Visitor Management Software Protects K-12 Students

The Union Gap School District in Union Gap, Wash., uses EasyLobby visitor management software to protect students from unwanted guests. One primary reason the Union Gap School District installed EasyLobby was to alert lobby attendants to any visitor on each state’s sex offender database. Upon check in, if a guest is listed as a registered sex offender, a warning will alert the lobby attendant within seconds and an automatic e-mail alert can be sent to other school administrators.

Like many other schools, Union Gap decided to do away with a paper guest book for visitor sign in, replacing it with a professional and secure approach to visitor registration. All guests entering the school must present a photo ID such as a driver’s license. The ID is scanned to capture the information and create a professional visitor badge.
