Visitor Management

Safety protocols for visitors entering our buildings have been established to protect our students and staff. The doors to our schools will be locked once the school day has begun. Parents and other visitors are asked to come to the front door and be “buzzed in.” Security cameras are located at the building doors and other locations throughout the building.

The Ladue School District considers the safety of our students and staff a top priority. Visitor Aware, a visitor management system, can identify potential threats and verify guests before granting them access; it also includes facial recognition, making the process easier for our families and visitors. 

All visitors must present valid photo identification to the Visitor Aware kiosk and be verified by office staff. Acceptable forms of identification include: 

  • Any state-issued driver's license or identification card
  • Military ID (active duty or retired)
  • Permanent resident card
  • Passport card 

Once a visitor/contractor scans their identification card, the system instantly checks the name against registered sex offender registries nationwide. Once the visitor/contractor has been cleared and entry is approved, the system prints a visitor badge containing the name, photo, and destination. Individuals will not be required to complete this process if they simply drop off an item in the office.

We strive to provide a welcoming and warm environment while maintaining a culture of safety and security.
