VISITOR SIGN IN Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! In an effort to maintain your child's safety, Westerly Public Schools implemented the RAPTOR Visitor Management System. Upon entering the building, visitors will check in with the main office where you will be asked to provide a photo ID (driver's license, state issued ID, or passport) that will be scanned into the system to be checked against sex offender databases from all 50 states. Raptor will then print a visitor badge with a photo, location of visit, and the date/time. We are able to keep track of who is in the building at all times. Prior to exiting the building, you will be required to return your badge to the main office and we will sign you out. You will only have to provide your photo ID one time to scan. On any subsequent visits, we will be able to pull your information using only your name and then a badge can be printed. Thank you for your cooperation!
Our students are offered fresh fruits and vegetables every Tuesday and Thursday. Locally grown produce is used when in season. We encourage all children to taste test their fruit and vegetable cup. This experience creates an excellent opportunity for a dinnertime conversation starter. Please ask your child to share his or her experience and facts they have learned about fruits and vegetables.
