  • Security

    The School asks that parents place a small, circular SJS decal on the lower, passenger side of their car front windshield. Decals are available at the reception areas and parents' desks. We have fully implemented the Raptorware Visitor Management System to help track all campus visitors, including parents, vendors, and contractors. When school visitors check in, we will ask for a valid, government-issued form of identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) that will be scanned by the system. The IDs will be matched against the 50 states’ public sex offender databases, as well as data entered by the School on custody issues and restraining orders. The system will alert us to any person who might jeopardize the safety of the campus. This is not a comprehensive criminal background search—no other criminal information (traffic tickets, warrants, misdemeanors, or felonies) can be searched. Parents and visitors are required to wear their badges the entire time they are on campus. Vehicular traffic through gate 1 or 9 drivers will be required to show their parent, visitor badge, or identification at or near the gate to be granted access.

Drivers are asked to refrain from taking an immediate left onto Wickersham. Please do not drop students off on Claremont or in the surrounding neighborhood.
