Raptor Visitor Management System
Woodlands School is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all students, staff, and visitors. In the coming weeks, we will be implementing Raptor, our new visitor management system, to enhance school security.
Visitor Entry Process
To ensure proper screening, the only entry point for families and visitors before and during school hours will be through the main office.
What does this mean for visitors?
- Upon arrival at a Woodlands campus, visitors must present a valid ID, such as a Driver’s License or another form of identification.
- The ID will be scanned or manually entered into the Raptor system. If a visitor does not have a U.S. government-issued ID, school staff can manually enter their name.
- The system checks the visitor’s name and date of birth against a national database of registered sex offenders. This is the only database checked. No other personal data is collected, stored, or shared.
- Approved visitors will receive a printed badge displaying their name, date, and purpose of visit.
- Visitors who are only dropping off items or picking up paperwork do not need a badge.
Why Raptor?
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. The Raptor system allows us to quickly identify individuals who may pose a potential risk and ensures we maintain a secure environment for everyone in our buildings.
Additional Safety Initiatives
Woodlands School also follows the I Love U Guys Foundation protocols for emergency response and the Stand Up, Speak Out Wisconsin initiative to foster a safe and inclusive school environment. These programs help us implement clear emergency procedures and promote a culture of awareness, preparedness, and student empowerment.
We appreciate your cooperation and support as we implement these important safety measures. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of Raptor’s implementation.
Thank you for helping us enhance security at Woodlands School.
