On the 9th Day of Techie Wonderland my SBTS gave to me, Talking Points, to help support communication between school & home!
Talking Points
Teachers can send a message in English and parents/guardians will receive and send any messages from their preferred language through text messages. Teachers can send parents/guardians reminders, attach pictures or files, send a poll and other communication using Talking Points.
Staff log into Talking Points using their Google (@fcpsschools.net) account on their FCPS provided device. Since FCPS has recently acquired the premium version, class lists and contact information has been uploaded & sync with SIS. Messages can be sent to individuals, small groups, or whole class.
