1004.03 - Visitors to School District Facilties

The board welcomes the interest of parents and other members of the school district community, and invites them to visit the school facilities.  Visitors, which include persons other than school district personnel or students, must notify the principal of their presence in the facility upon arrival.  Entry during a normal school day is only by means of the northeast entrance doors.

Persons who wish to visit a classroom while school is in session are asked to notify the principal and obtain approval from the principal prior to the visit so appropriate arrangements can be made and so class disruption can be minimized.  Teachers and other school district personnel shall not take time from their duties to discuss matters with visitors.

Visitors shall conduct themselves in a manner fitting to their age level and maturity and with mutual respect and consideration for the rights of others while attending school events or acting as a representative of the school district.  Visitors failing to conduct themselves accordingly may be asked to leave the premises.  Children who wish to visit school must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. 

It shall be the responsibility of school district personnel to report inappropriate conduct and the responsibility of the superintendent and principal to take the action necessary to cease the inappropriate conduct.  If the superintendent or principal are not available, the school district employee shall act to cease the inappropriate conduct.
