What is Teacher Messaging?
Teacher Messaging is a free messaging service offered via the InspireNOLA mobile app that allows for secure, safe communication between school and home. Your child's teachers will be able to send you direct messages and group text to the entire class, as well as share files, photos, videos, and more - all in the same app.
Please note: All chats will be logged for everyone's safety and security.
