We feel it is a good idea to occasionally remind everyone about the Clever R-V School District’s safety protocols. As we have shared before, the state of Missouri has partnered with Raptor Technologies which provides an app designed to protect students and school employees during an emergency event. Clever Schools utilizes this app and has trained all employees on how it works.
The Raptor app allows school employees to initiate a hold or a lockdown should a situation warranting such action arise. Raptor alerts may be activated for various reasons, ranging from a staff or student needing medical assistance (resulting in a hold) to more serious safety threats requiring a lockdown. Each situation is managed with the appropriate response.
Parents are not notified for minor hold situations. However, in the event of a safety issue that necessitates a lockdown, families will be informed and provided with as much detail as possible.
Faculty and staff are alerted to a Raptor notification through an alarm on their mobile devices. Students may also hear this tone, which many have come to associate with an alert. Teachers will inform their students if the alert signifies a hold (normal classroom activities continue) or if a more serious situation is unfolding.
The most important thing to emphasize to your child is that their teacher will provide the necessary instructions for any situation. If your child mentions that a Raptor alert occurred at school, please be assured that if you were not notified, it was a minor issue that posed no safety threat to students or staff.
