[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if folks like the remind app and feel it has increased communication between parents and teachers [/quote]

It could be good potentially but we need to streamline the methods of communication.  Keep Remind and let people get used to it for several years.  Cut one of the emails and eliminate the contact options through Synergy and Canvas.  One email and Remind.  [/quote]

Agreed. What I don't like re: Remind is that MCPS gave Remind access to our personal phone numbers and I am getting texts from parents on my phone. MCPS does not pay for my phone and should not have provided my number to Remind. Also, I have opted out of having my phone number attached to Remind communications, but every time MCPS refreshes data with Remind, my phone number is uploaded into Remind again. [/quote]

Technically they didn't give anything to Remind. Remind transmits messages to you because it's synced with Synergy, which has that info. If they unsync Synergy, Remind has none of your info.[/quote]

Not true. I never signed up for Remind either. As soon as I sound out the first message, I was horrified when my phone started blowing up with messages. You have to physically go in and change settings so your phone number doesnt show up. I definitely didn't give my admin permission for this. Not sure who set it up, but you're lucky whoever set it up at your school respected you enough not to do that, but don't diminish other people's lived experiences. [/quote]
