The TalkingPoints mission is to drive student success by using accessible technology to unlock the potential of family engagement in children’s education. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Sign in to your account. Go to www.talkingpts.org and click on the Login button.
Step 2: Review & update permissions for Schools.
Before you and your team start using your accounts, it's important that you take a look at the current settings for school admin, teachers, staff and adjust as needed. Fortunately, you are able to set permissions on a school-by-school basis, giving you a bit of extra flexibility.
Step 3: Ensure all school admins have accounts.
Once in your account, take a look at the list of school admin for each school. If there are any other members of school leadership that do not yet have an account created, you can add them to the school's staff list and give them school admin permissions.
Step 1: Click on 'Staff & Roles.'
Step 2: Click on 'Manage Staff.'
Step 3: Click on 'Add staff individually.'
Step 4: Enter the staff member's information, and click 'Invite.' This will email them an invitation to set up their account.
You can also create your own roles if any default roles do not meet your needs.
Did you know?
Families who are signed up for SMS text messages will receive a message that lets them know they can opt out of receiving messages from a thread by texting LEAVE at any time.
Families receive text messages by default, but there is also a TalkingPoints for Families App that families can download.
The more you engage your families, the more support they can give your students. Families appreciate hearing from you!
