KIDaccount Campus brings school safety alerts, drills, communication, and accountability together in one staff app. It works with the KIDaccount safety system used by participating schools and districts. When normal school operations are disrupted, Campus gives staff clear event information and familiar tools to help them respond, communicate, and account for themselves and their students. Key Features: • Safety Alerts and Drills: Start district-configured Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter, and Assistance events. • Confirmation Countdown: A brief cancellation period helps prevent accidental alert activation. • Staff Safety Status: During an active event, quickly report “I’m Safe” or “I Need Help.” • Safety Messaging: Communicate with school staff through event-specific message threads. • Classroom Roll Call: Account for assigned students and report classroom status during an active event. • Real-Time Updates: Receive push notifications, event instructions, and safety status changes. • Secure Sign-In: Access Campus using a Google or Microsoft account approved by your school or district. Available actions, procedures, and access are configured by each participating school or district. A KIDaccount-enabled school or district account is required. KIDaccount Campus supports your school’s established safety plan. It does not replace emergency services, building alarms, or district emergency procedures. Always follow your school’s instructions and contact emergency services when appropriate.
