Key Points:
- School safety technology advances as Singlewire and MOSS partner to help schools adopt faster silent alert systems aligned with Alyssa’s Law.
- Wearable alert badges enable instant, discreet communication to speed up emergency response.
- The partnership provides schools with guidance, training, and modern tools to strengthen overall safety readiness.
Singlewire Software has formed a new partnership with Make Our Schools Safe (MOSS) to expand school safety technology and support schools working to meet safety requirements related to silent alert systems. The two organizations aim to give districts clearer pathways to adopt faster on-campus communication tools and strengthen emergency readiness.
Alyssa’s Law, which encourages the use of silent panic alert systems that notify first responders during critical incidents, has guided many districts toward adopting modern, campus-wide communication tools. The law has been adopted in ten states and is under consideration in several others. It was named in memory of Alyssa Alhadeff, a student who lost her life in a 2018 school shooting in Florida.
School safety remains a leading concern for educators and families. According to data from Everytown for Gun Safety, 141 shooting incidents occurred in the US during 2025 so far, underscoring the need for stronger response systems and reliable school safety technology within school environments.
Wearable Alerts Designed for Faster Response
Singlewire Software provides wearable alert badges that allow teachers and staff to send silent alerts from anywhere on campus. When pressed, the badges transmit the staff member’s name and location on a digital school map, helping administrators coordinate an immediate response.
For teachers, this removes the need to reach classroom phones or other devices during emergencies. Instead, support can be requested directly and discreetly, allowing staff to focus on student safety.
Lori Alhadeff, Co-founder and CEO of Make Our Schools Safe, emphasized the importance of rapid response tools in education settings. “The faster that schools can get help on the scene, the more lives they can potentially save,” Alhadeff said. “Panic buttons, like the InformaCast Wearable Alert Badge, are essential for connecting teachers directly with law enforcement, accelerating the time it takes to get help to a school.”
Supporting School Districts With Integrated Safety Solutions
Singlewire’s InformaCast platform combines software and hardware to deliver mass notifications, silent alerts, and real-time communication across school buildings. By partnering with MOSS, the company hopes to make it easier for districts to evaluate school safety technology and implement structured emergency plans that meet their local requirements.
“MOSS has been a powerful voice in advancing meaningful school safety practices, and we’re proud to support that mission,” said Terry Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. He added that the partnership brings together advocacy and technology to help schools respond more effectively during urgent situations.
A Focus on School Communities
District leaders and teachers continue looking for tools that support safety without disrupting daily learning. Wearable alerts and automated communication tools are becoming part of a broader effort to give schools consistent response procedures and faster internal coordination.
For students, these systems aim to create an environment where safety protocols work quietly in the background, supporting learning without adding unnecessary stress. For teachers, the technology provides an added layer of support during both major emergencies and smaller on-campus incidents that require quick attention.
As the partnership between Singlewire Software and Make Our Schools Safe moves forward, both organizations plan to work directly with schools to share best practices, offer training resources, and help educators understand how modern school safety technology fits into their broader safety plans.
