We welcome visitors to our schools. Part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times.
Little Chute Area School District is using new safety technology to manage visitors to our schools. This technology, the Raptor Visitor Management System, is used in conjunction with our existing exterior door buzzers and security cameras. The system requires the presentation of a valid ID for all visitors requesting to move about the school building beyond the office during school hours.
Here is how it works:
-
All visitors to our schools continue to report directly to the school’s main office.
-
If a visitor is simply picking up or dropping off a child or an item, or needs to speak with an administrator, they do not need to acquire a visitor’s badge.
-
Every time visitors, including parents, volunteers, contractors, and vendors are requesting to move about the school building, they are asked to present a valid, government-issued ID that is scanned into the Raptor System.
-
Once entry is approved, the system prints a badge that identifies the visitor, the date/time, and the purpose of their visit. Visitors need to return the badge to the school office when they exit the building.
-
The Raptor system will only be used when school is in session. The system will not be used for after-school activities.
-
ID cards will be scanned with each visit. However, the check-in procedure will be much faster at subsequent visits.
-
No additional visitor data other than visitor name, date of birth, and photo, is gathered nor is the system connected to any other system such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Copies will not be made of ID cards.
-
If a visitor requesting school access beyond the office does not have a US government-issued ID, the visitor will be referred to the District Office.
The Raptor System:
-
Marks the time of the visitor’s arrival.
-
Compares the visitor’s name, date of birth, and photo with those in a national database of registered sex offenders.
-
Compares the visitor’s name to a prohibited persons list: No-contact orders, persons who have threatened students or faculty members, persons with restraining orders banning contact with students or staff members, and parents with limited visitation rights of their student.
-
If a visitor is a positive match, a school administrator will meet with the visitor.
