Volunteer and Visitor Information
If you would like to volunteer in or visit your child's classroom, please note a few important details. All volunteers and visitors are required to use the Raptor Visitor Management System in all school buildings. Our purpose for re-integrating the system, which has not been used for several years due to COVID's visitor policies, is to build on the district's program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our building at all times, and the Raptor System will allow us greater ability to do so. As in the past, visitors will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID, which will be scanned into the system. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date and the purpose of the visit. Additional data from the driver's license is not gathered nor is the system connected to any other system such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore, any other information on the ID is not scanned by the system and is not accessible to any of the users. A visitor's badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork. The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system provides a consistent way to aid in keeping away people who may present a danger to our students. Volunteers will also be required to read our volunteer commitment when checking in. A copy of the document is attached. Thank you, in advance, for your understanding and support of enhancing safety protocols in our district! Please reach out with any questions or concerns!
