Visit or Volunteer
Welcome Visitors
Parents and guardians are welcome and encouraged to visit schools. Visitors must provide advance notice and receive approval from the building principal or Director of Pupil Services & Supports. Visits are limited to one class period per month to minimize disruptions. Visitors must register, sign in, wear a visitor’s badge, and follow school health and safety rules. Unauthorized or disruptive behavior can result in limited access to school premises.
For the safety of our students and staff, all Kennett schools use the Navigate 360 Visitor Management System. Parents, guests, and visitors who plan to visit beyond the main office must have a visitor's ID badge.
- All visitors must have an appointment. If you are planning to visit a classroom or other area of the school building during the school day, visitors should call the building office and pre-register for an appointment prior to the date of the visit.
- Absent an emergency, requests to meet with a classroom teacher or other staff member should be made in advance to allow the school time to make arrangements for substitute coverage, as necessary.
- All visitors shall enter the main entrance of the school and utilize the “buzzer” located outside of the building to notify the office.
- All visitors must identify themselves and their purpose, no exceptions. Familiar visitors can simply be asked their purpose.
- All visitors must present photo identification. The photo ID will be secured in the main office and will be returned upon sign out.
- All visitor IDs will be vetted by the Navigation 360 Visitor Management System; authorized visitors will then be given a red KCSD Visitor lanyard with a visitor’s badge which must be worn at all times while in the building.
