Keyword Alerts
Instant alerts when students search for concerning keywords. Early intervention for student safety and wellbeing.
Why You Need This
Students often reach out for help in indirect ways. A search for "how to hurt yourself" or "I want to disappear" may be the only signal that a student is in crisis. Without visibility into these searches, staff have no way to intervene before a situation escalates.
Keyword Alerts monitors device activity for concerning search terms and content. When a student searches for keywords related to self-harm, violence, bullying, or other safety concerns, designated staff receive immediate notification. This enables counselors and administrators to reach out proactively, often before the student knows they need help.
Our keyword database is curated by child safety experts and includes terms across multiple categories and languages. You can customize alert thresholds, add district-specific keywords, and configure who receives notifications based on alert severity. All alerts include context to help staff respond appropriately.

Common Use Cases
Suicide Prevention
When a student searches for terms related to self-harm or suicide, school counselors are immediately notified. Early intervention has saved student lives by connecting them with support before a crisis escalates.
Bullying Detection
Detect when students are searching for information about being bullied or researching ways to bully others. Alert guidance counselors who can investigate and intervene appropriately.
Violence Prevention
Searches related to weapons, violence, or threats trigger immediate alerts to administrators and school resource officers. Proactive response helps prevent incidents before they occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who receives the alerts?
You configure alert recipients based on your district's structure. Typically, school counselors receive student wellness alerts, while administrators and security staff receive violence-related alerts. Critical alerts can notify multiple staff simultaneously.
How do you prevent false positives?
Our keyword analysis considers context, not just individual words. A search for "knife" during a cooking lesson is treated differently than the same search with threatening context. Staff can mark false positives to improve detection accuracy over time.
Is student privacy protected?
Keyword Alerts only triggers on specific concerning terms. Normal browsing and searches are not monitored or stored. When alerts occur, only designated staff can view the details, and all access is logged for accountability.
What languages are supported?
Our keyword database includes terms in English, Spanish, and other languages common in US schools. You can also add custom keywords in any language for your specific student population.
