I'm joining Jasmine from Buzzing With Mrs. McClain for her fabulous You Oughta Know blog hop.  I was so excited to join in the hop last month, and I was even more excited to join in again.  Let's get started.

I think you oughta know about....Remind 101.  Do you struggle with sending home reminders to your classroom parents?  I know I did and then I found Remind 101.

It's free to sign up and super super easy to send messages.  The best news is that the parents don't see your phone number, so it is totally safe to use.  Your parents will just text your class code to the phone number given when you sign up.  There is also an app that they can download to receive the messages.

My favorite part is that you can schedule messages to be sent on a certain date and time.  How awesome is that for all of us busy teachers?

I hope you are able to use Remind 101 in your classroom this year.  It has been a real time saver for me!

    I've been using it for a couple of years now and love it too! Except it's not Remind101 anymore, they've changed it to just Remind. My trouble is, no matter how much I've tried, half my class is not signing up this year! Help! What do others do to get the parents to do it?

      Hi Dawn, my plan is to remind the ones that haven't signed up during parent conferences in October. I'll have a qr code to sign up on the table to share. I hope that helps you :).

      Hi Lynda, I have a few that aren't signed up :( but I did put out a qr code to join at open house night. That helped a lot!
