a question about parent access to your building

Right now we have fairly open access to parents to come into out building =
(we are a Pre K-12 school, in one big building). We have a receptionist, =
and parents are supposed to sign in and get a visitors tag... but this =
never happens around drop off and pick up and after school hours, and not =
consistently during the day. Even if they do sign in and get a visitor's =
tag, we let them do this and come in to the school at any time of day =
(even if they do not have a specific appointment with anyone, for =
instance) We do lock all but one door from 8:15-2:30 to restrict access.

My question is this:

How do you handle parents/visitors? Are they allowed to enter the school =
at any time? What is your system? do they need a specific reason to enter? =
What about drop off and pick up?


Thanks
