Families in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District will notice changes to the visitor check-in system the next time they make a stop at their child’s school.
Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District began using the software, Visitor Aware, to digitally manage who is coming in and out of the building.
“It’s a system that we can take away from the handwritten sign-in, and so we have something digital,” Asher Torbeck, the district’s safety and security coordinator, said.
It was implemented on Tuesday to better account for visitors and improve communications between staff while also keeping students safe.
“It does run checks against the sex offender registry program,” he said. “It also runs the FBI, Interpol Watch List and then any internal bans that we created. If there’s an issue with somebody, we can create a ban just so that it would make our staff aware if somebody were to come into the building.”
It also keeps track of who is coming in and out of district buildings.
