VISITOR’S POLICY 

Conder’s policy for parents visiting in the school during the school day is based on our desire to provide a secure environment for the students and staff as well as an environment conducive for learning. To insure that this occurs, our practices include the following:

• Visitors are expected to report to the main office when they arrive on the campus. All exterior doors are locked from the outside during the day, with the exception of the main entrance doors on Hunt Club Road.
• Permission to go to any area other than the office must be secured from the administration or the office staff. Office staff members have been directed to either ask the visitor to wait in the office or direct the visitor to the classroom, depending on the situation.
• Administrators or office staff members may deny permission to visit to classroom if they feel that it is in the best interest of the students and/or staff to do so.
• All visitors are to wear a "visitor's pass" while in the school. Passes are to be returned to the office when leaving the school. For programs held in the cafeteria, enter and exit at Brookfield Road doors. Visitor's Passes are still required and will be issued at the door as the guests sign in.  Please, do not go to any other areas without checking in at the office first.
• Visitors have permission to visit only those areas approved by the office staff. Violation of this could result in a request to leave the campus immediately.

·         Visitors may not interrupt, disturb or otherwise interfere with the school's instructional program.

• Visitors may not photograph, or audio/video tape students without the prior permission of the principal.
• When permission has been denied to visit on the campus or when the school policy has been violated, the visitor will be asked to leave the campus immediately. Refusal to comply with this request will be reported to the school resource officer or district security officer.

  Visitor Considerations

Because having different people come into a classroom may affect time on task, all visitors will be screened by the principal or office staff.  Whenever possible, teachers will be notified in advance if there will be a visitor in their classroom.

If you invite someone to visit in your classroom, be sure that you notify the office that you are expecting a visitor, who the visitor is, and where the visitor is to report.

Parents/guardians who drop by to observe in the classroom are encouraged to stay no longer than 20 minutes in the classroom.  Longer visits may distract students, thereby disrupting the flow of instruction. 

All visitors must report to the office before going anywhere in the building. They will be given visitor’s passes to wear. If someone comes to your room without a visitor's sticker, please send them to the office to obtain one.  All staff members are to be aware of visitors in the building and on the campus. Report all unauthorized visitors to the office.
