I am using a teacher to parent texting system, called Remind101 as one of the ways to communicate with parents. This service allows for unlimited texting by teachers. All parents are encouraged to "opt in" to this program to receive text messages from Mr. Borgeson about things that are happening in and around our classroom. No phone numbers are visible to anyone involved. Send a text message to (424) 277-2107 with the message @mrborg to join. That's it, you're in!
