Remind Resources:

Every person on the trip should sign up for Remind. Communication will be distributed through teams by the students, but any major announcements that affect everyone will go out over remind. This is the ONLY way to communicate with Ms. Waite on the trip. I likely won't answer emails.  If you want to avoid the drill reminders at 6:30AM, you can hold off registering until 11/20/25 ... But don't forget!
