Visitors

All visitors, including parents, MUST report to the office before seeing a teacher or a student.
We can ensure the safety of the students only by having knowledge of who is in the building.
Muscogee County School District has adopted the Raptor Security System, designed to increase
safety in the schools. All visitors must have a valid Georgia Driver’s License in order to be cleared
through the Raptor Security System.

For the safety of all students, no persons without enrolled students or official business are allowed in
the building without the approval of an administrator. Students not enrolled at Forrest Road
Elementary are not permitted to visit during the school day.

Unaccompanied school-aged children from other schools are not allowed in the building during
the school day. Students are not allowed to bring friends or relatives to school (even if they are
from out of town) except for special events with special permission by the administration prior
to the event.

Please remember that all yellow curbed areas are reserved for emergency vehicles only. Visitors
parking in these areas are subject to ticketing.
