Visitors and Volunteers

Visitors

Parents, family members, and other adult residents of the district are, in general, not permitted access to the building while school is in session. All volunteers must undergo fingerprinting to work in the building while classes are in session: 7:15 AM-3:45 PM.

If special arrangements due to disability are necessary, please contact a building principal for assistance. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the district will make reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities may access Valley View schools and school events. The Board also has an obligation to ensure that school visits are not disruptive to the educational process and student achievement. It is necessary, then, to regulate school visits as follows:

• Pursuant to Section 3313.20 of the Ohio Revised Code, all visitors to the building are required to be cleared through the principal’s office before contacting any student or staff member. Depending on the nature of the business to be conducted at school, visitors are required to swipe their state-issued ID at the Welcome Center kiosk to be issued a photo visitor badge. All visitors must wear an identification tag for the duration of their visit. Visitors will also need to sign out at the Welcome Center as they leave the building.
• Persons wishing to visit a class in session need to make arrangements in advance with the school principal. The principal will make every effort to schedule the visit as soon as possible at a time convenient for the visitor and the teacher.
• The superintendent and/or the building principal have the authority to prevent entry into the school or to remove any person when there is sufficient and good reason to believe the presence of that person is not conducive to the preservation of the peace or the orderly operation of the school.
