As an added bonus for both students AND parents, I have created an account on Remind.com. This is a service that allows me to send out text message reminders to students (and any parents who want to receive these messages also) about important things coming up, due dates, changes to the schedule, etc. This WILL NOT replace the use of this blog and website to post reminders, assignments, and materials. Nor will a message be a daily occurrence: this is simply an added way for me to easily and quickly communicate when I deem it necessary to do so. This is not required and you will be able to opt out at any time. If you want to unsubscribe, simply reply with the word "stop." This will unsubscribe you from all classes.
This system is totally safe and anonymous. Students will never have or see my real phone number, and I will never see or know theirs. All the system will ask for is the student's or parent's name so that I can see who is added to each class. It is a one-way messaging system that is meant for me to send OUT messages; no one will be able to reply to any message (unless you wish to unsubscribe from the service, as stated above).
Freshman Literature students: text the message "@froshlit" to phone number (480)878-7795 to sign up for text message reminders. If you would prefer to receive email reminders, just send an email (no subject or body is necessary) to froshlit@mail.remind.com. If you ever want to unsubscribe from getting emails, reply with "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
Sophomore Writing (Principles of English 1) students: text the message "@pofe" to phone (480)878-7795 to sign up for text message reminders. If you would prefer to receive email reminders, just send an email (no subject or body is necessary) to pofe@mail.remind.com. If you ever want to unsubscribe from getting emails, reply with "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
