Directions for how to log in are listed below. If you have any trouble logging in, please contact our technology department hotline at (925) 473-2468. Please try logging in a day or two prior to the first day of school to get yourself acquainted with our new G-Suite platform.

4) Password: Student ID number with pusd in front of it: Example: pusd444445) Once in Clever, download the Clever Extension (this should pop up at the top of your screen as an option once you enter Clever). Do not skip this step.
Step 2: Once in Clever, click on the Google Classroom Icon:
- A box should pop up with your PUSD username and password in it. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TYPE IN YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD. Just verify that it is correct and click OK. DO NOT CHANGE THIS USERNAME OR PASSWORD. If you cannot download the Clever Extension on your device, this box will pop up and you will have to manually enter your username and password.
- Your username should be: _first name initial and full last name @pittsburgusd.net
