Remind is the notification platform used by Leander ISD to connect with families and staff through text, email and phone broadcasts. It enables district & campus administrators to connect with families without making personal contact information visible.
Getting Started for Parents & Guardians
Leander ISD uses the contact information loaded into Home Access Center to populate profiles in Remind automatically. The first time you receive a message through the Remind system, you will receive an automated message from Remind with instructions on how to claim your account and log into Remind.
If you can’t find the Remind email in their inbox, you can go to the Remind Sign Up page and type in the email address stored in Home Access Center.
Download the Remind app from the Android Google Play and Apple iOS app stores to view all communications coming from the district, your student’s campus and your student’s teachers. Remind is also accessible through a web browser at https://www.remind.com/log_in.
Getting Started for Students
For secondary students, Leander ISD uses the district-created email address for each student. This email account is where Remind will deliver information on how to claim the student account.
Note: The district does not collect student cell phone numbers. If a student would like to manually add their phone number to their profile in Remind, they text the school/class code to 81010. Remind will then reply asking for the student’s ID number.

Not seeing your cell phone on your profile? A phone number can only be listed on one Remind profile at a time, so it’s possible your phone number is already linked to a Remind account with an email address different from the one listed in HAC. If you’d like to merge these two profiles together, select “Add Device” on the Notifications Preferences page and follow the confirmation prompts from Remind.
My contact information in Remind is incorrect. What should I do?
The contact information loaded into Remind is connected to the district’s student information system – Home Access Center. Once the information is updated in Home Access Center, the change will be reflected in Remind the next day.
My messages from Remind keeping coming from a different phone number. Is this on purpose?
Yes! As part of Remind’s process for concealing personal contact information, Remind creates a proxy number per interaction. So when Teacher A contacts you, it’ll be from one proxy number, and then as you receive messages from Teacher B, it’ll be from a different proxy number. Both of these numbers will stay consistent and can be saved in your phone’s contacts.
I received a message in the incorrect language. How can I receive message in my preferred language?
The preferred language information in Remind has been synced with eSchoolPlus, the district’s information system. To update your preferred language on record with the district, please contact the school registrar. To only update the preferred language in Remind, log in to your Remind profile using the email address on file with the district and navigate to your profile’s Account Setting page.
