Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Feedback
Such a great app! We just did a drill at my school. The app worked great, but I had one thing that I thought might make the app even better. Could you make the notifications show up on a smart watch? So many teachers stuff their phones in their purse and only use their watch during the day. Just thought of it after the last drill.

Great app
Would love to see a feature that allows it to work from a smart watch! I know myself and many of my coworkers wear our watches instead of carrying our phones, it would be awesome for this to work with the watch as well.

Great app but needs an update
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!

Hi Farm Girl09! Love your name! Thank you for your review and compliment. The app does work across multiple locations. All the user needs to do is open the app when going to a location other than their home location. The app works this way since we don't track our users' locations through the app (a feature that MANY users have requested that we not implement). For the app to automatically know when a user switches locations, we would have to track their phone movement all the time. We feel this is a security and privacy concern. Once you open the app, it reports into our platform and notes that you are now "attached" to a different location. I hope this helps and you will consider changing your rating to a higher value. Thank you!
