We are thrilled to announce all JCSS schools are adopting the Raptor Safe mobile application as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety, while streamlining visitor management check-in at our schools. The Raptor Safe app builds upon existing visitor procedures, offering a more convenient and secure check-in process for visitors. 

What is the Raptor Safe App?

The Raptor Safe app offers a convenient and secure way for visitors to manage and verify their identity before arriving at a school. With the Raptor Passport feature, visitors can pre-verify their identity, allowing for a seamless sign-in process when they arrive on campus.

How Does It Work?

When visiting a school, visitors can use their secure QR code generated by the app to expedite the check-in process. QR codes automatically regenerate every 5 minutes to ensure security and prevent misuse.

Importance of Attendance & coming to school!

Talking to your child, regarding the importance of attendance, is another support of being responsible.
Children who miss school miss out on opportunities to learn, build lasting friendships, and develop the skills and attitudes needed to become good citizens and valued employees. There is a clear connection between student attendance and student performance in school. 

HOW CAN I HELP MY CHILD?

• Let your child know that you think school is important.

• Make sure your child goes to school regularly and on time.

• Take an interest in your child's school work.

• Set a regular bedtime schedule. Age should not be a factor.

• Provide your child with plenty of time to get ready for school.

• Provide regular times and a quiet, clean area for doing homework.

• If your child starts to miss school, speak to the school and let your child know that he/she must attend.

• Have regular communication with the school.

• If your child is ill, contact the school and explain the reason for the absence. Turn in a note!

• Don't expect your older children to stay home and act as babysitters for younger children.

• Set good examples and enforce rules.

• Include regular exercise and a balanced diet in your child's daily activities.

• Post the school calendar and notes on the refrigerator, or another prominent location.
