Colorado SKIES Academy is pleased to announce that we began using the Raptor Visitor Management System in our school last week to strengthen our program of campus safety for learners and faculty. Part of keeping learners and staff safe is knowing who is always in our building, and the Raptor system allows us to do that. The Raptor system better allows us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our school and provides us with a safer environment for our learners and staff.
Upon entering the school, visitors will be asked to present an ID, such as a Driver’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 member can use any form of 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 campus without our knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visitor’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 entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of their visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our school simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
The safety of our learners is our highest priority, and the Raptor visitor management system allows us to quickly identify those who may present a danger to our learners. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols at Colorado SKIES Academy.
Sincerely,
Directors Coryell and Motley
