Since its introduction in December 2023,
Web Activity Monitoring (WAM) has uncovered 7,528 suicide-related emergency incidents that would not have been detected otherwise, spanning nearly 500 districts.
Students often type what they won’t say aloud. Search queries like “how to say goodbye” or draft emails about self-harm may never be shared, but WAM ensures they’re not missed.
At Gaggle, our mission is to protect student lives and lifetimes by helping them use digital tools safely and responsibly. Our work isn’t simply about monitoring students. It’s about making sure they are supported. Every potential concern is reviewed by trained safety professionals before it is sent to the district. This process helps ensure that when students are in need, caring adults have the opportunity to intervene.

Since 1998, Gaggle has been a leader in monitoring student content on school-issued devices and accounts, ensuring student digital safety. Over the years, we have expanded our focus to support student mental health through proactive, comprehensive safety solutions.

Data is collected annually by Gaggle’s in-house data analytics team, ensuring that all insights are based on accurate and up-to-date information. Incident rates are reported per 10,000 students to provide a consistent metric that accounts for changes in the overall student population, making it easier to compare trends year-over-year as Gaggle’s coverage continues to expand across more districts. This method allows educational leaders to understand the scope of incidents in a way that is meaningful and adjusted for school size, offering a clearer picture of student safety and well-being.
