In Case of an Emergency-Remind App The Remind app is used by the athletic director or coach to send urgent information quickly to the parents’ cell phones in situations when mass amounts of people need to be notified immediately (No bus, last minute game/practice cancellation, etc.) Phone numbers are hidden and responses go directly back to the sender. This app should not be used for general questions about the season. Please join now. If you don’t have a cell phone on you, I will add you before the first meet or you can go on our website and get the information from the presentation. If you don’t want to be part of this, please send me an e-mail and I’ll remove you. Track and Field
