Remind 101


  Another great communication tool for teachers to use with parents! (I could see this being used by lots of different groups as well: youth groups, departments, athletics, clubs, etc.)


Parent view from teacher, Mrs. Jones



Simple steps to use:
  • create account
    • will allow you to set up different classes
  • send home printable PDF to parents that tell them how to sign up for the texts (they can text a number or email) It is NOT your cell number!!
  • They receive a text saying they successfully signed up! 
That is it!

Now as the creator you can simply login to the site and send a message, and anyone who has signed up will receive this message. The recipient does not have access to your phone number and it does not allow them to text you back.

As a smartphone user, you can download the Remind 101 app now for your iPhone, iPad, or Droid. The best thing about this program is it is all FREE!! Got to love free stuff that works!
