Here is the Slideshow that we used with our parent meeting on 8/11/2018.
REMIND:
We will use the Remind messaging service for course and co-curricular reminders.Parents are welcome to opt in to those messages if you are so inclined.
To join, send the code below in a text message to the number 81010. Don't add other text to the message, just the @ symbol and the code that follows it. For example, to join the “parent” remind group, you send @bhsscprnts to the number 81010. You'll get a confirmation text asking for your name.
STUDENTS: @bhsscstds
PARENTS: @bhsscprnts
If you use this with a lot of groups, you may prefer to use the Remind App or Web-based dashboard at Remind.com. There, you can see your groups, create groups, and change the way you get notified. You can opt to receive these messages as emails or push notifications instead of text-messages, for example.
