How to Share Your Supply List on Google Classroom, Remind, and More
Your ClassGear supply list is a link. Here's how to drop it into every platform where parents actually pay attention.
A supply list is only useful if parents see it
You can build a perfect supply list and still have parents show up unprepared on day one — if the list never reaches them, or if it lands somewhere they don't check.
ClassGear gives you a URL for your list. That URL works everywhere. Here's how to put it in front of parents on the platforms that matter.
Google Classroom
In your Google Classroom stream, click Create → Material. Give it a title like "Back-to-School Supply List — Please Read Before Day 1" and paste your ClassGear URL in the link field. Post to all students.
Parents who have access to their child's Classroom account (via the Guardian Summaries feature or a student-shared login) will see the material. Students who do their own school prep will see it too.
Remind
Remind is built for teacher-parent messaging, so it's one of the highest-visibility places you can post.
Create a new message and paste your ClassGear link directly into the message body. Remind linkifies it automatically. You can also use the Announcement format for a broader broadcast at the start of the year.
If you want to track engagement, use Remind's read receipts to see which families opened the message.
SeeSaw
In SeeSaw, post the link as an Activity or Message to families. Include a short note explaining what the list is and when they need to shop by. Parents receive a push notification on their phone — direct, immediate visibility.
ClassDojo
ClassDojo's direct messaging feature supports links. Post the ClassGear URL in the class story and optionally in a private message to families who haven't confirmed receipt.
Your school or district's parent portal
Many schools use PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or a custom district website with a parent portal. If you have access to post content, add your supply list link to your teacher page or class page.
Email (the reliable fallback)
Welcome-back emails are still one of the highest-engagement teacher-parent touchpoints. In your welcome letter (whether it goes home as paper or email), include your ClassGear URL as a clickable link and write it out as well for parents who print the letter.
Example: "This year's supply list is available at [your ClassGear link]. You can shop directly from the list using the buy buttons on each item."
The benefit of a single link
Because ClassGear gives you one URL that you share everywhere, you only need to update your list in one place. If an item goes out of stock or you change your mind about a product, you edit the ClassGear list and the change is immediately live — whether parents find it via Google Classroom, Remind, or a link in a text message from a friend.
No reprinting. No re-sending. One link, always current.
