Question

Answer

Does BPS use Remind/Remind101?

In an effort to reduce the number of platforms necessary for families, Remind/Remind101 is no longer in use in the BPS district. Beginning in the 22-23 school year, all school-sponsored classes, activities, and communications will come directly to you via text, email, Canvas or the BPS App.
