We are pleased to announce that we are now using the Raptor Visitor Management System to strengthen our program of campus safety.
Part of keeping our school community safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system allows us to do that. This system will better enable us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for all.
Upon entering our building, visitors will be asked to present a driver’s license, passport or state-issued ID, which can be scanned into the system. If a visitor for any reason does not have an ID, they will not be granted access into the building. The Raptor system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our building without our knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by this system. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded and the information is not shared with any outside agency.
Once a visitor’s entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up a student, or for staff and faculty.
Please note that all visitors arriving for scheduled meetings or presentations must be met in the Main Office and escorted to their destination. They should also return to the Main Office following their visit to sign out.
The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor system allows us to quickly identify those that may present a danger to our students. We thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols at Cardinal O’Hara.
