What is Remind?

• Remind is a messaging tool that helps teachers engage parents.
• Communication can be sent through SMS text messaging, email, the web, through the Remind app, and voice calling.
• Teachers are able to share links, class photos, videos, files, and voice clips with their families.
• Remind phone numbers and contact information are automatically updated from our district's Student Information System.
• Update your contact information with your school's main office in order to receive all messages from your child's teachers and school.
  • Be sure to update your preferred language as well, if you would like to receive and send messages in a language other than English.
