Help Us Keep Our Students Safe — Support the Safety Platform Implementation at OLA Catholic School

At OLA Catholic School, we are committed to creating a nurturing environment grounded in the Catholic faith and dedicated to the spiritual and academic growth of each child. Central to this mission is ensuring the safety and security of every student and staff member on our campus.

That’s why this year — during our #iGiveCatholic campaign — we’re seeking your generous support to launch a vital new safety initiative: the implementation of the Centegix Safety Platform.

What the Centegix Safety Platform will do for us:

Each staff member will wear a badge-style alert device that, at the push of a button, can:

1. Immediately notify 911 dispatch with building, floor, and room-level location details. 
2. Instantly trigger campus-wide audio and visual notifications to alert everyone that a lockdown is in effect.
3. Activate pre-configured lockdown protocols—that means staff don’t have to rely on WiFi or cell service for this alert to work. 

• • The system includes digital mapping of every building—what Centegix calls Safety Blueprint™—so that first responders and campus staff have real-time visuals and precise location information. 
  • Although designed for extreme emergencies, the platform’s usage statistics show that about 98% of alerts are for everyday medical or behavioral incidents—meaning it supports staff in common urgent situations, not just headline threats. 

Why this matters now: We believe that nothing is more important than giving our children the safe learning environment they deserve. With this platform:

• • Staff are empowered to respond immediately in critical moments — every second matters. 
  • Our campus-wide coverage ensures that no location—inside a classroom, outside on the field, or in a parking lot—is unprotected.
  • It strengthens our ability to protect not only our students’ academics and faith formation, but also their wellbeing.

Our request to you: We are raising $18,800 to fund Year 1 of a multi-year rollout (5 years) of this critical safety platform—covering installation, full implementation, staff training, and the first year of operation. Your gift will directly and tangibly enhance the safety of every person on our campus.

With your generosity, we will:

• Complete the badge deployment and system installation
• Map our campus buildings digitally and integrate the Safety Blueprint
• Train our entire staff to use the system confidently
• Begin real-time safety monitoring and alert functions
• Set the foundation for ongoing years of support and use

We ask you to help us make safety a shared priority—so we can focus on what truly matters: educating hearts and minds in a secure, faith-filled environment.

Thank you for your kindness, your partnership, and your belief in our mission. Your gift will not only strengthen our school’s infrastructure—it will enhance our peace of mind.
