Accessing Campuses to Volunteer
The Raptor system provides integrated school safety software that enables our schools to screen visitors and track volunteers. Visitors attending occasionally in schools or for special functions can simply sign in through the school’s main office using the Raptor system.  
 
For those who collaborate with school leadership or faculty on a long-term regular basis, a volunteer application is also required, in addition to signing in through Raptor for each visit. Examples for visitors and volunteers are provided below along with the steps for submitting a volunteer application.
 
Raptor Use for Visitors
Examples include:
  • Lunchtime visits
  • Book fair helper
  • Field trip chaperone
