What is Yik Yak?

Yik Yak has been causing havoc across the state with students using this app inappropriately. It is an anonymous app where students can bully other students/teachers, post/peek bomb threats, school shootings, etc. 

Consider watching this video which explains the app, how it’s used and how schools can block it via "Geofencing" Geofencing disables the app within a certain radius. 


How to Request a Geofence at your school
Email to information to theyak@yikyakapp.com:
1.    School name & School’s address
2.    Latitude & longitude of school’s location (make sure that the location is dead center of the school’s campus or the geofence will be ineffective – Yik Yak recommends using this site)
