speaking from the parent lens... My own children's teachers use Remind and I really like it. All three of my kids are in elementary level of school, but Remind is a great tool. Again, from the parent lens, it is great. As a teacher, I've used Remind with students a few years ago, and again, I feel that it worked really well. However, I have moved toward slack. I like that much better. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 10:21 AM Jeremy LaClair <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I can second Bloomz...
