BARK FOR SCHOOLS
A unified platform for greater safety, learning, and digital citizenship
Most districts rely on multiple vendors for their programs. Bark brings it all together with AI-powered monitoring, web filtering, anonymous reporting, digital citizenship lessons, and family resources all in one place.
A student safety ecosystem built for
today’s online landscape.
Most districts have tools in place, but monitoring alone can’t teach skills or sustain year-round
engagement. Bark unifies everything into a consistent framework for students, staff, and families.

What districts gain when technology and education align
What districts gain
when technology and education align
Proactive prevention
Reduce disruptions and improve school climate by addressing issues proactively, supporting attendance, learning, and student well-being by minimizing online-origin conflicts before they escalate.
Teacher capacity support
Consistent delivery and guidance without adding work to already-stretched staff.
Student skill development
Digital etiquette, emotional resilience, conflict navigation, media balance, and AI literacy – skills students need for school and beyond.
Parent collaboration
Family resources and training that reinforce habits after hours and on weekends.
The key way Bark differs from stand-alone tools
Many tools focus on a single lever. Bark is built to prepare and monitor in one safety strategy. Education strengthens prevention, and alerts enable faster, better-informed support.
Monitoring-only approaches
can surface incidents, but can’t teach proactive digital skills.
One-time parent nights
create a moment, not a year-round framework families can use.
Curriculum-only approaches
build awareness, but don’t provide ongoing visibility into real student risk signals.
Bark’s approach
integrates technology, education, and parent partnership, all aligned for safety, academic outcomes, and mental wellness.

What schools are saying
“We put Bark in place to make sure our students were safe… I was able to help save someone’s life because of it.”
— IT Director, Plum Borough School District
“We already had safety measures in place, but Bark filled a gap we didn’t even realize was there. It helps surface early warning signs that other tools can miss and gives our team the context we need to respond quickly and thoughtfully. Bark has become an essential element of our student safety puzzle, as it helps to identify risk and support students in all aspects of prevention, intervention, and postvention.”
—Jon Widmier, Mental Health Coordinator, Littleton Public Schools
“Connected Communities will allow us to expand awareness of positive, safer online habits from our classrooms into the broader community.”
—Jacque Fewin, Executive Director of Technology, Lubbock-Cooper ISD
