Student Protect App

Dear Mt. Lebanon School District Parents,

In our continuing efforts to enhance student and staff safety, the Mt. Lebanon School District, in partnership with the Mt. Lebanon Police Department, has launched the MTLSD Student Protect app, a new mobile alert and suspicious activity reporting app.
The app is free and now available for both Android and iOS phones at the App Store or Google Play. Search for MTLSD Student Protect. You may also visit www.mtlsd.org/app for links to the MTLSD Student Protect app at both app stores.

The MTLSD Student Protect app is another tool to use in our layered approach to school safety. It allows students, parents and community members to send tips to report: Threats to schools or individuals; firearms or weapons concerns; suspicious activities or bullying. Once submitted, the tips  go immediately to Mt. Lebanon School District administrators and the Mt. Lebanon Police Department. Reports will be monitored at all times. Appropriate action will be taken.

The MTLSD Student Protect app will also have a direct connection to 911.

Tips may be sent anonymously or you may leave contact information for follow-up.  When you first open the app, you will be asked to select a school to receive emergency alerts from the District.

The MTLSD Student Protect app is easy to use and accessible anywhere. We ask that when you see something suspicious:
·         Select a school and a category from the dropdown list
·         Enter the description
·         Enter Contact Information or leave blank for an anonymous tip
·         Snap a photo or video if possible
·         Hit Submit

Our number one priority in this District is keeping our students and staff safe.  Please download the MTLSD Student Protect app today to help us with this very important mission.

Sincerely,

Timothy J. Steinhauer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
