Gates Chili Central School District utilizes the TAP App, a hazard and threat management communications mobile application system designed to enhance safety and reduce risk. ​

The TAP App enables authorized district administrators to send real-time alerts, updates, and instructions directly to staff mobile devices, supporting quick and coordinated responses during emergencies. It is compatible across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows, ensuring accessibility for all staff members. ​

All instructional and support staff are expected to have the TAP App downloaded and notifications enabled. For setup instructions or troubleshooting, please refer to the resources below.
