Sign Up to Receive Important School-wide Communication
Shoesmith will continue to use Remind, school-wide, for the 2022-2023 school year! If you're not already familiar with Remind, it's a classroom and school communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning. Remind is free to use, and you'll be able to get and send messages on any device—even a simple text from your phone!

Here is a video demo to see how Remind works. We're excited to make connecting with our families more engaging!
