Urgent Messaging for District Admins

Learn how to bypass comprehensive translation in order to expedite translation for school messages.

Updated over 5 months ago

District Admins now have the option to bypass comprehensive translation in order to expedite translation for school messages.

TalkingPoints does not advise its usage as a primary emergency messaging translation tool.

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.


District Admins have the ability to check the box to send a message urgently instead of scheduling it.

Step 1: Click 'Send.'

Step 2: Check the 'Treat this as an urgent message' box and click 'Send Now.'


TalkingPoints understands that some messages may need to be sent out without the recommended 24-hour notice; however, scheduling a message any number of hours in advance will support the most comprehensive translation for your families.
