For the safety and security of our students, visitors must check in at the main office upon arrival and present a valid state-issued ID for the office to scan through the Raptor Visitor Management System. Once approved, the visitor will be issued a visitor’s sticker that must be worn visibly at all times while on school grounds. Visitors need to check out prior to leaving, the badge will be collected and destroyed. Children who do not have a valid ID may be allowed as long as they are accompanied by an adult who has completed the ID process and been issued a badge.

If you are meeting with staff, please make an appointment. School days are tightly scheduled for responding to student needs and staff collaboration. To make the best use of your time and ensure that the staff person you need to see will be available, please take a few minutes to call or email to schedule a time to meet. By doing so, you can be sure that staff member will be available to speak with you and they will have the necessary information to respond to your questions.
