Closing the information gap between home and hallways.

We automate Handle With Care, so support staff know which students have been impacted by an ACE before the first bell rings.

Know the context. Strengthen the support.

Attendance data, behavior referrals, and grades tell you what. They don't tell you why. knowtifyED brings the missing context straight from first responders, with no incident details and no surveys or screeners taking time out of classs.

Inform

Each morning, student support teams know which students to connect with for early intervention and support. .

Connect

Every notification is a chance to connect & build trust. The goal is to help the student regulate and be ready for the day to learn.

Prevent

Research shows that having a trusted adult at school is a powerful protective factor. Connecting early can prevent escalation and crisis later.

You see students for 8 hours a day.

What happens in the other 16 comes back through the door with them.

For Schools

Each morning the designated, trained team for each building will receive an email, subject line: Handle With Care, and a list of student ID numbers.
No incident details are shared. However, we set the incident criteria to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), so your team will know it was a significant event. Periodically, we will provide an aggregate report with the proportion of incident types that generated the notifications.
No! knowtifyED data should help FREE UP staff time by helping staff to connect with, engage, and re-regulate students who may be in “trauma brain.” This early intervention can help prevent escalation later in the day, which means less crisis management and risk assessment, and more time engaging proactively.
Think of knowtifyED as an added booster to your current Handle With Care process. By establishing secure data connections with the first responder agencies, knowtifyED increases the consistency and frequency of notifications. We absolutely encourage officers to continue to use their discretion to initiate notifications, knowtifyED operates in the background.

For Law Enforcement

No! Officers complete their reports throughout their shift as normal. knowtifyED works in the background to pick up qualifying events and notify the school if a student was impacted. No checkbox. No comment in the narrative. No app. Officers can focus on managing the incident, and knowtifyED handles the rest.
No! We work with incident-level data in conjunction with school district data to determine if a student was impacted by an incident. We don’t use juvenile data at all.
No! We do not have direct access to your servers or databases. We work with your IT to ensure data is coming out, not in. The data is limited to the few key pieces of incident data identified in the MOU, and no more.
Yes! All current communication protocols can and should continue. knowtifyED is not an “either/or,” but an additional layer of information to ensure children get the support their need at school.

ACEs & Student Outcomes

Trauma-invested schools help carry the weight.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are the events in a student's life outside of school that can affect how they show up inside it. The research says up to 60% of students have experienced at least one.

Unaddressed, ACEs surface in the indicators your MTSS team tracks: chronic absenteeism, behavior referrals, declining grades. Or they don't surface at all, and a student who needs support never reaches a tier.

A trauma-invested school responds to the ACE, not just the indicator. knowtifyED tells support staff which students to reach the next morning, so a proactive, neutral check-in happens before the impact reaches your data.
