Best Practices Submitted From Schools
Forest Hills Middle
- From Teacher Dana Crocker - "I have set up Remind 101 accounts for all 5 of my classes! It is working great! I send home homework reminders for the week on Monday! Remind them of test that we have coming up in the week! The parents seem to enjoy it because they know what is going on it their child's life! AND its easy!"
- From School Counselor Colleen Raper - "I send a monthly newsletter out via the school website, my counselor website and paper copies."
Lucama Elementary
- From Teacher Robin Bass - "I use the REMIND app to send reminders of daily homework and other important information to my student's parents. I make a point to do this daily as soon as the children leave and I think the parents look forward to the reminders to keep a tab on their child. Of course, updated numbers are a must."
