Remind 101

I was recently told of this opt-in text messaging app that allows a teacher to send texts to the parents of his/her students. Naturally, I tried it out immediately with myself as a "parent" - I had to see how it worked. Well, it's great! I will be able to send reminders to you of upcoming events, projects due, etc., with ease! More communication with parents is always welcomed.

You can register for the reminders through text (standard messaging rates apply), email, or both. This is a one-way communication app from the teacher to the parents; replies are not available. If further clarification is needed, an email can be sent to abutts@mesquiteisd.org, and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Please put your child's first and last name rather than your first and last name when you opt in through text. That way I will easily know which children's parents are receiving messages. A child's name can be in the class numerous times, once per phone number.

By Text (remember that standard rates apply):

- Send a text to 225-590-5827 with the message @msbutts3
- You will then be prompted to enter your first and last name. Please enter your child's first and last name.

By Email:

- Send an email to msbutts3@mail.remind101.com

- There is no need to put anything in the subject line or body of the email.
- This will be registered to the name that your email address is registered, which is fine!

Looking forward to a great year with new technology for communication!

Cheers,

Ms. Butts
