Attention:  Band and Guard Parents/Students

The goal of Remind101 is to create a safe way for teachers to communicate with parents and students.  The teachers never see parents/students numbers, nor do parents/teachers see theirs. The number used to send out information is generated by Remind101.                                                                                                                                

This is going to replace the phone tree we have used in the past.  You may opt to receive the messages by text message and/or email.  We have separate groups for band and guard.  This allows the staff to send out information specific to the groups. To sign up:

To receive texts directly from Mrs. Fugate send the following texts to (614) 503-4882: 

LHS Bands text: @londonband 

LMS Bands text: @lmsbands 

Beginning Band text: @bband14

You will receive a text asking for your full name.  You must do this to enroll. It is important you include your real name.  Fake aliases will be removed and you will no longer receive updates.  This is to ensure only students and parents/guardians receive information.
