  • REMIND GROUP MESSAGING

    REMIND GROUP MESSAGING

  • "Remind" is the main informational portal for the band and operates very similarly to texting, but done so safely for students, educators, and parents.  

    • You can download the app by entering the following information
    • You can also link it to your texting, which is the best feature

     

    Text the code "@nwkmusic" to the number 81010

    • This will enable you to send and receive texts to music staff and students safely
    • If you were a member of the group previously, you should still be.

     

    Parents and students alike are encouraged to join!
