💥 REMIND IS BACK! 💥
We are excited to share that Remind is back! If you're not already familiar with Remind, it's a classroom communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning and events that are happening at school. Remind is free to use, and you'll be able to get and send messages on any device.
You should receive an email from Remind. All you need to do is follow the steps in the message to finish setting up your account. If you do not receive a message, please visit the Remind website and sign-in or create an account.
Here are two important codes that you will want to sign-up for immediately:
@wseseagles (Westside Elementary School) - This is the school's communication from the administrative team.
@wsesbuses (WSESBusRiders)- If your child uses school transportation, sign-up for this Remind communication to receive information about any bus changes, late pick-ups/drop-offs and anything else bus related.
Be on the lookout for a Remind code from your child's teachers. Sign-up to ensure you are staying informed.
We're excited to being using Remind again this school year to make connecting with you easy and engaging!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
