Remind 101

This is a great way to send all your students text reminders about homework, tests or deadlines approaching.  Even better you might want to text your student's parents.  Here is what an educator says about the app,

"Remind101 is a fantastic app - my students do not use it. I teach 2nd grade, but their parents ALL use it. It's changed the way we connect at school. Information is delivered to where the parents 'already are' - on their phones. They don't have to wait for a newsletter or log in to a separate site.  It's fantastic! - Safe, Secure, Easy, Free... YAY!"
