Visitor Management

The visitor identification system enhances safety by reading visitor driver’s licenses and then quickly printing a visitor badge that can include the name of the visitor, time, date, destination, and purpose of visit. Identification includes all state-issued IDs, driver’s licenses, military IDs, a social security card, a green card, or some other form of government-issued identification that has name and date of birth.

Raptor scans your name, date of birth, and a photo for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders, but it does not check criminal or traffic history. Raptor will also check our Student Information System to make sure you are permitted to check out a student. School staff members might also place notifications on your accounts to help keep your contact information current. An example might be a request to update your primary phone number if one is no longer working. 

Raptor accepts any stat-issued ID, including state-issued driver's licenses, sate ID cards concealed handgun licenses, military IDs, government, ID, Canadian driver's licenses, Mexican driver's license and alien registration cards.

There is still a way for you to access to our schools and check out your student. You need to speak directly with an  staff member who will ask you for your legal name, date of birth, relationship to the student and reason for visiting.  Office staff will manually confirm your identification, run a background check and confirm you are listed as a person who can check out the student. This may take a few minutes longer than the ID scan to complete 

Raptor compares your name, date of birth and photo with a national database of registered sex offenders, It does not check criminal or traffic history. Raptor also checks the Excelsior Spring's student information system to ensure you are permitted to check out the student.

Raptor does not know if you have an outstanding warrant, a DUI, parking tickets or are undocumented. The National Sex Offender Public Registry and Excelsior Spring's student information system are the only databases Raptor checks. 

Upon scanning your ID, a silent alert goes to the administrative staff member so they can meet with you privately.

Missouri Statute 566.149.1 requires any parent, legal guardian or custodian who is a registered sex offender to request permission to be present on a school campus from the superintendent. If permission is granted, the superintendent or designee must inform the principal of the school where the sex offender will be present. Permission must be granted for each specific event the offender wishes to attend.

If you have permission for your visit, you will be allowed, with supervision, to continue into the building to contact your child. This supervision will ensure your rights are protected in a controlled environment. 

Schools with a Kiosk -  You will only be required to scan your ID the first time you visit and register. After you have registered you will us a kiosk in the school office and type your name for verification.

Schools without a Kiosk - You will be required to scan your ID each time you visit.
