Campus Visitors: Please bring a photo ID and check in through the front office when you arrive.
Volunteers: If you are volunteering on campus—working with students in a classroom, helping in our book room, or supporting in another volunteer capacity—you must be an LISD-approved volunteer.
There may be a few closed-campus days throughout the year when visitors are not permitted. We will always communicate those dates with families in advance.
