Admins may not always be in their office when they must send a message to their school community. To allow admins--both school and district level--to do their jobs on the go, TalkingPoints has released a TalkingPoints for Admins Mobile App Beta.

With the Beta release of the TalkingPoints for Admins mobile app, administrators will have access to the admin inbox and can send announcements and messages from anywhere. TalkingPoints will continue adding to and improving the mobile app to maximize effective engagement for our on-the-go administrators.

Your home page will display your school name, admin messages, and recent announcements.
