SchoolSafe: Emergency Response For Schools

Hi, I'm Gabriel, the founder of SchoolSafe.

SchoolSafe started as a project within the Boston University Academy Computer Science Club, of which I am one of the club leaders. A school administrator reached out to us wanting to see if we could come up with a more effective digital solution to respond to emergencies and take attendance. The school's existing system could send automated text messages and emails, but it wasn't able to take attendance live or allow faculty to monitor the emergency and contact students in danger.

After a couple months of working with the school and writing the code behind an initial version of the app, a working prototype was finished, with a live roll call, automated alerts, and preset emergency scenarios. Eventually, deploying the project at Boston University Academy didn't work out because of logistical issues, and the code and the rest of the project was left with me.

Right now, we're looking to learn more from schools about what they think could be most beneficial in an emergency response app like SchoolSafe.

And as the product takes shape, we're looking for schools that want to try out the app and help us make the improvements needed to help keep schools and students more safe.

We'd love to hear from you — contact us at gabriel@gabrielromualdo.com or feel free to schedule a call with us to discuss.
