Formally known as Remind 101, Remind is a great communication tool for teachers and coaches! Professionals still have the privacy because Remind does not give out your personal cell phone number, but it still allows you to send text messages to students, parents, and athletes. Stakeholders sign up to receive your texts with a class code, and they immediately are in the know! Remind is a must for communicating anything from reminders about tests to announcing school delays and closings!
