Part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our building at all times, so we rolled out a system to allow us to do just that. Starting Jan. 24, 2022, WSD visitors now check in to our buildings using Raptor, a new visitor management system designed to assist with building security.

What does that mean for you?

• When you arrive in a WSD building as a visitor, you will be asked to scan your ID, take a photo and complete the management system’s check-in process.

• Raptor will screen the information against sex offender databases and locally customized lists of banned or potentially threatening individuals, instantly alert school officials to a threatening presence, and maintain a searchable log of all visitors.

• Once approved, you will get a customized visitor badge to wear while in the building.

Thank you for your support as we roll this out and enhance school safety protocols!

Parents or guardians who are only picking up a child for the day will not need to use the visitor management system.
