About Us
How We Started
K12 Alerts® was established in 2001 after the aftermath of 9/11 to find a better way for large groups of people
to communicate during a crisis. Gregory Bender, President & CEO was born and raised in NYC. He got the inspiration for
reaching out to schools after living through the virtual communications blackout caused by the September 11, 2001
attacks on the World Trade Center. He created K12 Alerts®, a comprehensive communication platform, to enable
school administrators to reach parents, staff and students in emergencies via 3 modes of communication
(Email, Text-to-Cell and Voice Alerts). K12 Alerts is expanding rapidly throughout the United States. In addition,
K12 Alerts® technology is Patent Pending.
About the Service
Keeping students safe and families informed in an increasingly uncertain world is a top priority for everyone at
K12 Alerts® and all of its clients. The K12 Alerts platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution created
to enable school administrators to effortlessly record, send, and track targeted messages to groups in minutes.
K12 Alerts program can lower school costs by decreasing paper communications and strengthening the home-to-school
connection with email, voice and Text-to-Cell parent communications. K12 Alerts has a proprietary Parent My Account®
portal that is customized for each school where parents and staff members can maintain/update their emergency phone
numbers, email and Text-to-Cell messaging numbers for emergency and routine messaging. K12 Alerts, a privately held
company, recently launched its higher education sibling Campus Alerts® at www.campusalerts.com. K12 Alerts is
based in White Plains, New York.
