2025 -SCHOOL VISITORS
The Board encourages parents/guardians and others interested in public education to visit schools. To ensure that school campuses are safe and orderly, the superintendent or school principals may establish rules governing school visitors, consistent with this policy.
2025.1 All visitors must check in at the school office.
2025.2 Principals may delay visits during student testing or at other times when visits may disrupt school activities.
2025.3 Parents/guardians wishing to discuss individual student progress should request a meeting with the teacher in advance. Such meetings should take place outside of regular classroom hours.
2025.4 Any person who disrupts school operations, is disorderly, damages school property, threatens students or staff, or otherwise poses a risk to safe and orderly school operations may be asked to leave school property. A school principal may prohibit such persons from attending school events or coming on school property. Unless necessary to ensure school safety, such prohibitions may last for no longer than the remainder of the school year. Unless inconsistent with safe and orderly school operations, a principal shall make reasonable allowances so that a person prohibited from coming onto school property may participate in the education of children for whom the person is legally responsible.
