CAMPUS VISITORS PROCEDURE

The safety of our students is of utmost importance.

Parents are always welcome at Itasca Elementary, Middle, & High Schools.
The doors to the building are locked with monitored cameras throughout the district, so all visitors will need to ring the buzzer located at the front door.
All visitors, including parents, are required to report to the Main Office to sign in. All visitors must present a current driver’s license or state ID in exchange for a visitor’s pass. IISD schools utilize RAPTOR Visitor sign-in system which works with the National Sex Offender Registry.
All visitors must present ID to be scanned on every visit. NOTE: Since all visitors will be screened by RAPTOR, there is no administrative requirement to escort parents and volunteers unless determined by a campus administrator.
School employees must present their badge upon entering a building.
Current students who are visitors participating as part of a cooperative secondary/elementary school function, must present a school ID but are not required to be scanned for Raptor.

Seniors may be allowed off campus at lunch per the principal's discretion, with parent permission, and students meet qualifications set by the principal. If parents/guardians/family members want to eat lunch with their child at school, please ensure dos on Tuesday and Thursday only.
