right at the front door to the school, and there are two people in the
office almost all the time. The office has glass surrounding it so it
should be easy to monitor the comings and goings of visitors. The
problem is that both of our office employees are busy and cannot keep a
constant eye on who is entering and leaving the building.=20
Most parents do sign in and get a visitor's tag during the day, but that
rarely happens either before or after school. =20

Subject: 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
