Visitor Management System Roll Out Continues
At the beginning of the year, Hilliard Schools began implementing a new visitor check-in system at several of our schools. This has been both easy to use and is enhancing the safety of our students, faculty, and staff. We are excited to take the next step and roll this system out to all schools in the district in the coming month.
School Safe ID will require all visitors to present a valid state-issued ID. The system will compare the visitor’s name and date of birth to the national database of registered sex offenders. It is managed through a kiosk in the front office. Visitors must scan their valid state-issued ID, and once approved, the visitor will be issued a badge that identifies his or her name and purpose for visiting the school. The system will only record the visitor’s name and date of birth. No additional date from the license will be entered into the system. Visitors will not need to use the system should they simply need to drop off something in the main office. The process should take less than ten seconds, and we know you will agree that the safety of our students, faculty, and staff is of utmost importance.
Board Community Conversation
To prepare all students without exception to be Ready for Tomorrow, we must create authentic partnerships with our community. We want to hear your ideas, thoughts, and opinions about how your schools should approach a changing landscape. That’s why the Hilliard Board of Education created the Community Conversation Program. How we educate students is changing rapidly, and community input is essential. These happen quarterly, and the last one of this year is Tuesday, December 5, at 9:00 am at the District Central Office. The conversation topic will be focused on introducing the new Treasurer and learning more about the Five-Year Forecast. Please join us to share your voice.
Hollyfest
The 40th Annual Hollyfest Arts & Crafts Show will take place at Hilliard Davidson HS this Saturday, December 2, from 9-3. A portion of this event goes to the scholarships that are awarded to graduates from all three high schools, totaling $31,000 annually. Admission is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for seniors and students.
