Remind Codes

Remind text messages are the most important way the we communicate with students and parents. Mr. Mooney sends out weekly updates throughout the school year, and boosters use Remind to communicate important volunteer information.


Parents and students should make sure that they're signed up for their correct Remind groups to ensure that they get the most up-to-date information!


To join your group, text the message below to the number 81010.
