Event types in Ruvna are completely configurable to your school/district. You can set up separate event types for every different protocol – such as bomb threats, evacuations, severe weather, lockdowns, shelter-in-place, and more. You can also customize the notification content for each separate event type.

Staff receive notifications in three ways – text message (SMS), email, and push notification. These notifications can be delivered to staff when an emergency/drill starts, ends, or when a new message is received.

Without Ruvna, that student’s teacher (along with the school) likely wouldn’t know where the student is, or even that the student is missing. With Ruvna, if the student is with a different staff member, their teacher will receive a notification letting them know the student is safe. If the student is not with another staff member, they will be one of the “remaining students”, and displayed immediately to administrators and law enforcement to be found.

Any device that connects to the internet can be used with Ruvna. Any computer, tablet, or cell phone will work. If a teacher doesn’t have their device, any other accessible (like a student’s phone) is sufficient. In the unlikely event that no one in a class has a device, any other Ruvna user can change their view on their device to become another teacher’s roster, and use that for checking students in.

Yes! We know when staff members are active in Ruvna, and if they become active during an emergency we check them in as well. Users that do not become active are also displayed to administrators/law enforcement and can be manually checked in.

Students don’t sign into Ruvna at all! Ruvna is built to minimize (if not fully remove) all student interaction. In almost all cases, staff are responsible for checking-in students. In other scenarios, such as open campuses or students with free periods, Ruvna can send text messages to students which allow them to check themself in, or identify that they need help. Self Check-In links don’t require students to sign in at all.

You have complete control to grant the right to check in students. Within Ruvna, you decide exactly which users have the ability to check in students, see remaining students, and initiate/end emergencies.

With Ruvna, ANY teacher can view ANY OTHER teacher’s rosters. If a teacher doesn’t have their phone, or doesn’t have a smartphone, or forgets their phone, any other user in the school can pull up the necessary rosters for the teacher to use. (Also really helpful when subbing/covering for another staff member)
