RemindRemind, formerly Remind101, is a communication tool that helps teachers reach students and parents where they are.

Remind is a communication app for your phone or other device that coaches can use to stay in touch with team members and parents without exchanging cellphone numbers. The coach/admin can set up an account and have team members and parents subscribe to the team. This way updates and notices can be pushed out to all stakeholders efficiently.
