Talking Points

Talking Points is a communication method used at Columbia. School and teacher messages will come directly to the phone number that is registered in our system as a SMS text or through the Talking Points Parent App. You can reply by text or through the app. Your child's teacher will initiate a message through Talking Points. Learn more about Talking Points in FCPS.
