TalkingPoints is a communication tool that provides automatic translations of over 100 languages via texting from teachers, principals, etc. to parents & guardians in the district. For teachers, simply download the app and begin communicating directly with your students' families directly over text! 

All teachers are automatically included and each school is covered under the district contract. If you are a CPS parent or guardian, you will not have to do anything! All messages will come directly to your phone as an SMS. You can even text your teacher right back! If you prefer, you can download the app on your mobile device using the instructions below!

Getting started is easy! Your account is already available in Clever using your CPS / School email. You can click the link below for training on TalkingPoints through Schoology or watch a tutorial video for a more in-depth walkthrough.
