Due to insurance reasons ONLY Addison District Students will be able to attend.

Addison Central School District is pleased to

announce that we will begin using the Raptor

Visitor Management System in all of our

schools to strengthen our program of campus

safety for students and staff. Part of keeping

students and staff safe is knowing who is in

our buildings at all times, and the Raptor sys-

tem will allow us to do that. The Raptor sys-

tem will better allow us to screen visitors, con-

tractors, and volunteers in our schools and

provide us with a safer environment for our

students and staff.

Upon entering all district buildings, visitors

will be asked to present an ID such as a Driv-

er’s License, which can either be scanned or

manually entered into the system. If a parent

or guardian for any reason does not have a US

government-issued ID, the school staff mem-

ber can use any form of picture identification

and manually enter the person’s name into the

Raptor system. The Raptor system will check

to ensure that registered sexual offenders are

not entering our school campuses without our

knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visi-

tor'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 the

Raptor system. No other data from the ID is

gathered or recorded and the information is

not shared with any outside agency. Once en-

try is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that

identifies the visitor, the date, location, 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 paperwork.

In addition, if anyone does not have a badge, all

staff will easily be able to identify the individual

and have them check in at the main office.

The safety of our students is our highest priori-

ty and the Raptor visitor management system

allows us to quickly identify those that may

present a danger to our students. Thank you in

advance for your understanding and your sup-

port in enhancing the school safety protocols

in our district.
