VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS

The safety of all children is of paramount importance. Immediately upon entering campus, all visitors, including volunteers, are required to register with the school office and obtain a badge. All adults on campus during school hours must have a staff, visitors, or volunteer badge. Visitors may be accompanied by school officials while on campus, and may be denied permission to enter classrooms while in session if school officials determine that there is a substantial likelihood of interference.

Board Policy 4.415 prohibits volunteers on campus until they have completed a background check and had a TB Skin Test. All visitors and cleared volunteers must report to the school office, sign-in, and wear a badge/nametag while on campus. The PTA keeps track of volunteer hours and reports them to Palomar Council. If you are planning on volunteering and have not completed the proper paperwork, please contact the Office and remember that you may not volunteer until this is completed.
