The best emergency plans can break down when messages are missed, delayed, or misunderstood. PA announcements and two-way radios are easy to miss, and in many school districts, cell phone bans have taken phones out of students’ hands, rendering text message alerts impractical. Traditional tools also create gaps in communication: complex, audio-only alerts do not serve students and staff who are deaf or hard of hearing, get missed in loud environments, and can confuse students in high-stress moments when clarity is most important. School leaders also face pressures aside from emergency events, like keeping bell schedules and class changes on time across large campuses and clearly communicating last‑minute schedule adjustments, drills, or testing in progress times, all while thoroughly documenting every incident and drill for after‑action reports, audits, and insurance requirements.

A Comprehensive Visual Layer

Primex Notify InfoBoard Displays add a bright, visual communication layer to your emergency response and daily communication systems. InfoBoard Displays automatically show synchronized time and date in school hallways and classrooms until an alert or message is triggered. At the press of a button or click in the OneVue® software, you can instantly push critical notifications such as LOCKDOWN, EVACUATE, WEATHER, or ALL CLEAR to every connected display. Because InfoBoard Displays receive critical alerts over a dedicated 72 MHz radio signal, notifications still reach displays even if your other networks are compromised.

InfoBoard Displays also enhance day-to-day school operations. Each InfoBoard Display is capable of delivering vivid, color-coded messages in seven colors with adjustable brightness and scroll speed, ensuring consistent, clear communication in both bright hallways and dim auditoriums. Custom messages with schedule changes, announcements, or directions can be used to provide more information at a glance. When no message is displayed, InfoBoard Displays show accurate, synchronized time and date, helping to reduce tardiness and keep classes, passing periods, and dismissals on schedule.
