Emergency Communications
FrontRow offers a single platform that simultaneously improves learning outcomes while providing solutions for a safer, more informed campus.
Seamless School-wide Emergency Communication
FrontRow’s Conductor platform is central to any school’s Emergency Operations Plan for seamless school-wide communication during a weather emergency, lock down, lockout or general evacuation.
Simple two-way communication between the front office and any classroom is at the heart of the Conductor system – all at the push of a single button:
- Trigger lock-downs with a single command from anywhere on campus while issuing automated announcements both on campus and to emergency responder off-campus.
- Control doors, security, digital signage, AV devices, HVAC and lighting from the admin office.
- Easily display pre-recorded messages or emergency route maps while making automated evacuation announcements.
Easily update changing school schedules in uncertain times
In this new era of hybrid and remote learning, schools need to have an agile and easy to use system for accommodating quick and unforeseen changes to school schedules and calendars.
- Easily change bell schedules to meet changing school calendars.
- Quickly create or reassign distinct paging zones across campus as staffing and room requirements change.
- Effortlessly create daily pre-recorded messages from the principal to play at a scheduled time.
Campus Paging/Intercom + Classroom Audio = Conductor
Conductor ties together school-wide paging/intercom with individual classroom audio into one simple, cost effective system, rather than a school investing into two distinct, separate systems. FrontRow’s suite of classroom audio systems play an integral role in Conductor:
- They act as the classroom paging speaker for school-wide broadcasts.
- The teacher mics can be easily programmed to talk with or send a silent alarm to the front office.
- The FrontRow audio system will automatically mute any classroom video so no announcement is missed.
Combine audio & visual announcements
Trigger lock-downs with a single command from anywhere on campus while issuing automated announcements both on campus and to emergency responder off-campus.
- They act as the classroom paging speaker for school-wide broadcasts.
- Control doors, security, digital signage, AV devices, HVAC, cameras, and lighting from the admin office.
- Easily display pre-recorded messages or emergency route maps while making automated evacuation announcements and triggering mass notifications to parents and first responders.
Most Classrooms Are Not Ideal Learning Environments
Now place this child — with his or her underdeveloped listening capacity, vocabulary, and world experience — in a typical K-12 classroom.
Many adults assume that’s the ideal place for learning. In auditory terms, nothing could be farther from the truth. Research over the last decade has shown that kids farthest from the teacher can miss up to 40% of what’s being said. When it’s that hard to keep up, it’s no wonder they stop paying attention, cause disruption, and perform more poorly.
