OXFORD, MS — August 27, 2007 — AnComm, the nation’s first and only anonymous online messaging and emergency notification service provider for schools, today announced the launch of www.AnComm.Com, the company’s flagship Web site. AnComm’s new Web site is designed as an online resource for school administrators, teachers, parents and students to learn more about school violence and the role of communication in improving school safety.
AnComm’s new Web Site provides an abundance of free school safety information, including school violence facts and statistics, on-demand school safety webinars, links to third-party Web sites and access to a soon-to-be released White Paper: ‘A Strategy for Safer Schools.’
Visitors to the new AnComm.com will also learn:
- The top ten problems and issues facing U.S. school students,
- How schools can improve school safety quickly -- without massive capital investments in capital infrastructure, such as the installation of metal detectors, security cameras and the hiring of additional security personnel,
- How the ‘Code of Silence’ -- a pervasive sense among adolescents that telling grownups another student is in pain or may pose a threat to others violates an unwritten, but powerful principle -- is inhibiting critical communication between school administrators, faculty and students,
- How schools across the U.S. are employing anonymous communication to dramatically reduce the likelihood of violence caused by common problems facing U.S. students, including bullying, stress, depression, gangs, threats of violence, fighting, peer pressure, drugs, self-mutilation, pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, pregnancy, sexual harassment, date rape and suicide, and
- How school administrators and counselors can more effectively reach the technology proficient children of today’s ‘i-Generation.’
“The most important, and yet most commonly overlooked component of a comprehensive school safety plan is communication,” said Carter Myers, President of AnComm. “Our new web site explores how communication between faculty and students can be improved and the critical role it plays in fostering a safer, more comfortable learning environment.”
Currently in use by more than 100 school systems across the country, AnComm’s ‘Talk About It®’ anonymous online reporting and emergency notification service gives students a web-based portal to reach out and communicate their troubles -- breaking the ‘code of silence’ through anonymous communication.
