Attendance Matters! #BetterTogether


Student families, we're happy to report our messaging system, TalkingPoints, is back online!
If you have previously downloaded the TalkingPoints for Families app, please sign back in by clicking "next" and entering your phone number when prompted.
You will still see class announcements, but your direct message folder is empty. You can locate conversations you were having with staff by opening a new message, searching for that person's name and selecting them. Once you follow those steps, you will see your old conversation appear, again.
Text users should be able to reach staff by entering numbers you may have saved or replying to an old message.
We appreciate all of our student families for being a part of the solution and for your patience. Special thanks to the Paducah Public Schools Information Technology team, as well!
Go Big Blue!


Our student family messaging system, TalkingPoints, is down.
