Consolidating communication streams into one simple, well translated source will simplify the path for parents so they will know where to turn for information. We believe this is an important step toward equity and inclusion for our schools and our community that will also have a profound effect on student outcomes and school culture.

At 8 years old as a Korean immigrant at a new school in a new country, I didn’t speak a word of English. But, my mother was able to use the little English she knew to talk to my teachers about how she could help me at home. I founded TalkingPoints based on this belief that the difference between my mother and my peers’ parents wasn’t love, but access to the skills and tools to support my learning.
— Heejae Lim, Founder and CEO of TalkingPoints

Building meaningful relationships with school and homes around student engagement and connectivity is the foundation of education. Our goal is to create this needed bridge so parents not only have the necessary information about how their child is showing up but are also engaged in the process of co-creating solutions with the school district.
— Dr. Jonah Schenker, District Superintendent, Ulster BOCES
