Talking Points provides two-way communication with families in more than 145 home languages. Educators and administrators can use a website or mobile app to message families. Families can respond through text or an optional app.
LEARN subscribes to the district plan so all educators will receive a paid account and contact information for students' families & guardians is automatically sent over to PowerSchool.
Classroom teachers can message the families of students in the classes rostered to them in PowerSchool.
Administrators and support staff (e.g., nurses, guidance, counselors, social workers) can message families of all students in a school.
Note: For safety of staff, students, and families, all messages are automatically archived and can be viewed by the administration at each school.
