Since we just talked about communication at the staff meeting, I thought this was the perfect time to remind you about this awesome communication tool. Ha - see what I did there? Remind is meant to communicate effectively with students in a way that easy for both of you!
Students’ names are provided, but not their contact information – a safe and easy way to get them reminders that they actually get (instead of email – which they never seem to check!) Parents can also sign up if they want to know what’s going on in the class – just post the information to your website or show it at Curriculum Night!
I use remind to message students about class time ending when they’re working in the halls, the remind them about important deadlines, updated to my website, and much more. Students are able to choose to receive messages via text or email. I love that I can schedule the messages ahead of time, too! It's a great way to make sure the kids know what's going on even when you're out with a sub!
