Remind - Communication Tool
We are using Remind to communicate about academic assignments and general announcements.
Remind is a free service that lets me send quick messages via text, push notifications, or email to everyone involved with the class. We’ll be able to stay in touch without revealing our personal contact information.
Parents should feel free to communicate in any methods that work best, email, school phone, parent-teacher conference, etc.
