever and Schoology.  We are actively updating our website with information based on questions we are getting from our community.  To see the schedule of Orientations and to view other important information regarding device checkout, meals, and other programs, please visit https://www.nsd.org/northshore-learns/support.

You can follow these links for information on how to access Schoology. All students and teachers at SAS will be using this system, so it is important to get familiar with before we begin school on September 2nd.
