While many on campus might know you, LCMSD cannot say with confidence that every student knows every teacher or parent volunteer. Having ID badges gives students/staff greater security in seeking assistance from (or simply identifying) adults who they know are cleared to be on campus.

Please send them to the school front office - OR - notify the someone at the front office that there is an individual on campus without identification (let the office staff member know where you saw the individual so that a staff member can approach them).

For the first time user it should take less than a minute to process. Subsequent check-in should take less than 30 seconds. We appreciate all our volunteers at school and our goal is to not discourage parents, but rather to enhance our safety practices.

RAPTOR is a visitor registration system that enhances school security by reading visitor driver’s licenses, comparing the information to a sex offender database, alerting campus administrators if a match is found, then (assuming no match was made) printing a visitor badge that includes a photo.

Drivers’ license information is compared to a database that consists of registered sex offenders from all 50 states, including California. If a match is found, campus administrators and law enforcement personnel can take appropriate steps to keep the campus safe.

Safety of our students is our highest priority. Raptor will provide a consistent system to track visitors and volunteers while keeping away people who present a danger to students and staff members. The system quickly prints visitor badges that include a photo, the name of the visitor, time, and date.

In the event of an emergency, the check-in system can print a roster of all volunteers on campus so that the school can account for them.

The check-in system quickly scans volunteers. For example, if a registered sex offender were to sign-in, the principal and I would receive a text immediately and the office staff are given a prompt to stall the individual while administration heads to the office.

Raptor is only scanning the visitor’s name, date of birth, partial license number, and photo for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. Additional visitor data will not be gathered and no data will be shared with any outside company or organization.

Staff can manually enter the individual’s first and last name and date of birth. The administrator can choose to manually enter information up to two times for a visitor.

Yes. You need to be sure of who is on your campus, why they are here, and particularly if a student is involved (e.g., early pickup) – be able to confirm that an individual has the authority to have access to the student. You can only do this by knowing exactly with whom you are dealing.

It promotes staff vigilance and “see something, say something.” In the Fall of 2017 a man was arrested who had walked through the Hall campus and was reported to police when he was outside of the District Office. This man had unloaded gun in his possession. He might have been stopped/reported earlier on campus if the ID badge policy were in place. Central Marin Police Authority support this policy, and over 75% of elementary schools require staff to wear badges with photo IDs.

Check in at the school main office is required upon entering the school campus during the instructional day.
