Call and text parents without giving out your personal phone number

Many parents respond to texts more often than to emails.

Call and text from your computer or your phone

All Voicemail is transcribed, so you can read it!

Keeps a record of your communication with parents - no need to keep a separate log of parent contact.

It's FREE!

For personal use is free. This means you need to register using your personal gmail account. If you don't have one, sign up for one! You will NOT be able to use your smmk12 account.

Sign up on the web so you can call hands free using your computer and read your voicemails and texts on your computer.

Google Voice shouldn't replace email completely. When sending weekly schedules, or big pieces of formal information, email is better and more appropriate ( and we can cc Lori).

Google voice is best for personal follow up (reminders, last minute changes, small problems, check-ins) .
