WPS SAFETY REMINDER :)
February 12, 2019 UPDATE
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Safety is a high priority in Texas public schools. When children are in the care of the public school system, staff takes necessary measures to protect students from harm, including contact with visitors. At the same time, because family involvement is extremely important for a student’s success, schools have an open-door policy for parents and guardians. The compromise is to have a process that allows family to easily visit the campus while safeguarding against people who should not be on school property.
Below are our a few procedures at WPS which could ensure your visit is successful!
Please contact the front office if you have questions or concerns, 512-594-5600.
CHECK-IN
As is District policy, visitors will always be expected to check in and get a badge; however once a person has logged in to a campus using their photo identification the first time, follow up visits are as simple as entering name and destination using a self-service kiosk. Printed badges include the time, date, and destination of the visitor. Please wear your badge so it is visible to campus personnel. Visitors to campuses are expected to surrender their printed badge when they leave campus, and that badge will be destroyed.
ARRIVAL 7:05-7:35 am AND DISMISSAL 2:40 - 3:00 pm.
