Guests

The policies and procedures related to guests and visitors exist to allow residents to have guests in a manner that does not infringe upon the comfort or rights of other residents and to maintain an appropriate level of safety and security in the building. Regardless of length of stay, the guest is expected to abide by all CISB policies, procedures, regulations and standards. The host is legally and financially responsible for the actions of his/her guests at all times. Any guest who violates any policy while on campus is subject to penalties and will be asked to leave. CISB has the right to ban any guest.

The following procedures and conditions must be carried out and met when inviting a guest on campus. It is the responsibility of the host to meet his/her guest at the school gates and to remain with that person at all times when the guest is on campus. Hosts are responsible for knowing the whereabouts of their guests at all times. All guests must register at the security gate by scanning the QR code. Each guest will be provided with a Visitor’s ID badge. When the guest leaves the campus they must be escorted to the front gates by the host and must sign out by scanning the QR code again.

Visitors who are not entering campus on school business, but to assist a resident with personal items (such as cleaning staff, maintenance workers, yoga instructors, beauticians, etc.) may only be on campus outside of school hours (after 4:00pm). For the safety of the students we want to limit the number of external visitors who enter campus while children are present. Visitors who are on campus to provide child care for teacher’s children under the age of three are permitted to be on campus during school hours with prior approval from the P&F Office if they have insurance and a criminal background check.

If a visitor will be coming on campus regularly, we would like to have them sign a disclaimer indicating they are aware that the school’s insurance does not cover them. This disclaimer form can be obtained from the Operations Office at W301.

The school is not liable for any injury or issue involving a visitor that may occur.

You are welcome to take family members and close friends on a brief tour of the school buildings or to meet people during school hours. However, family members and friends who are not a part of the CISB staff should not be in the school buildings to assist or “hang out” during working hours. Keep in mind that all employees at CISB have had a background check, while guests likely have not.
