Concerns with Principal REMIND Messages
On July 23, 2019, users with a free account on Remind were limited to 150 participants per class and up to 10 classes. Since then, Mr. Palacios has been unable to send messages when a class surpasses the free 150 participant size.
Recently, many of our SEM classes surpassed the 150 participant limit. This means Mr. Palacios is not be able to send you free Remind messages anymore.
If you begin to miss out on Remind message -- don't worry -- you can click here for access to our SEM Communications Page. All SEM communication will continue to be posted there. I encourage you to save that link / bookmark on your web browser.
In the meantime, to help undo the classroom classroom overfills. I am asking that:
1) No one should sign up for more than 1 Remind class.
2) The following classes are overfilled.
@ addkhg
11th grade
Filled beyond capacity. No one else should sign up for this class.@ sem-20222
10th grade
Filled beyond capacity. No one else should sign up for this class.
@ sem-2022
Filled beyond capacity. No one else should sign up for this class.
3) Instead, encourage NEW participants to sign up in these classes.
@ sem-2021
Encourage new participants to sign up here for 11th grade.
@ sem-20221
Encourage new participants to sign up here for 10th grade.
@ sem2023
Encourage new participants to sign up here for 9th grade.
