Visitor Procedures

Guest Protocol for entering our building

Our primary goal is to make visitors feel welcome as they arrive to visit our school community, while still ensuring student and staff safety. In conjunction with the Mahwah Police Department, the high school will be implementing the following building visitor procedures.

DROPPING OFF ITEMS FOR STUDENTS 

Items that need to be dropped off for students must be labeled (envelopes available) with:
Student´s first name
Student´s last name
Grade level

Items should be placed on the bookshelf located in the front foyer (on the right) between the outside doors and inner doors. Greeters will not allow you to enter the building lobby to drop off items at the greeter’s desk. The greeter will secure the items dropped off, once you leave and then the greeter will notify students to pick-up their items.


BUILDING ACCESS FOR APPOINTMENTS 
In order to access any section of the building, you should have a scheduled appointment. Upon arrival, parents and visitors are required to enter through the Visitor’s entrance (Main Entrance Door 1 on far right at top of steps):

 
           1) Scan driver license bar codes at the Raptor visitor kiosk located on the right of the foyer. 
           2) Approved visitors will be given a visitor’s badge from the greeter, complete an attestation form, and have their temperature taken.
           3) Visitors are required to return the visitor’s badge to the greeter upon exiting the building or scan out at the kiosk to indicate they have left the building.

In addition, please understand that during our lunch period from 10:35 am- 11:20 am staff are supervising and assisting students. Therefore, to ensure the safety of our students, visitors must have an appointment or prior authorization to enter the building during lunch.


I thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience as we continue to refine our building visitor procedures to ensure building safety.

Thank you,
