Two students got into a physical altercation in my room. I used my Centegix button and I quickly received help and got my class back in order. It allowed me quick help that I needed.

The CrisisAlert System was activated by one of our staff pressing his badge which gave notification throughout the school of the cause for concern. In terms of the notification, we heard it over the intercom, the strobes lit up and it came up on the smart boards and monitors in the classroom and throughout the school. We were all made aware, and the teachers responded appropriately.

3 students in a neighboring class got into an argument that was escalating quickly and almost turned into a fight. I ran to the class and use my badge to alert help. Within seconds the administrators came and help separate the students. It’s quick, easy and super efficient.
