The Lake Forest School District will be using Remind for all family communication for the 2023-2024 school year.
Remind is a safe messaging app that offers two-way communication.
Families can access Remind on any device and can set their notification preference (text, email, push notifications via the Remind app).
All parents with accurate information in eSchool will be automatically rostered to their child’s classroom teachers.
Stay in Touch with your child's community by following the steps below:
Step 1: Set up your parent account
Step 2: Choose your notification preferences and account settings
Step 3: Send and receive messages
Learning to use Remind is simple. We're making it even easier with tips, how-to's, and helpful resources for using Remind with your school—so let's dive right in.
Lake Forest School District has created accounts for parents. Check the email you have on file with the school for instructions on logging in, claiming your account, and then viewing your classes.
Log in to your current Remind account. As a parent, your account will be separate from your child’s account, so be sure to put in your own name and details when creating your account.
Pro Tip: Two accounts aren’t better than one. If you’ve used Remind in the past and think you might have multiple accounts, make sure to merge them so everything lives in the same place.
Step 2: Notification preferences and account settings
Once you’ve logged in, navigate to your account settings to choose how you’d like to receive message notifications: via email, SMS text, or the Remind app.
Now that you’ve chosen how to receive messages through Remind, take some time to confirm your profile settings (inside your account settings) are as intended.
Now that your classes are set up, you can send your first message! When you want to create a new message, use the composer.
Also, take a look at the messages you’ve received so you can stay up to date with any happenings that your community is discussing in Remind. If you want to learn other ways to reply to messages, here are a few articles to get you started.
