Franklin School Safety-Raptor Security System
The Raptor system will allow us to more closely track visitors,
contractors, and volunteers in our school.
For the safety of students and staff all school entrances are locked throughout the student day.
At Franklin, visitors who arrive during the instructional day enter the building through Door #1, the main
door off 5th St. As you enter the foyer, visitors press the intercom button to speak to the school staff
and receive assistance.
Effective January 2,2020 WSD will be using the Raptor Security System to sign in all school
visitors who need to enter the student learning areas. You will need to present valid state issued ID.
(State Driver’s License or State I.D.) Your I.D. will be scanned and the Raptor system will
automatically notify office staff if a visitor is not eligible to gain access to the school. If approved,
visitors will receive a personal visitor’s badge to wear throughout their visit.
Important:
A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools to simply pick up or drop off
an item in the office (lunchbox, homework, etc.)
The Raptor System will not be used for those who are picking up their child from the office as long
as they are not going into the interior learning environment. We will continue to check individual
ID’s for identify purposes and only dismiss children to authorized adults.
The Raptor Visitor Management System and process will only be used during school hours.
(8:25 AM-3:35 PM) Attendees at after-hours events such as performances, ceremonies, or
academic/athletic competitions will not be required to complete the process.
Visitors for Franklin Family lunch days will not need to use the Raptor system. Visitors simply sign
in/out with a staff person at the front door. Family lunch visitors should not leave the lunchroom or lunchroom hallway area and will stay in view of district staff.
At the beginning of the school year, WSD provided each student
with a pair of headphones to use at school. Beginning 2nd semester
of 2020, if a student loses or breaks their headphones, we will ask
families to supply headphones from home or families can send
$3.00 to buy a replacement pair.
