Technology Help
The Walton County School District utilizes Chromebooks and a number of software products to enhance the educational process. A student's teacher and the school media specialist can help with most issues related to Chromebooks and specific software used in the classroom.
There are three main programs utilized by the district to help students access these programs, teacher assignments, and grades. In addition, Talking Points is used for parent/teacher communication. Click on a tab below for more information on each of these programs.

Clever
Clever
Clever is a student portal is used to help students log into all district-supported programs as well as many programs teachers ask their students to use. Once a student is logged into Clever he or she does not need to log into individual programs - all of that is taken care of through Clever. This cuts down on the number of usernames and passwords students use, making access to programs much easier.

How do I sign up for Talking Points?
I am not getting text messages from my child's teacher.
If you are not getting text messages from your child's teacher, it may be that you had the app installed at one point and now it is not installed because you have a new phone or deleted it for some reason. If that's the case, Talking Points will think the app is still installed and will try to send messages to the app.
To fix this, log out of the app then uninstall it. Once that is done, you should begin to receive text messages.
If the app is not installed, install the app (Click Here for Apple | Click HERE for Android) and log in, then log out and uninstall the app. This will let Talking Points know that you have opted out of the app and will switch your account to receive text messages.
If this does not work and you continue to have issues, Click Here to submit a help request so we can look into it further.
