TROUBLESHOOTING
  • A student linked his or her account with Clever but is not showing up in a teacher's class and/or is not seeing the assignments.
    • Possible issue #1: Allow up to two school days after a change in PowerSchool for NoRedInk to catch up.
      • When a roster is updated in PowerSchool, Clever will pick that up overnight. But that change won't then pass to NoRedInk until its next sync with Clever, which could be up to one day later.
    • Possible issue #2: Teacher and students are using the wrong semester class.
      1. When classes first synced up from PowerSchool/Clever back in August 2019, both semesters looked identical and the UPPERMOST one was usually the SECOND-semester class, not the first.
      2. Teachers naturally assumed the opposite, so they often relabeled the courses incorrectly. Then the teacher and students used the 2nd-semester class during 1st semester, not realizing it until someone's schedule changed and the roster didn't update in NoRedInk (because the teacher wasn't actually looking at the 1st-semester class, but the 2nd-semester class). 
      3. So you need to go to the OTHER class for that same period in NoRedInk and see if the roster is correct in it. If it is, that tells you that is the class synced with the current semester and the one you and your students should be using. The district CANNOT manually fix things. Instead, you and your students need to start using the correct class instead of the incorrect one.
      4. To switch them, log into NoRedInk and click your name at the upper right.
      5. Select Manage Classes.
      6. If the other class for that period is shown in the left sidebar, click it and skip to step 8.
      7. If the other class for that period is NOT shown in the left sidebar, click View archive at the bottom of the left sidebar. Find the class in question and select Unarchive class, then confirm Unarchive class.
      8. Click on a class and select the Students tab. Look through the roster to see if it correct. If so and you labeled the class incorrectly, click the Details tab and select Edit class and correct the Class name, then click Save changes and have your students begin using that class. Consider opening the other class (for the other semester), clicking the Details tab, and relabeling it and/or selecting Archive class so you and the students will no longer see it. You can unarchive it later if needed.
    • Possible issue #3: The student needs to reset his or her Link with Clever account 
      1. The STUDENT should log into NoRedInk.
      2. The STUDENT should click his or her name at the upper right and select Settings.
      3. Look in the right column for a Link with Clever account button. Press it if available and you're set up. But if there is no such button, continue to step 4 below.
      4. If you see Associated with Clever account: and a long code in italics, you can try resetting that, but first you'll need to temporarily link with Google.
      5. Click the Link with Google account button, select your account and enter your credentials if necessary. You should see in Settings it now shows Associated with Google account: and your district Gmail address.
      6. Now click the red Remove button beside the CLEVER account association to delete it.
      7. Once that is done, click the Link with Clever account button in Settings.
      8. Once you have the Clever account linked again, you can click the Remove button for the GOOGLE account.
