Engaging students and teachers outside of the classroom is one of the most effective - and challenging - practices for increasing learning outcomes. Remind makes the process simple and safe. With the educational app, teachers can send one-way messages to parents and teachers without revealing their own personal contact information and without ever knowing the contact info of families and students. Signing up takes less than a minute. Educators may then add up to 10 different classes for free. From there, students and parents send a text message to a particular number with a message that includes a class code. Once parents have signed up, educators can be in touch with them as much as needed to keep everyone informed and working together.
