First Day of School in SPS is Tomorrow!

Good luck to ALL the students, parents/guardians,

 teachers, principals, and school staff!

I see the district is using a texting system for parents to contact teachers and office staff.

TalkingPoints is a two-way multilingual family engagement and communication tool helping SPS teachers, staff and families to stay connected via text message.

Through the platform, SPS families can quickly and easily message teachers and school staff from their phone. The central district office also sends important reminders and updates.   

TalkingPoints is a simple and handy tool that makes communication accessible to every family. Messages sent through the platform can be automatically translated into 110-plus home languages, which removes language, access, and technology barriers.   

The link has many helpful ideas to make this work for your family.


I'm pretty excited myself for tomorrow as I start my 4th year here in Tucson with my kindergarten teacher as a volunteer tutor two mornings a week. These little ones are so fun and funny and it's always my honor to be a part of their academic lives.

YES! Big day tomorrow. Yet SPS does it again with some sorry a** last minute press conference. No ASL interpretation, and in good ol’ SPS fashion, a performative “we are here!” Of course no invitations went out to anyone but hey, at least you can watch it on YouTube. The bar is so low.

Fed Up
