District admin privileges
For district administrators with the Remind hub.
At Remind, district administrators have distinct privileges from school administrators. As a district administrator, you have the highest level of control in Remind. You can:
- Send districtwide or school-wide announcements
- Send an individual message to anyone associated with the district
- View and update district-level settings, including:
- Enable or disable urgent messages for all schools, if you have the premium feature
- View and download engagement statistics as well as message history for all schools
When you sign in to your Remind account, you will only see your district listed on the left navigation panel. Since we do not add you to every school in your district, you will not receive school announcements unless you choose to join a school.
You can always click the Schools tab on the district dashboard to view a list of all the schools connected to your district. You can also select a school to access the organization's administrator dashboard and review its communication data - including announcements school administrators and teachers have sent to their community members.
To receive messages from specific schools in your district, you must join the schools. Also, to link any classes you own to a school, you must be a member of that school. Once you are a member of the schools, the schools will appear under the Schools section of your left navigation panel.
Learn how to join a school here, and read this article to learn more about how you can link classes you manually created to your Remind account. At the moment, you must contact our Support team for assistance when you want to leave a school.
To give all school administrators the ability to send urgent announcements to their school, click the Settings tab for your district, select Organization settings, and then select On under Urgent Announcements. You can return to this section at anytime and select Off if you want to restrict urgent messaging to district administrators.
