REMIND - A GREAT WAY TO STAY CONNECTED!
For those of you with children in middle and/or high school, you're probably familiar with Remind and how valuable it can be in helping keep up with your student's schedules! We use it in class as well in an attempt to make your life as a parent just a little bit easier. With Remind, we can send you texts with time sensitive reminders or last minute schedule changes (for example, "Picture Day tomorrow!", or "Field Trip on Friday; please fill out permission slip if you haven't done so") that are beneficial for you to know.
To subscribe to the service, text @floresrays to the number 81010.
