    School/Facility Check-in Procedures
     
    Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times. FCS uses Raptor to track visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools/facilities.
     
    Upon entering a district building, visitors are asked to present a valid state-issued ID, which is scanned into the system and checked against the national registered sexual offender database. It is important to note that the Raptor system only scans the visitor's name, date of birth and photo. Additional visitor data from the driver's license is not gathered nor is the system connected to any other system such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore any other information on the ID is not scanned by the system and is not accessible to any of the users. Once entry is approved, Raptor issues a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. All visitors must scan and return their badge when departing from the building.
