Communications Platforms
Understanding Remind
Remind is a platform that allows our teachers and leaders to share information with families via text, email, or push notifications. KIPP DC will automatically create an account for all family members who selected to Receive Notifications when registering for school this year. If additional family members also want to receive Remind notifications, they should reach out to their student’s classroom teacher to get added or receive the classroom code. If you are receiving messages from an old class or school of your student’s, you can reply with @LEAVE to be automatically removed.
