New visitor management system
Prospect Valley Elementary School is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.
Upon entering Prospect Valley Elementary School, visitors will be asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s License, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent or guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. Within a few seconds, the system will either clear the visitor and provide the visitor a name badge or flag the visitor’s name. Upon notice of a flag, further inquiry will be conducted to research the reason for the flag. During this inquiry, the person will not be permitted on campus. This inquiry could take a day or two depending on the availability of our security team.
No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded and the information is not shared with any outside agency.
Use of this system will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor Visitor Management System quickly identifies those that may present a danger to our students. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety at Prospect Valley Elementary School.
