Image result for remindAs we continue to gather for activities in our busy schedules, we have multiple outlets for communication (newsletter, Facebook, etc…) we’d like to try a new way to quickly communicate our activities since most of us have cell phones.  The Remind service is used by many educational groups to notify via text service and we’d like to try this for KOHS to make sure we get the word out quickly and to as many people as we can.  Instructions to sign up below:
  • From your phone:  text @kohsnc to the number 81010
  • Email:  https://www.remind.com/join/kohsnc
