It seems like it’s harder today than it has ever been to provide kids with a safe, secure environment where they can learn and grow. At eSchoolView, we strive to empower teachers, parents, and school administrators to create healthy, safe learning environments both in the classroom and online.

Today’s schools and classrooms increasingly incorporate new technology and the internet. When these tools are used in an intelligent, educated matter, they can be leveraged in order to create safer spaces for kids, and give everyone the power to address issues before they become real threats.

One example of how eSchoolView provides schools with tools to promote safety is Instant Connect, a panic button system that works on mobile devices. By texting a number that’s been pre-entered into their phones, teachers and school staff can use Instant Connect to immediately notify the appropriate people in the event of an emergency.

Another way that eSchoolView helps create safe environments is by educating school officials in the latest tech trends and security concerns. Empowering teachers and district officials to learn about potential issues online and how to combat them, eSchoolView facilitates keeping student information safe.

In addition to helping schools stay on top of online security trends, eSchoolView also helps schools design their websites to be as secure as possible, from the initial planning stages all the way to launch. Our innovative communication tools also allow schools to reliably share information with their districts through their sites.

Of course, making schools a safe place for kids takes more than just technology. It means creating an open, secure environment where kids feel comfortable enough to learn, engage, and share their concerns with the people around them, both students and adults.

Some other ways to improve students’ feelings of safety in the classroom include:

• Letting kids know that it’s okay to participate and ask questions. When kids feel discouraged from participating, they don’t speak up, making it harder to identify problems.

• Implementing systems that reduce hallway traffic and crowding of public spaces, which will reduce stress and instances of conflict.

• Putting a system in place where kids can report their concerns without fear of judgement or reprisal.

It’s important to keep in mind that making students feel safe takes more than security protocols and active monitoring. Just as important is making sure schools are a place where maintaining routine and order doesn’t prevent kids from being able to speak their minds and interact positively with peers and school personnel.

eSchoolView helps schools create secure, fully functional websites that meet all the needs of a modern educational institution, allowing easier communication between teachers, parents, students, and district administrators. Learn more at www.eschoolview.com.
