Teachers who use text apps (i.e.- Class Dojo, Remind, etc.) to communicate with parents and students are encouraged by CTA Legal to setup their accounts using their VUSD email only. It provides greater protection from potential issues with the mode and level of communication. It also allows the teacher to show that the communication is District property and “business” – not social.
