Closed Campus Policies
To preserve the academic environment and school security, archdiocesan and parish schools are designated as closed campuses. No person may enter the campus unless authorized by the school administration. Visitors must present themselves at the school office if they need information or have business to conduct with the school.
Parent Visitors
Parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. The school supports, enhances, and complements this role. Keeping this in mind, parents are encouraged to take an active role volunteering on campus. Opportunities for involvement include yard duty, assisting in the classroom, working with special projects or programs, and working with the hot lunch program. All parents who volunteer for these duties must be VIRTUS trained and fingerprinted except where the volunteering is within the presence of a fingerprinted and VIRTUS trained staff member. Parents are also welcome to observe in the classroom. To minimize the disruption, parents are asked to set up a mutually agreeable time for observation with the teacher. A parent who does not have legal custody of his/her child, but has visitation rights may visit on campus, subject to the above guidelines and the visitation guidelines, unless the school has received a legal order prohibiting such a visit. All parents visiting or volunteering on campus must sign in at the front office and wear a visitor’s badge while on campus.
