students or contractors of HOPE for Hyndman Charter School (“Charter

School”). The Charter School welcomes parents and others who have

legitimate purpose and do not interfere with instruction.

Charter School for any excessive number or disruptive visitors, those who

fail to make advance arrangements or whose presence conflicts with other

Charter School activities.

the performance of duties. All visitors must sign-in and out of the

building and carry a visitor's pass or identification badge. If such visitors

do not have current state and federal criminal and state child abuse

clearances on file at the Charter School, visitors must be accompanied by a

staff member at all times if during Charter School hours or if students are

in the Charter School facility. Charter School staff who observe visitors

without proper identification or without a Charter School staff escort shall

report it immediately to the Charter School office.
