Campus Visitor Guidelines
Parents and others are welcome to visit Texas School for the Deaf.
For the safety of those within the school setting, all visitors are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of courtesy and conduct. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
All visitors must report to Security to receive a visitor pass to wear while on campus.
For the safety and security of our students, Texas School for the Deaf has implemented the Raptor Visitor Tracking System. The purpose of this system is to ensure that adult visitors on campus are identified and do not pose a threat to any students or staff. Visitors will be asked to present one of the following forms of identification to campus Security in order to access campus:
- Valid Driver's License (any state)
- Passport
- Visa Green Card
Identification cards will be scanned and returned. Once cleared, visitors will be issued a visitor's badge, which must be worn while on campus. Upon departure, the visitor's badge must be returned to Security.
Pursuant to Texas Penal Code §30.06 & 30.07, firearms are prohibited on the TSD campus.
