New to ALL Dodge City Public Schools for the Safety of All Students is a New System for Visitors called Hall Pass
Hall Pass Visitor Management protects students and school staff members from the risks of unwanted visitors or child predators gaining access to campus and other school events.
The Hall Pass system is being implemented in all of our school buildings. Hall Pass will track visitors, students, faculty, contractors, and volunteers at our schools. The implementation of the Hall Pass system helps provide a safer more monitored environment for students and staff.
When visiting one of the district's schools, all visitors will be required to provide a valid state ID, driver's license, green car or military ID. This ID will be quickly scanned and verified against the national sex offender database complete with their name and picture will be printed. The visitor's badge must be worn while on campus and returned to the front office upon leaving.
With the addition of the Hall Pass visitor identification system to our school visitor procedures, we feel certain this will add another layer of safety to our schools. School safety and the safety of all students is a priority of the district. We appreciate your help and cooperation with this new visitor procedure. During your next visit to any Dodge City Public School, please remember and be prepared to present your picture ID.
