Here is a Super fast way to Save time communicating with parents

Are you a middle school or high school teacher? If so, then you probably have hundreds of students. I myself have lots of students. With class sizes as high as 53 at times and almost 300 students. Communicating with parents and students outside of class was becoming a time consuming nightmare. Thankfully, I discovered Remind.com

Remind allows teachers to send quick and easy messages from any device for free! You can also send voice memos, links, and attachments. This is a great app for communicating and collaborating with parents and students. I can’t tell you how many hours remind has saved me over the years. In addition, it has helped to develop better relationships with my students and their parents. Here is tutorial on how to use remind. Let us know what you think? Join the conversation here.
