        Thanks for all the feedback! This is on the to do list for smartphone apps. Teachers will have the option to turn this feature off as well. The response will not be a direct message, but to a private class forum…this is for safety issues.

        Would love to hear further feedback!

        • Have an option to select certain students/parents to send a reminder

          Let's say during period one I noticed that 6 students didn't turn in their home work. Wouldn't it be nice to click next to those students/parents and send a message letting them know their son/daughter did not turn in their homework?

            Hi Rodney,

            Great request, this is highly demanded. We have to consider safety aspects but are thinking about ways to solve this for you, especially with an app.

            Stay tuned!

            When I have sent some of my messages, sometimes parents/students have a question about it.

              • Add a "staff" section

                I am going to try this with all of my staff members as an building principal. I think you should add staff as an option along with parents and students.

                • Integrate automatic reminders with google calanders.

                  I'm a teacher who has a class website. I post all my homework, test, quizzes, etc. on a class website calendar that I run through my Gmail calendars. It would be simply wonderful to cut out the middle man so to speak and have a direct pipeline from my Google calendar to my remind101 students.
                  Thanks and great work so far.

                  • allow replies and one on one texting

                    one on one texting - being able to click on a student's name or icon and then being able to directly text that one student without having to send a mass text.

                    allow replies - allow students/parents to respond back to sent texts so I know they received the test.

                      Thanks for the feedback, we’ve had the feedback request quite often and will do our best to implement it. Regarding individual texting, I don’t think we can do that for now for safety reasons.

                    • include dates onprevious messages sent.

                      currently previously sent texts show up as a chronological list. It would be great to have the date sent included for documentation (ie- teacher can respond: I sent a remind101 test on 11/25 at 3:00pm changing that assignment.....).

                        Maybe I am missing something, but I would like to send the same message to my students every Thursday. Is there a way to set up the scheduler to repeat events?

                                This is an excellent idea, especially having students sign up via your website. Definitely doable.

                                My only worry is, that then anyone who visits your site can sign up and receive alerts for your class. Are you alright wit this?

                                  Be able to turn off or on replys to text messages. I dont want to get 150 replys. This is to remind people, its not to have a conversation. Especially with high school students. Some parents dont want you talking with their kids on their personal phones. This is a great tool to protect you from law suits.

                                    Allow you to send messages to only a subset of subscribers to a given class or set of classes. (Most likely use: to contact students/parents who have not turned in X, etc.)

                                    This service is amazing, thank you!

                                      Great suggestions, you’ll see we just added the ability to message multiple classes at once. Individual user messaging is on the to do list.

                                      Thanks!

                                      I would love a link to look at only reminders scheduled to go out in the future, in case I need to change dates.

                                      • Allow teachers to add students

                                        Sometimes in the process of getting information home, parents may never get the instructions for signing up. What about if you have the ability to add your parents to a group so they can then reply that they would like to sign up.

                                        • Can I have the option to only text a select group of people?

                                          There are times when I would like to only text 2-3 people as a reminder. Can you make this option available?

                                            HI Camille,

                                            Not quite yet, sorry! We are moving as fast as possible to build smartphone apps but are listening, thanks for the feedback.

                                          • Look at a calendar

                                            would it be possible to have a place on your site where you could look at all of the reminders in one place for the month and scroll between months. A calendar link set up similar to google calendar. To be sure that I haven't duplicated or forgotten important reminders.

                                              Hi Deanne,

                                              Great suggestion. We don’t have that feature quite yet. So I understand what you are requesting…you want a easy way to view all sent and scheduled messages for all class in one place? Do you want to export scheduled messages to your calendar as well?
