Today's Edition: Visitors and Volunteers on Campus
Visiting our Campus
We invite all visitors to our campus to self-screen for COVID symptoms and reschedule appointments to visit our campus if COVID symptoms are present.
After the first day of school, parents, guardians and others who have scheduled appointments are welcome to visit our school on or after August 31. (Kinder parents are allowed to walk Kinder students to class the 1st four days of school.) All volunteers, parent-teacher conferences, meetings, etc., must be prearranged. For the safety of those within the school setting, all visitors are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of courtesy and conduct. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. All visitors must immediately report to the Receptionist to sign in and receive a visitor pass to wear while on campus. We recommend that visitors and volunteers wear masks while on campus.
Raptor Visitor Management System
For the safety and security of our students, LTISD has implemented the Raptor Visitor Management System at all campuses. Raptor is the nation's leading provider of integrated school safety technologies and is designed to ensure that adult visitors on campus are identified and do not pose a threat to any students or staff.
Upon entering an LTISD campus, visitors will be asked to present one of the following forms of identification:
- Valid Driver’s License (any state)
- Passport State-Issued Identification
- Card Work Visa Green Card
Licenses or identification cards will be scanned and returned. Once cleared, visitors will be issued a visitor's badge, which must be worn at all times while on campus. Upon departure, the visitor's badge must be returned to the Receptionist.
Visitors and Volunteers
Once your photo ID has been scanned into the Raptor Visitor Management System, it should retain your personal information, making it possible for you to obtain your own visitor or volunteer badge at one of our Raptor kiosks without a need to have your photo ID scanned into the system again. The kiosks are located in the Front Office.
Once you have obtained your visitor or volunteer badge, please be sure to wear your visitor or volunteer badge while you are on our campus. As you depart, you can electronically sign out and return your badge to the Receptionist.
When signing in, It's important that you correctly identify yourself as either a visitor or a volunteer. The Raptor system helps us to track your volunteer hours of service, and we like to recognize our volunteers for their service. We don't want you to miss out on any opportunities to be appropriately recognized and thanked for your service.
Volunteers can perform any job that does not require working alone with students. Note: If volunteers plan to work alone with one or more students, they must agree to a complete criminal background check to be conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Inquire with the campus Volunteer Coordinator for more details.
- Volunteers will be required to sign in through Raptor each time they visit.
- Volunteers will be required to sign a Confidentiality Pledge each school year. (inside Volunteer Handbook)
- Volunteer opportunities are available as soon as the campus is ready to receive assistance.
