Raptor Visitor Management System Coming to Our Schools

As part of our continued commitment to student safety, our district will soon be implementing the Raptor Visitor Management System at all school sites.
This system helps us better monitor who is on campus and ensures a safe environment for all students and staff.
What to expect when visiting campus:
  • All visitors must check in at the front office
  • A valid government-issued ID (such as a driver’s license) will be required
  • A visitor badge will be printed and must be worn while on campus
The check-in process is quick and helps us verify visitors while keeping an accurate record of who is on campus. All information is used strictly for school safety and is not shared outside of the system.
We appreciate your cooperation as we take this important step to enhance campus security.

This system helps us better monitor who is on campus and ensures a safe environment for all students and staff.

Please see the FAQ below for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Raptor Visitor Management System?
Raptor is a visitor management system that helps schools track who is on campus and enhances the safety of students and staff.
Why is the school implementing Raptor?
Student safety is our top priority. Raptor allows us to screen visitors, keep accurate records, and ensure that everyone on campus has checked in through the main office.
What should I expect when visiting the school?
All visitors will need to check in at the front office using a valid government-issued ID. A visitor badge will be printed and must be worn while on campus.
What types of IDs does Raptor accept?
Raptor accepts most government-issued photo IDs, including:
  • State-issued driver’s licenses
  • State ID cards
  • Passports or passport cards
  • Permanent Resident Cards (green cards)
  • Military IDs
  • Consular ID cards (such as a Mexican Consulate ID)
In general, if it is a valid government-issued ID with a photo, it will work with the system.
Will I need to bring my ID every time I visit?
Yes. You will need to present your ID each time you check in.
What information is collected, and is it safe?
Raptor scans your ID to verify your identity. The system only collects necessary information for school safety purposes and does not share it with outside organizations.
What if I do not have a government-issued ID?
Please contact the school office ahead of your visit. Staff will work with you to find an alternative way to check in.
How long does the check-in process take?
The process is quick and typically takes less than a minute once you arrive at the front office.
Do I need to check out when I leave?
Yes. All visitors must return to the front office to check out before leaving campus.
Will this apply to all visitors?
Yes. All visitors, including parents/guardians, volunteers, and contractors, must check in through the Raptor system.
How will visitor check-in work during large events like walk-a-thons or parades?
For large school events, we may use a modified check-in process to ensure safety while keeping lines moving efficiently. This may include pre-registration, additional check-in stations, or alternative methods such as name lists or event badges.
All visitors will still be expected to check in in some form and may be required to wear a badge or wristband while on campus. Volunteers who will be working closely with students may still be asked to complete a full check-in.
Additional details will always be shared with families before each event.
When will this start?
Raptor will be implemented districtwide soon. We will communicate specific start dates and any additional details.
Questions? Please comment below. All questions are private and only visible to the administration office and the commenter.
 
We understand that new procedures can feel different at first, and we appreciate your patience and support as we adjust together. These changes are in place to help us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students.

2026-2027 After School Care

Registration Information
Registration Website: campbellusd.arux.app
2026-2027 Interest Submission opens on March 16, 2026 on Arux. 
The Expanded Learning Department's CampbellCare after-school enrollment process must be prioritized per state legislation - Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP). 
The legislation requires that priority placement be given to students in grades TK-6 who meet one or more of the following criteria: 
  • Homeless or Foster Youth
  • English Learner (currently receiving services) 
  • Free or Reduced Lunch Status (application on file with the nutrition department) 
The families of eligible students will be given the opportunity to enroll first, then, if capacity allows, enrollment will be opened up to all. If the number of interested applicants exceeds capacity, there will be a lottery. ELOP applications will be processed in priority of the day in which the completed application was received, rather than the previous minute by minute priority process. 
We are aware of the need for high quality before and after school care for our families, and we are continuing our commitment to hire more staff. We appreciate the support you provide when you refer responsible friends and family members to job openings on our employment page
After-school registration for students who have been identified as ELOP eligible, will be open mid March.
Families will receive the registration link via Parent Square. Families who desire after-school care, who do not have ELOP eligible students, can begin submitting their interest mid March HERE. The 2026-2027 fee rates can be found in the resource section on the top of this page.
