The weekly newsletter for Gwinnett Online Campus

As part of the GCPS initiative, Gwinnett Online Campus will begin using the Raptor® Visitor Management System to enhance school safety and security by reading a visitor's (parent, contractor, etc.) drivers’ license or other approved government issued identification. Once cleared through the system, a visitor badge is produced that includes a photo, name of the visitor, date & time, and destination. Upon check-in, each visitor will present their identification for scanning purposes. Visitors should allow a little extra time during check-in when arriving on-campus for an event or activity.
