Our school district has partnered with Talking Points Program, a free communication service designed to connect families to their children's teachers and school. It features automatic two-way translation in over 100 languages, letting parents read and reply to messages in their home language via mobile app, web browser, or standard SMS text messaging. Your student's teacher or advisor can send directed messages to you and you can reply back to them if needed. If you needed a different language it will automatically translate into the correct language both can read. If you want to download the app, you can do so through Google Play or Apple Store or create an account online at talkingpoints.org.

Just note your message will go through the app instead and not sent as a mobile text message.
