Remind – Communications Platform

Remind is a free text messaging app that helps teachers, students, and parents communicate quickly and efficiently. 

Remind is a communications platform that all Lighthouse Campuses use for Parent communications.

Parents, Please register your cell phone number (if you have not already done so) with your campus director so that they can add you to the Remind System.

This will allow you to receive text messages, alerts for any event, deadlines, or reminders from Lighthouse Teachers and the Administration.

This is a great tool to keep all your Lighthouse messages in one place on your phone.

Below is some helpful information about how to use Remind.

Using Remind via text message

Participants receive all messages from one specific teacher in one thread. 

Example: Announcements and messages from Ms. Smith will come from one number (555-555-5555), announcements and conversations from Mr. Jones will come from a different number (888-888-8888). This keeps messages organized and separate from each other. You can save these numbers in your contacts list under the teacher’s name. 

If a class is shared by multiple teachers, messages will still come from the phone number of the teacher who sent the announcement or conversation. So if a class has two owners, the students will receive messages from 2 numbers.

To join more classes, text the class code to 81010 (US only).

Example: Text @math to 810-10

In response to a teacher’s announcement or chat, text these commands to:

• Send a reply: Replying to an announcement will automatically start a conversation. We’ll let you know if your teacher is not available to receive a reply.
  
• Leave all classes owned by this teacher: @LEAVE

• Leave a teacher’s specific class (but stay in this teacher’s other classes): @LEAVE @”code”

———

You can always text @STOP to 81010 as well to block all texts from Remind.

If you are in a conversation with multiple people:

• Leave the conversation (you will no longer receive any responses in that conversation and cannot rejoin. The teacher will need to add you back in if desired.): @LEAVE

Download the Remind app for additional ways to manage your classes and send messages. You can still receive messages by text even if you have the app: rmd.me/a
