REMIND 101 - For Parents & Students: NOT REQUIRED- OPTIONAL for parent/student use
I have setup an account with Remind101, a one-way text messaging and email system. The purpose of Remind 101 in Language Arts will be to send reminders of due dates, assignments, homework, and any related class reminders. These messages will be sent 4pm-7pm when needed. Students and parents can both subscribe (free) to the class. Please follow the instructions on the attached PDF I sent out to parents. Once you message, it will ask you the following:
1. Reply with your full name
2. Are you a student? Yes or no
3. If student, enter birthday YYYY-MM-DD
4. If student, "Last step! We must tell your parents you're using Remind. Reply with their email address."
That's it! All signed up :)
WHAT IS REMIND AND WHY IS IT SAFE?
Remind is a one-way text messaging and email system. With Remind, all personal information remains completely
confidential. Teachers will never see your phone number, nor will you ever see theirs.
