What's Changing?

Visitor Sign In & Out

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:

The check-in process is quick and helps us verify visitors and keep an accurate record of who is on campus at all times. 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.

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.
