With the start of the new school year, Walpole Public Schools is pleased to announce the addition of TalkingPoints to our set of messaging platforms to improve communication between school and home.

TalkingPoints is a chat-style app that allows for two-way conversations between teachers and families. Families receive the messages via text message or via the optional TalkingPoints app*, and can reply to teachers as well. Messages can be about individual students or about class-wide activities.

In addition to TalkingPoints for two-way chat, school and district news will still be distributed via the Walpole Public Schools smartphone app. Due to family feedback, SMS text alerts will be used primarily only for critical or urgent messages, such as school closings, late bus notifications, and absence and tardy reports.
