What is your visitor policy?

We welcome visitors, and highly encourage all visitors to call ahead to your respective school when planning to visit or when you need an appointment. Please adhere to the following protocol:

If you are entering the building but do not need access to the hallways (i.e., you’re not dropping off or picking up students, books, lunches, medications, coming for a parent-teacher meeting, etc.), you must report to the school’s front office area and sign the visitor booklet.
If you need access to other parts of the school building (i.e., you are dropping off or picking up students, books, lunches, medications, coming for a parent-teacher meeting, etc.), visitors must produce a valid Pennsylvania driver’s license to the building secretary upon entering the building in order to gain entry.
If a visitor who wishes to enter the building does not have a valid driver’s license, he/she will need to have their identity confirmed by a district employee before entering.
