Thank you to the many families who have transitioned to REMIND for school communications.
Wilkesboro Elementary and all Wilkes County Schools use REMIND for all school communications. REMIND is a two-way communication tool that will allow you to stay connected with our school and your child's teachers. REMIND offers translation and two-way messaging with school staff and allows communication with middle and high school teachers in the same platform.
You must take action to sign up for REMIND. Once connected, you will receive messages and updates from our school in the format you choose. You will also be able to set up notification and communication preferences including your preferred language and method (phone, text or email). We encourage you to set your preferred language in your REMIND profile so that you can receive communications in the language of your choice.
