A free, safe way to text message your students, parents, team members, club members, and others. Set up your classes on the Remind101 website and then use the document that Remind101 sends you to communicate the directions to your students, parents or others.
Sample instruction document from Remind101
We had a service project at our school where students could bring in their old jeans to be donated through an organization called: Teens for Jeans. I set up a Remind 101 account with my first period (the project was promoted as a contest among all first period classes) and had them use their cell phones to register to be part of the group. I sent two messages. One in the evening and one at 6 am. (you can create a message and set it to be sent at a time in the future). Students received the messages but have no way to respond or communicate with me personally. The very next day 36 pairs of jeans were brought in by my students! I was so proud and excited that this communication tool worked so well!
