Campus Access & Visitor Procedures
The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority at Carden Conejo School. For this reason,
campus access is carefully monitored and controlled at all times. Parents and visitors may not enter campus
buildings, classrooms, playground areas, or common spaces without first checking in through the front office
and receiving authorization.
All parents and visitors must report to the front office immediately upon arrival, sign in with office staff, and
obtain a visitor pass before proceeding anywhere on campus. Visitor badges must be worn and visible at all
times while on school grounds. Unauthorized entry onto campus, into classrooms, or into student areas
constitutes a security breach and will be addressed immediately.
Classroom Visits
To preserve instructional time and minimize disruption, classroom visits must be scheduled in advance
through the front office. Parents may not enter classrooms, hallways, playground areas, or other student
spaces without a confirmed appointment and proper sign-in procedures. Faculty members are not permitted
to host unscheduled drop-in visits during instructional hours. We appreciate families’ cooperation in
protecting the academic focus and safety of all students.
Authorized Parent Presence on Campus
Parents are welcome on campus when formally invited by a teacher, administrator, or staff member for a
scheduled conference, volunteer opportunity, classroom activity, performance, or special event. For nonschool-wide events, all parents must follow standard sign-in procedures at the front office and wear a visitor
badge while on campus. Outside of scheduled and approved events, campus access is limited in order to
maintain a secure learning environment and minimize disruption to instructional time.
Student Pick-Up & Early Dismissal
When arriving to pick up a child during the school day, parents must report to the front office. Office staff
will notify the classroom, and the student come to the office for dismissal. Parents may not go directly to
classrooms, playgrounds, or other areas to retrieve their child. If arriving after the school day has begun,
parents must check in at the front office so that attendance records can be accurately updated and the
student can be properly admitted to class.
Off-Hours Access
Parents and visitors may not access campus during off-hours unless prior authorization has been granted by
administration. This includes early morning, after-school hours, and weekends. Access during these times
must be coordinated in advance and will follow established sign-in procedures.
Security Protocol Compliance
Failure to follow campus access procedures may result in restricted campus privileges, administrative
action, or other consequences deemed appropriate by the School. These procedures are not merely
administrative formalities; they are essential components of our campus safety plan. We ask for the full
cooperation of all families in maintaining a secure environment where students can learn and thrive.
