SCHOOL VISITORS

The safety of our students is always at the forefront of district planning. Therefore, we have a doorbell entry system at our school. The front door will remain locked during the school day. Visitors are only allowed to enter through the front door. When you wish to visit the school, you must ring the doorbell that will ring into a phone in the main office. You must identify yourself and your reason for being at school. The office staff will be able to talk to you as well as see you in a monitor. Once staff has identified you and verified your reason for visiting the school, the door will unlock remotely to allow you to enter. All visitors must present a valid photo ID, sign in, and obtain a visitor’s badge to wear while in the building. Bring your photo ID with you EVERY TIME you come to the building. Students from other schools or friends of Homestead students are NOT allowed to visit during the school day without prior approval from the teacher. Parents are always welcome and may visit at any time; however, teachers are not available to conference with parents while they are teaching. If you need to talk with the teacher, please schedule a conference.
