The main objective of using this new system is to monitor the access of visitors entering each school at Byram Hills.
This security system involves scanning a driver’s license or another form of acceptable photo ID and cross referencing identification with a national safety database. After the ID has been scanned, a guest badge will be printed that must be worn and returned at the end of the visit.
Listed below are the necessary steps that will be taken to gain access into each school at Byram Hills:
1. Inform security guard/hall monitor of the purpose of the visit and present the individual with a photo ID. Acceptable photo ID includes a state driver's license, state IDs, military IDs, government IDs, government driver's license, green card, Social Security ID cards or a passport.
2. The ID will be scanned using the school’s automated visitor management system.
3. A visitor badge will be printed that must be worn at all times when the visitor is in the building.
4. At the conclusion of the visit, printed visitor badges must be returned. The visitor will then be logged out of the building on the school’s computerized sign-out sheets.
Scanning the ID will be a one-time task per building. Once the visitor’s information is in the system at each school, IDs will no longer need to be presented.
Questions about the added security can be directed to the assistant principal at each building.
