During InService this year, our staff went through a breakout session over communication. I like to think that I communicate well with parents, but I know I can always do better.
Our principal introduced Remind 101 to us based on the suggestion of one of our 6th grade teachers, Sarah Williams... THANKS Sarah!
www.remind101.com
Remind 101 is a FANTASTIC and FREE web based texting service that your parents can sign up for. You simply setup names for your individual classes and then send out the simple instructions for your parents to sign up for text messages.
NO... YOU DON't give out your personal cell number. You text via the Remind 101 website. Barely any work for you or the parent!
You can then send out reminders to a whole class about tests, field trips, assignments coming due, etc.!
I will be using it in my classroom this year! Already set up and ready for Open House to provide instructions to parents.
Hope this helps make your communication process a little more effective this year. I LOVE technology!
Maas Out!
