School Safety Updates for 2018-2019
Improvements have been made this summer to our safety features at school regarding visitors to Tiffany Ridge. The entry process and expectations are as follows:
- Visitors will “buzz” in at the A/V box outside our school's front door before being granted access to the front office. All entry doors will be locked throughout the school day.
- Each visitor must register with Raptor (ID Scanner in the office) on their first visit to school. Guardians and Emergency Contacts will already have an account in the system, but will still need to scan their identification each time they enter the school.
- Once a visitor has registered, their Raptor account will be accessible at any school in the district.
- Visitors must scan their ID at the kiosk for every visit or student check out.
- Visitors will then pick up their ID sticker from the office staff.
While these changes are not as convenient as the past, they help to add more security to our school to keep our children as safe as possible! Thank you for your cooperation with these important safety measures!
