New Visitor Check-In System Coming Soon to T/E Schools
The T/E School District will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System to enhance the entrance protocols already in place in our schools. The new visitor management system will provide a consistent method to monitor visitors and volunteers in our buildings while alerting school personnel to the presence of individuals who appear on the sex offender database. We anticipate that the Raptor Visitor Management System will be functional in our schools beginning the week of November 7, 2022.
What to expect when entering our schools
- Once the Raptor system is in place, you will be asked to present a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license, passport card (not the full passport), state identification card, permanent resident card or active military card when entering our schools.
- Your ID will either be scanned or manually entered into the system. In addition to keeping track of who is in our buildings, the Raptor system will check your name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders.
- Once cleared, you will receive a printed badge with your name, photo, date and reason for your visit. The badge must be worn at all times when in the school.
- When leaving the building, you will turn in your badge to the attendant to check out.
- After the first registration, you will not need to have your ID scanned for subsequent visits to the school. The attendant will find your name in the system and use the record of your previously-scanned ID to sign you in and print a current badge.
If you do not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use a different form of identification along with your date of birth. Visitors without an ID may be escorted by a school staff member while in the building.

Regular School Board Meetings Streamed Live Starting October 25 |
A video recording of each regular Board meeting will continue to be available on the T/E School District website following the meeting. At its discretion, the Board may discontinue video recording or live-streaming due to technical issues, personnel availability or other circumstances that disrupt or impede the meeting.
How do I access the live meetings?
Links to TESD’s YouTube Channel and TETV on-line are available from the TESD home page under School Board.
How can I make a public comment during the meeting?
The School Board will continue to provide in-person public comment opportunities at all public Board meetings. Residents and taxpayers who wish to make a public comment may do so in person during the public comment periods at the meeting. Comments may also be shared with the Board via email at [email protected]; however, these comments will not be read aloud during Board meetings.

Beaumont Elementary School Promotes Peace
The International Day of Peace, also officially known as World Peace Day, is a United Nations-sanctioned holiday observed annually on September 21. Beaumont Elementary School has made it a tradition each September to promote the spirit of the annual event with a series of activities throughout the day.
In the morning, students participate in a school-wide rotation schedule in which they visit various classrooms throughout the building to listen to stories or complete activities that are all promoting the spirit of unity, friendship, and peace.
The spirit of the day is continued throughout the lunch periods as students are invited to eat a picnic lunch outside with opportunities to engage in conversation and socialize with their peers. As a special culminating activity this year, all students and staff gathered on the school field to form symbols of peace as a group. A student from Conestoga High School’s drone club was able to capture some amazing aerial footage of the symbols.
