Audience: Students
Platform: TalkingPoints for Families (Mobile App)
Summary: If invited as a student, you can join a school by entering a 12-digit code. You can join a group by entering a 6-digit code.
Join a School with a 12-Digit Code 🏫
Open the app and navigate to Settings
Settings is located in the bottom right-hand corner of the home screen
Tap Join a class.
Enter the 12-digit code given to you by your administrator or teacher.
You’ll see a confirmation that you’ve joined the school.
To add another school, go to Settings > Classes & Groups > Join a group and repeat the steps with another 12-digit code.
📌 What you’ll see:
All your schools and groups listed under Classes & Groups.
When you send a message, you’ll see school names in the recipient list so you can choose the right one.
❗ Each student receives an unique code:
Two students will not receive the same code to join the same school or group.
Students are not able to share codes as each code is created specifically for an individual student.
Join a School Group with a 6-Digit Code 👥
Open the app and go to Settings > Classes & Groups.
Tap Join a group.
Enter the 6-digit code shared with you.
You’ll be added to that group right away.
What It Looks Like 👀
Here’s what you’ll see at each step:
Join a class screen – where you type in your 12-digit code.
Notification Prompt - when you've successfully entered a 12- or 6-digit code, you'll be asked to allow notifications from inside your TalkingPoints application:
Classes & Groups list – showing all the schools and groups you belong to.
Troubleshooting ⚠️
If your code doesn’t work:
Double-check the numbers. A missing or extra digit will block the code.
Make sure you’re entering the right kind of code:
12-digit = school code
6-digit = group code
Confirm the code hasn’t expired. Administrators or teachers may set end dates for codes.
If it still won’t work, reach out to your teacher or school admin to request a new code.
TalkingPoints Support isn't able to provide codes to students.
✅ Tip: You can join multiple schools and/or groups —just repeat the steps with each code you receive.
