My Project

Our school safety team has requested all staff have access to a walkie when supervising students. While all homeroom teachers have been assigned a walkie, there are not enough for support staff and teacher assistants.

Teacher assistants and support staff often need to communicate student health and safety concerns while supervising students outdoors and throughout the building.

These Samcom walkies will cover our entire campus, allowing school staff the ability to communicate the need for assistance, even when supervising outdoor activities. Whether the need for a nurse, SRO, or an administrator, a walkie would provide our support staff the ability to communicate quickly and succinctly.
