Visitors to School Property Protocol
At Tri-Creek School Corporation, the safety and security of our students and staff are our top priorities. To ensure a secure and welcoming environment, all visitors to school property must adhere to the following protocol:
1. Visitor Check-In Process
- All visitors must enter through the main entrance and proceed directly to the school office.
- A valid, government-issued photo ID is required for entry.
2. Advanced Scheduling
- Visitors are encouraged to schedule appointments in advance whenever possible.
- Unscheduled visits may result in delays or denial of entry due to school operations or safety protocols.
3. Restricted Areas
- Visitors are not permitted in classrooms, hallways, or other restricted areas without prior authorization.
- Parents or guardians wishing to visit a classroom must arrange the visit in advance with the school principal and complete a background check application.
4. Safety Measures
- The district reserves the right to deny entry to any individual who does not comply with these protocols or presents a potential safety concern.
- Visitor activities are monitored, and staff are trained to address security concerns promptly.
5. Prohibited Items and Behavior
- Weapons, tobacco, alcohol, and other prohibited items are strictly forbidden on school property.
- Visitors who display disruptive, threatening, or inappropriate behavior will be asked to leave and may face further consequences.
6. Volunteer and Vendor Procedures
- Volunteers and vendors are required to complete additional clearance requirements as directed by school administration.
- These individuals must also follow the visitor check-in process during their time on school property.
7. Emergency Protocols
- In case of an emergency, visitors must comply with all instructions from school personnel.
- Evacuation or lockdown procedures apply to everyone on school grounds, including visitors.
We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to ensuring a safe and positive environment for our school community!
