***VISITORS ON CAMPUS

All visitors, district employees, substitutes and parents must sign in at the office when they are on a school campus. This allows us to track who is on-site in case of a disaster, and is an important step in creating a safe and secure campus. If visitors don’t have a district ID, they should be issued a visitor’s badge.
Please make sure all staff are aware of the district policy and understand your school’s procedure for visitor check-in. Ideally, staff should wear their badges as well and be trained to direct visitors who aren’t wearing a badge to the office for check-in
