Teachers - My Flare Alert | You're the First Responder
MyFlare Alert ● For teachers

You've never worn a badge.
You're the first responder.

When something goes wrong at school, it starts in a room. And the adult in that room, the one who hears it first and decides first, is you. Every safety system equips everyone else. MyFlare equips you.

One press, on the Smart Board, the classroom PC, or a button you wear. No dialing, no talking, no leaving your kids. Two seconds: your 911 center and your SRO see your exact room on a live map. Four seconds: they can see and hear it. Real, and everyone who needs to comes. Not real, and it ends with a quiet knock at your door.

Press it

One press. Four very different days.

A system that makes it safe to be wrong is the system that gets pressed in time.

You are in Room 12. Pick what just happened, and watch two things at once: what your room sees, and what the county does.

FALMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT, MAINE

That is a patrol car, today. The officers coming to your door open the same live view of your room on the screen already in their vehicle. Patrol car, phone, dispatch console: the same live picture rides with every responder, wherever they already are. In a documented live drill, officers engaged and stopped the threat 40 seconds after the Flare was raised.

PUSH THE BUTTON.

What you can do

Remove the confusion and the wasted time
from the moment you need help.

That is the choice: a Flare that creates clarity and a coordinated response, or a panic button that keeps the panic. If the Flare is your answer, say so out loud: at the staff meeting, the safety committee, the public board meeting. Ask what your district pays for its panic button today, then compare: $114 a classroom a year, Smart Board and all, with every law enforcement and 911 seat free. Do the math for your own school, live. You have thirty seconds and three questions.

ASK 01

"When I press it, who knows my room, and in how many seconds?"

ASK 02

"Can they see and hear my room, or am I a whispered description on a phone?"

ASK 03

"What happens to my school the day I press it and I am wrong?"

The board answers to the community, and you are the community.

You don't have to argue it alone. Show it, live.

Tell us before your meeting and we will set you up to demonstrate it live in the room. Chances are your sheriff's office or police department already has it running at dispatch, so the connection takes less than five minutes. And if you would rather hear it from a peer first, just ask: a superintendent, SRO, or sheriff already living with it will call you.

Set me up for my meeting
And your school could be the one

One underserved school per county receives
a free three year deployment.

Your superintendent, your sheriff, or your chief of police can nominate, whoever gets there first. You are the one who starts that conversation.

$114 per room per year is the only recurring fee. No per building fee. Law enforcement and 911 seats are always free.
Straight answers

What you're probably asking.

Is it watching my classroom?

No. Nothing activates until a Flare is raised. No cameras on, no microphones open, no tracking on a normal day, and every post-Flare access is logged to the audit trail your district owns.

What if I press it by accident?

It stops at dispatch. SightDesk gives dispatch a live look in four seconds, the accidental press is confirmed, everything stands down quietly, and the record shows you did nothing wrong. No sirens, no evacuation, no cry wolf. And every press is logged to an audit trail your district owns: what you pressed, when, and what you were told. Whether it was real or a mistake, the record shows you followed protocol. It protects you.

Do I have to put this on my personal phone?

No, and this matters more than most vendors admit. If a safety system depends on teachers' personal phones, the district faces a real choice: pay for those phones, or hope enough staff volunteer, and "not on my phone" is a legitimate answer. MyFlare activates from hardware the school already owns: the Sentinel on the Smart Board, the classroom PC, a wearable button, a smartwatch. Your personal phone can join if you choose. It is never required, and it is never the plan.

What about recess duty, the car line, or a field trip?

The button you wear is Bluetooth. It fires through whatever is running MyFlare nearby: in your room, the Sentinel on the Smart Board or your classroom PC. Beyond their range, it pairs with the app on your smartphone, so with the app along, the button around your neck fires wherever you are, and outdoors your location comes from the live map instead of a room number. The button itself is registered to no room and no person, so the Flare always comes from where the emergency is, never from where a button was installed. Choosing the app also gives you a private crisis plan of your own, so you are safer off campus too, wherever you are. And the bus your students ride home on has its own MyFlare solution, with the same one press.

What does it cost my school?

$114 per room per year is the only recurring software fee, no per building fee, and law enforcement and 911 center seats are always free. If your school is underserved, there's a path where it costs nothing at all. Keep reading. And it costs you nothing to learn: no login, no module, no certification. If you can press a button, you are already trained. And you never have to ask us what it costs: do the math yourself, live, for your own school.

Want to know what it costs?

Do the math yourself, live, for your own school. Nobody should have to call sales to learn a price.
