Navigating JPS Clever Login Difficulties
β οΈ Cannot log in / Invalid username or password
Cause: Incorrect credentials entered or the account is not recognized.
Solution: First, ensure you are using your official JPS Google account username (typically [email protected]) and the correct password. If you receive an 'Invalid username or password' message, double-check for typos. If using a Google login and you see 'Wrong password. Try again,' your Google password might be incorrect. Reach out to your teacher for assistance, as they can help confirm your login details or guide you through password reset procedures.
β οΈ Forgot my password
Cause: User cannot recall their JPS Google account password.
Solution: If your JPS email password needs to be reset, contact your school directly. On the Clever login screen, look for a 'Get help logging in!' link. If your district has enabled it, you might find an option to reset your password using your school-provided email address. Teachers may also have the ability to reset student passwords.
β οΈ Clever account not found for my email
Cause: The email address used for login is not linked to an active Clever account.
Solution: Ensure you are using the precise JPS Google email address provided by your school. If you are certain it's correct and still see this message, it's possible your account isn't properly rostered in Clever. Contact your teacher or the school's technology support for verification and assistance.
β οΈ Missing an application or class on my portal
Cause: Applications or classes are not correctly assigned or rostered to your Clever account.
Solution: Your school's PowerSchool data is the source for rostering in Clever. If there are discrepancies, contact your teacher or school administrator. JPS Information Technology Services cannot directly make changes to PowerSchool data.
