Wynantskill UFSD is pleased to announce that we will immediately begin using the Raptor Visitor Management
System to strengthen school safety. With this system, all new visitors entering the school must show a valid form of identification, which will be scanned into the Raptor System. The system will check the ID against the New York State Sex Offender Registry and our internal databases.
Once cleared by the system, it will print a visitor badge to wear for the duration of the visit. The badge includes name and ID photo, as well as the time entered and destination. Once a person’s ID has been scanned into the system, the visitor’s name and photo will remain in our system for future visits. The picture ID is only needed for the first visit. The whole process takes less than 60 seconds, and it’s time well spent to ensure the safety and security of those in our building.
The Raptor Visitor Management system allows us to quickly identify those who may present a danger to our students by checking the visitor’s name and date of birth against a national database of registered sex offenders. The sex offender registry is the only official database checked by the Raptor system. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded, and the information is not shared with any outside agency.
The safety of our students is our highest priority, and the Raptor visitor management system is a valuable asset to support a higher level of school security. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support in enhancing our school safety protocols.
