Tell Bridg-it. Bridg-it School is a revolutionary platform that allows, parents, students, and teachers to report any negative behavior to school leaders. What’s more, our Resource Center allows you to have thousands of pieces of content to help in any situation. They are there to help ensure your students are safe and happy.
