Clover’s Connected Classroom

Welcome to

Our district mission is to prepare each child for a successful, productive and responsible

future. Mobile devices increase our connectivity to people,

places and things which connects students to limitless

learning opportunities because they will have access to the most current information on any topic through the Internet and to our learning management system where they can communicate,

collaborate, create, publish and learn as they grow in successful,

productive digital citizens.
