• SMMUSD Visitor Policy
    WRLC is a closed campus.

    1. Enter via the main office.
    2. Office staff will ask the reason for the visit. Visitors must have a previously arranged and administrator/designee approved reason for being on campus. Surprise/drop-in attempts to volunteer or visit classrooms are not permitted. The office will call the teacher to notify them of the visitor’s arrival and confirm the visit/volunteering.
    3. The office will ask the visitor for their driver’s license (or other government issued identification), and the Raptor computer system will scan the ID. A sticker badge will be printed showing the ID picture, the date, time, school name, and campus location of the visit.
    4. Visitors will place the sticker badge on their body in a visible location. Students have been taught to let a teacher know if they see someone without a badge.  If adults see someone without a badge (all staff wear a badge as well), they should immediately inform the office.  Badges must be worn at all times during a visit.
    5. The office will buzz in the visitor.
    6. Visitors must go directly to the volunteer classroom/location, and upon finishing, return directly to the office. Visitors are not permitted to go to other locations on campus if it has not been previously arranged.
    7. When leaving campus, the sticker badge may be returned to the office and the office staff will sign the visitor out via the Raptor system. Exit campus through the main office. It is important to check out with the office staff, so the office is aware of all individuals on campus in the case of an emergency.
      • Even if the office knows the parent or visitor, all individuals visiting or volunteering must follow these procedures for the safety of the campus.
      • When volunteering first thing in the morning, please drop your child off at the gate and then go to the office to follow these procedures. Do not go straight to the classroom; volunteers need to sign in and get a sticker badge.
      • Raptor badge system for campus safety so that we know who, when, where, and why everyone is on campus. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by the Raptor system, and in the event of a match, Raptor notifies designated school officials.  No other data from the ID is gathered, and no data will be shared with any outside company or organization. For large school-wide events, and events open to the public, a paper check-in system may be used if the Raptor system creates an excessive delay.

    Volunteering: Parents must attend a Volunteer Orientation and complete the required SMMUSD Level 1 Volunteer Application to be permitted to volunteer. Please see our website for upcoming trainings. Applications are approved by the nurse and administration, and cleared applications are valid for 4 years. 

    Observations: All observations must be scheduled with administration in advance, and are 20 minutes unless approved by the administration for longer.

    Thank you for your assistance in helping to keep our campus safe.
