What People Are Saying

“I am a student who decided to scan the bag and see the content that was provided with the QR code. The information was really helpful and the videos were very informational, while being the perfect length so a person can act immediately. I feel a lot safer with these instructions in the classroom ready for anyone to use. I didn’t get a chance to open the emergency chat because this was a drill. But one of my biggest fears as a student in a lockdown was I had no way to contact the authorities that were already in the building. With that being said, the emergency chat took that whole fear away and I am so thankful for that. Overall I think the red bag and QR code is super helpful for everyone in a lockdown setting.”

“Thank you very much for providing the Redbags for us! Our district is way ahead of most in this area, and we appreciate it.”

– Jennie L, Teacher, Cherokee Trail High School

““I just wanted to express my appreciation for all you and district security do to protect students and staff in CCSD. I’m a Columbine survivor, and am so impressed by the new security measures being put in place this year. The Red Bag system we will now have with the QR codes would have saved lives at Columbine. Most of what you and your team do is behind the scenes, but please know it is not taken for granted. So, thank you! “”

– Erin F., Teacher at Falcon Creek Middle School

“I wanted to take a minute to thank you for today’s training. As a former principal in a nearby district, these annual trainings were nothing less than traumatizing and the training managers often used fear and sensationalism as their training aids. I would spend my day after these trainings focused on staff mental health because there are not many people who have not been affected in some way by the many events in Colorado history.

First, this RedBag process is phenomenal and blows my mind. What an incredibly thoughtful and strategic process to help guide people in a potentially horrific situation. As a teacher, I feel so much more secure and supported in helping keep my students safe.

Second, thank you for your delivery. Thank you for understanding educators, students, and calming fears as opposed to inciting them. I cannot even begin to tell you the value of this. Today has once again reinforced why Cherry Creek does things so well. Thank you so much!”

– Lee-ann H., Teacher at Cherry Creek Schools

“I learned about RedBag last year when my son was a Freshman and I was a very nervous mom sending my son to a high school that just the year prior had two shootings. Hearing about what you do made me feel just a little bit better.

And this year, while now both my kids are there, seeing the red bags hanging on the walls of their classrooms while I was at Back to School night made me feel better.”
