Visitors on Campus

Guidelines

Parents and others are welcome to visit Katy ISD schools. For the safety of those within the school setting, all visitors are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of courtesy and conduct. Disruptive behavior will not be permitted. All visitors to a campus must report to the front office to sign in and receive a visitor pass to wear while on campus.

Because of safety and space concerns, lunch visitors at the secondary level are limited to parents, guardians, grandparents and school-related mentors. Lunch visitors at the elementary level may be immediate family members, grandparents and campus mentors.

Persons who wish to visit their child’s classroom must make arrangements at least on day in advance with the principal, principal’s designee, or the teacher. Visitors in classrooms are there as observers and should not become involved in discussions or classroom activities unless invited to do so by the teacher. If a visitor has need for a discussion with the teacher, a conference must be scheduled outside of instructional time.

To maintain an orderly environment, approved visitors should not include the child’s siblings or other children. All visitors should turn off cell phones or paging devices in instructional settings.

Raptor Visitor Tracking System

For the safety and security of your child, Katy ISD has implemented a new visitor tracking system in all of its schools. The purpose of this system is to ensure that adult visitors on campus do not pose a threat to any students.

Upon entering you child’s campus, you will be asked to present one of the following forms of identification in order to move beyond the front desk:

• Valid Drivers License (any state)
• State-Issued I.D. Card
• Work Visa
• Green Card

Your license or identification card will be scanned. Once cleared you will be issued a visitor’s badge, which must be worn while you are on campus. Upon your departure the visitor’s badge must be returned to the front office.

In addition to having all campus visitors scan their identification at the front desk when they visit, we are asking all parents to allow your child to walk to class in the morning on their own. For elementary students, there will be an exception during the first week of school so you can assist your child in learning their way to class.
