​​Talking Points allows teachers to communicate with parents via text messages easily - including parents who don't speak English. Talking Points is a two-way multi-lingual platform that allows teachers and parents to communicate in over 100 languages. Teachers use a web or mobile application to send messages to parents who receive them in their home languages as text messages or through the parent mobile app. Parents can reply in their own languages because Talking Points will automatically translate it to English for teachers. The software will sync directly to parent contact information in PowerSchool. Please sign up here: Talking Points

Emailing is another way to communicate. Please understand that we have 48 hours to respond but try to respond in 24 hours. We do not check email, during instruction, after school hours, on the weekend, or during breaks.
