For Parents

Distributing and receiving accurate information is vital, whether during a last-minute weather closure or an immediate on-campus security threat. By instituting a mass notification system for your campus, parents - and all campus stakeholders - will receive up-to-the-second alerts via text message, push notification, and email when necessary. Administrators can customize messaging for unique user groups, so teachers, students, and parents receive all of the necessary information they need to safely navigate issues of varying severity. 

For Teachers

Surveillance cameras help schools keep an eye on what’s happening and allow teachers and administrators to review previously recorded footage in mere seconds! Add cameras to classrooms for an eagle eye view of classroom conduct, or incorporate surveillance in areas where loitering or vandalism have been known to occur. Hallways, supply closets, cafeterias, and staff lounges are all areas that need additional security cameras. Facilities staff and security guards receive instant alerts when motion is detected in specified locations, and campus administrators can pull footage from a classroom after receiving a parent’s complaint. Campuses are safer with cameras.

For Students

Every school safety solution offered by the ASAP Security Services team and mentioned in this blog is for the safety of your students, but access control is one measure that goes above and beyond protecting them from harm. Controlling who enters your campus grounds and when that access occurs is essential for campus safety. 

Not only can hallways and doors automatically lock in the instance of an active shooter event, but parking lot entrances are also securable with keycard access and timed closures. Add in surveillance cameras and mass notification alerts with access control, and your Texas campus protects students better than ever before.
