Barrow County School System is focused on improving how we communicate with families. Even before we began Learning from Home, BCSS recognized we needed to improve the communication tools available to teachers and families. We want to give parents more control and confidence in the communication they are receiving from schools, and ultimately strengthen those relationships.
To provide more customized options for how families want to receive communication from your child's teachers, school and the school system, BCSS has partnered with Remind. Remind is a Communication Tool that provides a number of features including text messaging, translation, and voice calling.
Once a teacher has claimed their class roster in Remind, then students and parents (listed in Infinite Campus) will receive a notification from Remind. To make sure your information is correct in Infinite Campus, please visit our Family Update Website to change your contact information. You can make changes for each of your children in one place.
