Admins can create "staff only" groups in order to communicate with other staff members through TalkingPoints. Determine how to create a staff-only group from your TalkingPoints for Schools account.
Screenshots below may look slightly different as TalkingPoints is constantly evolving! Don't worry, we periodically make sure our guides are up-to-date so that you have the latest how-to's.
