Raptor Visitor Information System: As part of the Ann Arbor Public School’s commitment to student safety, every school in the district is instituting a new visitor management check-in system at the main entrance greeter desk or in the front office.

To help us keep track of who is in our schools during the school day we ask that you present your identification, either a driver’s license or identification card when you visit the school. If you don’t have an identification card the Office Professional or Community Assistant at the high schools will assist you. Once you have presented your identification the first time you will be in the system and will no longer need to present your ID for future visits. This is true for visits to other AAPS schools as well.

The system creates a visitor badge for you to wear while you are visiting the school. Please remember to check out at the office or desk where the badge was issued upon completion of your visit. The visitor management system also checks your identification against the national sex offender database.

The benefits of a visitor management system for our schools include:

• Up-to-date information about who is in our schools, where they are and the time they entered, especially important during any type of emergency drill or actual emergency situation.

• Creates customized visitor badges with photos to easily identify visitors, contractors, volunteers, parents.

• Provides instant and accurate screening off the national sex offender registry and custom alerts for custody restrictions, banned visitors, etc.

While the district must comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the Children’s Internet.

Protection Act (CIPA), due diligence was conducted to ensure visitor’s Personal Identifiable.

Information (PPI) is secure. Note that the cost for the selected system comes as part of the Michigan State Police School Security grant that AAPS received, the second largest grant award in the state. We are pleased to provide another layer of security for our students and staff during the school day.
