Claiming and Archiving Remind Classes

From Launchpoint, when you log into Remind, you'll see a screen with all your current and archived classes together. If you see a link icon, this means the class originated from your school's SIS and Remind has created it for you.

​

Claiming and Archiving Remind Classes

​

​

• Use the three dots on the right to keep or archive your classes as desired.

​

• Once you click Finish, the classes from "Your class list" will appear on your home page, and the "Classes to be archived" will be in your archived classes section.

​

• You are able to restore your archived classes in your account settings at any time.

Personalize Your Rostered Classes

From the web, click on the name of the class on the left-hand side of your Remind account, and then the settings tab. The Class Icon, Class Name, and the Class Code will be visible and editable here.

Reach Your Entire Class in One Message

Select multiple rostered sections, to reach your entire class.

Reminder about Preferred Language

• With the new two-way translation feature, all you have to do is compose your message and hit send! When you have the translation feature on, we’ll automatically translate your message, and send it to all of your recipients in their preferred language. As long as you have replies turned on, you’ll also receive messages in your preferred language!

​

• There is no need to send messages multiple times in different languages!

​

• Preferred language comes over for each user based on information shared within Infinite Campus. This article shows you how you can set or change the preferred language for parents.

• Users can send and receive auto-translated messages via the Remind app or your account online. If you're an SMS user connected to an organization with Remind Hub, you can also use our two-way translated feature.

Connecting Middle/High Students to their rostered account

Students can add their cell phones to their district Remind account with the following steps:

​

1. Teacher shares the class code of the Rostered Class
2. Student texts the class code to the phone number 81010.
3. When prompted, reply with your student ID number@hallco.org.
