Saint Joseph’s Visitor’s Policy

The Head of School or his designee is responsible for all persons in the building and on the grounds. For these reasons, the following rules apply to visitors to the schools:

  • All visitors to the school must report to the Front Office upon arrival at the school. There they will be required to register, and must present a valid drivers’ license or state ID. 
  • They will then be issued a visitor’s identification badge, which must be worn at all times while in the school or on school grounds. 
  • All visitors must sign out and exit via the main entrance of the school when their visit is complete.
  • Students and staff may not open doors for any person at any time.
  • Any unauthorized person on school property will be reported to the Head of School or his designee. Unauthorized persons will be asked to leave. The police may be called if the situation warrants.
  • All visitors must follow school’s Code of Conduct.
