Remind
Messaging for Learning and Engagement
All schools and teachers are able to send messages via the two-way communication tool, Remind.
Schools and teachers can send messages to the whole class, a select group, or just individuals and families can opt to receive messages via text, email and/or calls - and in the language of choice.
Getting Started on Remind
Is Your Contact Information Correct?
- Family contact information is based on information provided in the MNPS Campus Portal.
- To make sure you receive messages, update and/or confirm your contact information in Campus Portal.
- You also can add additional contact information in your Remind account.
Creating Your Remind Account
- First-time users will receive a text message or email to the contact information found in the Campus Portal with instructions on claiming the Remind account.
- Once you claim your account, you will be able to automatically join your student's classroom. You also may join classes, or especially created groups, by texting a specific code.
- If you already have a Remind account, you will have the opportunity to merge them.
- Note that not all schools and/or teachers may use Remind.
