Board Policy 3515.1, Campus Access and Safety

Beginning February 2, 2026, we will begin our new arrival and dismissal procedures. At the December 2025 Board of Education Meeting, the CVESD Board amended Board Policy 3515.1, Campus Access and Safety, to outline the procedures for parents/guardians to safely check in and accompany their children on campus during morning drop-off. Following the Board’s decision, parents/guardians may enter the school for morning breakfast and/or drop-off, after they sign into the Chula Vista Elementary School District’s visitor management system named, Raptor.You can download the “Raptor Safe” app before visiting your child’s school to speed up the screening process. The app will pre-register your credentials and provide you with a QR code you can scan when you arrive.
