Ranger Families,
We have made some changes to our front office procedures based on a safety audit we had to make the front office and building even more secure. We want to share these changes with you so you are aware when you come to campus. Thank you!
Visitor Check-In:
-All visitors must show their ID to come into the building
-Our Verkada check-in system is now located in the foyer (vestibule).
-All visitors coming into the front office (ex: attending ARD meetings, teacher conferences, or any other meetings with staff) must sign in through Verkada and get a visitor sticker.
-Visitors will only be allowed into the front office if their reason for visiting requires that they come in the building. Otherwise, they will sit in the foyer (vestibule).
Tardies Procedure:
- Parents will sign-in students arriving after 7:30 AM using the sign-in sheets in the foyer (vestibule) and only the student will be allowed to enter the front office.
Early Pick-Up
-Parents/guardians must show their ID at the camera and provide the student’s name..
-The front office staff will verify in Skyward that they are listed for pick-up before releasing the student. The parent/guardian will wait in the foyer (vestibule).
