Features & Capabilities

SchoolGuard is a mobile panic button app for K-12 school staff. In the event of an active school shooting emergency, a teacher or school staff member presses the main SchoolGuard panic button. As the app is dialing 911, an alert is immediately sent to the smartphones of all federal, state and local, ON and OFF duty, law enforcement officers who are in close proximity to the school and who belong to the Hero911 Network.

Additionally, an intra-school alert is simultaneously sent to the smartphones of all school staff and a mapped location of the initial alert is displayed (mapping depends on cell coverage). SchoolGuard also alerts all other protected schools within a 5 mile radius of the initial alert.

SchoolGuard is also listed in the AT&T FirsNet App Catalog as an emergency app for first responders.

Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

At least once or twice I year I need to uninstall, reinstall, and get the code from my school all over again. It will just not send updates to some phones sometimes. It’s not predictable, and it’s been an ongoing problem all 4 years my school has used the app. Makes me feel very unsafe that it can’t be relied on in an emergency, which is the entire point.

I’m impressed that this is the only app on the market that lets you notify first responders through the app!

This is a great app; but doesn’t help the many staff members that work in multiple school buildings. Could you please update the app to include accounts; so staff can have accounts for different buildings? Our corporation is using this; but some of us are left out in the dark if we are in the “wrong” building!
