On this screen, you can choose if you’re a
9. teacher or administrator. Click on your appropriate title. For me, I’m going to click on I’m a teacher.
Next, we will create a class. Once you create

Once 11 you find your school’s name, click the save . button.

If you get a new student in the class, you can add them by clicking on the “add people” in the top right hand corner
With Remind, you can send out messages
14 and announcements to your students and . parents. If you click on messages, you can send a private message or a message to everyone in the class.
