Talking Points

Herndon MS is excited to start using TalkingPoints as a platform for communicating with families. Parents/Guardians will receive TalkingPoints messages as SMS text messages. Text messages will be in English or automatically translated into the family's correspondence language. You can respond in English, or respond in another language and it will be translated into English for the school. Parents/Guardians do not need to do anything to enroll. 

TalkingPoints is free! There’s no charge if you have an unlimited texting plan. If not, standard text messaging fees apply. If you don’t want to receive SMS text messages, you can download the free TalkingPoints for Parents Mobile App in the app store on iPhone or Android! You can unsubscribe at any time by texting GOODBYE.
