Visitor Etiquette

VISITOR ETIQUETTE

All outside doors are kept locked during the school day.  Visitors must present themselves and a driver’s license at the Main Entrance on South Pleasant Avenue to be admitted.  Parent/guardians and other visitors are required to report to the Main Office upon entering the building.

Please remember to follow these procedures when visiting Somerville School:

  • Ring the buzzer and tell the Main Office the purpose of your visit.
  • When requested please scan your license in the scanner.  Once admitted, proceed to the Main Office.
  • Receive a Visitor Badge and wear the Visitor Badge at all times in the school.
  • Make sure to return the Visitor’s Badge before you exit the building.  Leaving the building from any door other than the Main Entrance is not permitted.

FORGOTTEN ITEMS

Please do not ask that your children be summoned to the Main Office for forgotten items unless it is an emergency.  Do not go to your child’s classroom with items to deliver to avoid disrupting classes as much as possible.  Classes will not be interrupted for forgotten items, rather these items should be placed on the table in front of the Main Office for pick-up.  Please write your child’s name and grade on any items you leave. 

PETS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY

For numerous reasons, including allergies and liability, dogs and other pets are prohibited from school property during school hours.
