Visitor & Student Uncertainties
Using the pen-and-paper method to track sign ins and outs in the office—both for students as well as visitors created uncertainty and challenges around who was or wasn’t on campus, and it was difficult to track student attendance records and thereby recognize a pattern.
Tracking & Managing Drills
Having a system that communicated well with their student information system (SIS) was important—it improved their ability to account for students during emergencies. Having a safety system with a strong track record in customer service was equally important; it would mean they’d have a true partner in their district’s safety.
Communicating Severe Weather Delays
Communicating information about severe weather delays required sending a text to 20 members of the school staff, who would then relay that message to their assigned departments. If someone in the original message group overlooked the text, their whole department would not be informed of the situation.
