Centegix CrisisAlert System

Centegix CrisisAlert System

The Jefferson City School District has made several preparations to deal effectively and efficiently with emergency situations that could occur in or around our campuses. At all times, our first priority is to protect all students, staff and visitors from potentially dangerous situations.
 

The Centegix CrisisAlert System allows for all faculty to have instant communication through the use of personal badges that send alerts to the Jefferson Police Department, Jefferson Fire Department and administrative staff, as well as initiate an audible cue and colored beacons that change color based on the crisis type. Beacons are located strategically throughout the schools to allow for other faculty to be aware of a potential threat or need for assistance.
 

In order for our emergency response plans to be most effective, we depend on the cooperation and assistance of many people, including parents and guardians. If you are on campus during an emergency alert, please be mindful of the colored beacons as we strictly follow safety and security protocols.
