Announcements

View announcements you have sent to groups within your school such as Everyone, Parents, Teachers and Students. By clicking into one of these message threads, you’re able to see the message history sent to this group. Clicking New announcement at the bottom of the message thread will allow you to send a message to the group or individual.

Conversations

Note: In order to send a districtwide message via web or app, all schools linked to your district must have Remind Hub. Also, our preferred language translation feature is not available for auto messaging at this time.
