POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
To ensure visitations are productive for both school and visitors, please follow these guidelines:
- All visitors must present valid photo identification and register in the school office prior to visiting the campus.

- Provide prior notice to teachers and office staff to schedule conferences.
Our goal is to increase the safety of students and staff in a manner that welcomes parental involvement.
Volunteers have an important and valuable role at Weis Middle School, whether volunteering for the school or for the PTO.

SIGNING IN AND OUT:

By signing in, you are making it possible for school personnel to locate you in the event of an emergency. It is important that you write your name legibly, as well as the location where you will be working, and the type of work you will be doing.
It is also important to remember to sign-out when you leave.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:
Staff restrooms are available for use by adult volunteers.
If you are unable to come at your scheduled time or if you will be late, please call the school and leave a message. Remember that someone is counting on you.
Turn off cell phone ringers when in classrooms.
