• What is Remind ?
     
    Remind is a web based app which allows teachers to send group and individual text messages.  Individual students must join the group. Individual texts may be sent but all correspondence is archived to protect both the teacher and students. Group member cell phone numbers are NOT collected by the website therefore the teacher does not have direct access to phone numbers for texting individual students. 
     
     
    Why do I use Remind ?
     
    It allows me to send quick messages to my classes reminding them about quizzes, tests, bringing books, changes in schedule, etc
     
    Can parents receive these text messages?
     
    Yes.   See below about how to sign up. 
     
    How do I sign up for Coach Keltner's Remind text messages?
     
    Find your class below.  Text the class code for your class to  81010
    If you receive a reply text asking for your name, please enter your first and last name (NO NICKNAMES).
    You may also be asked if you are a student, parent or teacher.  Please respond with S for student.
    You may also be asked if you are under or over 13 years of age.  Your answer must reflect that you are OLDER than 13 or you will not be allowed to join the class.
     
    Can I respond to the messages sent to me through Remind?
     
    Yes.... if you you download the Remind app.
     
    No..... if you receive the messages through normal text messaging.
     
    If I do respond to a message with the Remind app, does it go to the whole class?
     
    No, only I will see your response.
     
    Why do you use Remind and not another app or regular text messaging?
     
    1) Remind is an app designed by teachers with the safety of students and educators in mind. Therefore. ALL messages are saved to the Remind server and can be 
    accessed by school administrators at any time.  This protects teachers from students claiming inappropriate messages were sent when they were not and it protects students from
    teachers since there will be a record of what was sent that cannot be deleted.
     
    2) I can send messages to more than 10 people at a time.
     
    3) Remind allows me to schedule messages to go out at specific times on specific days.  Therefore, I can set up reminders to go out the night before a quiz or test several days
    ahead of time so I don't forget.
     
    PLEASE REMEMBER THAT REMIND IS A HELPFUL TOOL TO KEEP YOU INFORMED.  IT IS STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP UP WITH THE CLASS CALENDAR
    AND STUDY FOR A QUIZ/TEST, EVEN IF I DO NOT SEND A REMIND MESSAGE!
