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.

Raptor Safe App

We are expecting delays as we get accustomed to checking families in and out on the Raptor system.
